revert to old UI?
The bookmarks bar looks weird and the tab search button has moved to the left instead of the right, where it used to be.
Any way to revert the UI changes?
Thanks.

Don't give up guys, where is a will, there is a way. I was also suffering from questionable Chrome design. Until just an hour ago BRONZE Product Expert suggested following:
Open this in a new tab:
about:flags/#chrome-refresh-2023
Then set "Chrome Refresh 2023" flag to disable and Relaunch, it will change Chrome to previous UI.
Done so, and now enjoying nice and comfortable (cozy even) UI. And not that absolutely horrible "bleed my eyes out" design with bloated bookmarks icons (which totally messes up bookmark bar for lots of users) and other "bells and whistles" nobody wants or uses.

As someone forced into using Edge on my work computer, I get stuck with whatever idiotic thing is the default, e.g. Vertical tabs (eww) and the ugly enormous bing button.
I'm all for accessibilty and customisation options, but why do we need to have tabs highlighted in a contrasting colour and move the tab search icon by default? This should simply be an option in the settings or a simple toggle when you right click (like the option for the bookmark bar has been forever)
I fear unless we speak up, this will become the default chrome look that cannot be changed.
