Starting with Google Chrome 130, Google has introduced a change to the style of notification toast that appears when you perform system actions in the browser. Examples include copying a link or adding items to the reading list.
As shown in the image above, the notification toast will appear right above the screen and below the address bar. The advantage of this feature is that it clearly indicates the action you’ve taken. However, personally, I prefer the old style where no notifications appeared on the screen at all.
