I never really liked the launcher menu layout of chromeOS/Flex, it resembles windows. I like the old whole screen launcher layout. Is there any way to bring that look back? Or is there any way to convince Google to bring that back??

Google will not bring it back, but I am pretty sure that if you go into chrome://flags, there should be a launcher option. I am not sure that it is still there, as I use Linux now, and don't have chrome, and on my only chromebook I do not have access to it, but it should be there.

Hey, did you be able to change it back? If you did, which setting was that in chrome://flags ?

No. I didn't change it. It is how it was. Horrible. I don't like it at all.

What was the setting name, though?

I don't remember the name of the flag, as I never tried to enable it. You may search it by typing launcher or something similar
