Material Design in Bookmark Manager introduces improved spacing for the bookmarks list and also for the navigation drawer of folders.

This improved spacing also shows up on other menus for shuffling bookmarks or creating new ones.
Security improvements
With Chrome 63, Google introduces a new security feature – site isolation. This new feature is implemented to attract more companies to shift to Chrome from Microsoft’s Windows 10 Edge. Site Isolation will allow business admins to configure the browser to show content for each page in the way they want. It can also be customized so that specified webpages on the list can be kept isolated.
Site Isolation feature best suited for pages with sensitive information
The Site Isolation feature is designed to prevent malicious attacks that make use of vulnerabilities. This security feature enters the process when malicious attacks start running dangerous code to steal critical data and information.
Google recently explained that keeping each page isolated offers stronger and strengthened security. Google also suggests that Site Isolation feature is best-suited pages that need a log-in and carries delicate content. Google also asserts that this new feature will enhance memory usage on systems. It can also increase memory by 10-20 percent.
To enable this feature, go to Settings > About Chrome > Site Isolation > Enable.
