Google is starting to roll out a feature for Chrome on Android that allows users to move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. This is something that iOS Chrome users have been able to do since 2023, and it can help make the address bar more accessible, especially if you’re using a phone with a large screen.
“Depending on the size of your hand and your device, one address bar position may be more comfortable than another,” Nick Kim Sexton, Google’s Google Product Manager, wrote in a blog post. “We’re making this update to give you the flexibility to choose the location that works best for you, so you can browse the web with more ease.”
To move the address bar to the bottom (or back to the top), press and hold it, and then select the move option. You can also do this from the settings menu.
Personally, I like it better when the address bar is at the bottom of the screen. I switched to Safari in iOS 15 and haven’t looked back.
