In Google Chrome for Android, the address bar has always been at the top, except for an experiment in 2016 called Chrome Home internally. Unfortunately the experiment resulted in nothing, but Google has once again ditched the idea of ​​putting the address bar at the bottom Once again.

On existing mobile phones one handed operation It can be a little complicated. One of the easiest solutions to the problem is to put navigation at the bottom, like Google recently did with Google Maps. If the trial continues this time, Google Chrome may be next.

The dream of the address bar below returns for Google Chrome

There are some who prefer the address bar to be at the top, and there are others who prefer it to be at the bottom. Secondly, had to look for another web browser, because Chrome Home trialA Chrome flag that became quite popular in 2016 has unfortunately disappeared. Since then there has been no way to change the location of the address bar. So far.

Google is trying to let us in again dock address bar in ChromeIt’s something you can now try for yourself with the latest version of Chrome Canary. you should open chrome://flags and call this flag Call Bottom Toolbar any #android-sub-toolbar. You need to mark it as active or activated.

you will need Restart for changes to take effectbut in my case this was not enough and I also had to force close the app and clear its cache. It is common for some of these Chrome Flags to require two reboots for the changes to apply.

You will then see that in Google Chrome settings there is a new item called. Address bar. You can choose here if you want top or bottom address barto your liking.

Address bar below… basically the same as above, but belowThe main advantage is that access is easier when you hold the phone with one hand. The context menu is aligned to the bottom, and when typing an address the full-screen layout is the same as usual.

And if you want to change its location from top to bottom, you can select it. a long tap on the address barwhich displays a context menu to move the bar up or down as appropriate.

Lower the address bar this is another experiment It’s been nearly eight years since the last one, and there’s still no guarantee that the idea will succeed this time. However, Google’s start to try again gives hope to those who have been waiting for this for years that this time the idea will come true.
