Google is starting to roll out a feature for Chrome on Android that lets users move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. It’s something that iOS Chrome users have been able to do since 2023, and it could help make the address bar more easily accessible, especially if you are using a phone with a bigger screen.
“Depending on the size of your hand and your device, one address bar position may feel more comfortable than the other,” Google’s Nick Kim Sexton says in a blog post. “We designed this update to give you the flexibility to choose your preferred location — so you can browse with more ease.”
To move your address bar to the bottom (or back to the top), press and hold on the bar and select the option to move it. You can also make the change from the settings menu.
Personally, I much prefer having the address bar on the bottom of the screen. I made the switch with Safari in iOS 15 and haven’t looked back.
