I modified the title/description to clarify that the toolbar looks taller (not wider), as I was a bit confused until I read further into the issue - hope that's OK!

It is most likely due to this upstream change in cr115 which enables an increase of the "steady state" height of the omnibox: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/af83a2a402eb7242b2abe81ad8983e2a3884bccf

While this UI change is currently behind a feature flag, that flag will probably be going away shortly.
