Chrome for Android now lets you move the address bar to the bottom, too | TechCrunch

Key takeaways:

  • Google Chrome for Android now allows users to move the address bar to the bottom of the screen for easier mobile use, following a similar design introduced by Apple in iOS 15.
  • The feature gives users the option to choose the address bar’s location rather than enforcing the change, offering more customization.
  • To move the address bar, users can either long-press on it and select the bottom placement or change the setting from the Chrome Settings menu.
  • The change is meant to improve usability by placing the bar closer to the user’s fingers while holding the phone.
  • Google’s approach avoids the backlash Apple received in 2021 by making the bottom address bar optional rather than default.
