Want to try new Material design top bar in Chrome? Download the Google Chrome Canary. There are many more features to try. Although, you can see other flags like Enabling Material UI Download pages in the stable version of Chrome, it's not well developed. You can keep track of the latest changes in the Chrome Canary.

All these features are still in developmental stage and therefore it can be removed anytime. Try until it works.
