MacOS – How to change Google Chrome’s address-bar-text font size (the ‘https://…’)

fontgoogle-chromehigh sierramacossafari

How does one change the text for Chrome's address bar font size? I need to make it larger, more readable, especially for high-resolution monitor displays.

This font size is NOT for the displayed web-page content(s).

I'm running macOS 10.12.6, Chrome Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit). I want to do it for macOS 10.13, too.

Use TinkerTool to change the System font.

Problem is, making larger System fonts can do wonky things not only in Chrome but other apps/windows. Other than trying diff font sizes, how can I adjust for this in Chrome? Maybe I can increase the address-bar height somehow - possibly by making larger extension icon sizes, or some other customization settings I've not yet found? Suggestions welcome.

wonky font size makes Chrome silly (I'm the question author. Default System font size for my MacBook = 13.)
