Google has long allowed iOS users to move the Chrome address bar to the bottom of the screen. This feature makes it easier to reach the bar with one hand, especially as smartphones keep getting bigger. Surprisingly, Android users haven’t had this option—until now.
Chrome Update: Android Users, Get Ready for Easier Browsing!”
Good news for Android users: Google is working on bringing this feature to Android. According to a well-known leaker, Leopeva64, who shared updates on X (formerly Twitter), progress is underway in the latest version of Chrome Canary for Android. This version includes a shortcut that lets users move the address bar to the bottom, just like on iOS.
The process is simple and easy to use. By pressing and holding the address bar, a menu pops up with two options: one to copy the link and the other to change the bar’s position. While the feature is still in development and isn’t fully functional yet, it’s clear that progress is being made. Google is working to refine it, and we can expect it to appear in the beta version before finally reaching the stable release of Chrome.
This new feature will give Android users more flexibility when using Chrome, allowing them to customize the browser to their liking. Users will not only be able to move the bar with the shortcut. But also by adjusting the settings within the Chrome app.
For many, this update will make browsing easier, especially for those with larger phones who prefer one-handed use. Moving the address bar to the bottom will help make Chrome more ergonomic and comfortable to use. Once it’s fully available, Android users will have the same convenience iOS users have enjoyed for a while.
In summary, even though Android users have waited for this feature, it’s clear that Google is working hard to make Chrome more user-friendly and adaptable. Soon, Android users will have a more convenient browsing experience, with easier access to the address bar on large-screen smartphones. This change reflects Google’s focus on making Chrome easier to use across different platforms.
