I'm so frustrated I could scream.

I have love vision and have my computer optimized to make it very workable for my needs.  In the builds of Chrome released last week, the menu and bookmark font size was scaled down to the point that I can't read them.  I've tried to change the computer's settings and they won't affect Chrome.  I've posted to other Chrome discussion groups and have found no solution.  

Is this the way Google treats their low vision users?  Make it impossible to use their browser?  I use Chrome on a Windows PC, iMac, Macbook, Android phone and Android tablet.  I use it because it works across all devices.  Not being able to see the menus and bookmarks means it DOESN'T WORK and makes me think it's time to put Firefox in all the devices since I can still see their menus.  

Hey Google, how about an answer or a fix for this problem????????????????????????????/

I don't believe this was intentional. Please visit chrome://version and paste the complete text you find there so I can find out exactly what version you're on, and if there might be any experiments running that you were opted into.

Thank you so much for your note.  I'm currently on Version 29.0.1547.22 beta-m.  

To give you an idea of how the menus look, here's a screenshot of the Chrome About page with a menu activated.  Hopefully it shows just how small the type is on the menus and bookmarks.

Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

It looks like things have gotten better, the Gmail notifications for sure, and the menu font size in Version 29.0.1547.49 beta-m.  

Or have I just gotten used to the menus?
