Google Chrome users got a nice surprise this morning: a newly revamped interface for their favorite browser. The new launch screen on Google Chrome has been divided into two sections: one dedicated to your apps, and another that showcases your most-visited sites on the web.

The document shows four potential designs for Chrome, one of which does away with a visible URL bar and freeing up vertical space for browsing.
