Chrome for Android Adds Optional Bottom Address Bar

News summary

Google Chrome is rolling out a feature for Android that lets users move the address bar to the bottom of the screen, following a similar change made by Apple’s Safari in 2021. Unlike Apple’s initial mandatory relocation, Google is making this change optional, allowing users to choose the bar's position based on their preference. The feature, already on Chrome for iOS since 2023, is aimed at improving accessibility and one-handed use on large devices. Users can enable the bottom bar by long-pressing the address bar or via Chrome settings, with the flexibility to revert any time. The address bar will continue to auto-hide during scrolling, and all other Chrome interface elements remain unchanged. The rollout is gradual and will reach all Android users in the coming weeks.
