In this guide, we will show you how to move the Google Chrome address bar to the bottom of your screen. This makes it easy to use your phone with one hand. Additionally, if you’re using the Chrome Browser beta, these steps can move it to the top.
Most phones these days have big screens. Trying to reach the top of the screen to enter a website address is not ideal. Especially for those with small hands. Fortunately, we can easily move it to the bottom of the screen.
Earlier this year, Google changed the website address bar from top to bottom. However, this useful change is only developer and the beta version of Chrome Browser for Android. So almost no one has it. However, you can get it by following our quick instructions below.
It’s not a big change or a crazy new feature, but it does make it easy to use your phone with one hand. Also, our trick adds a more modern user interface to Google Chrome for Android.
Move the Chrome Address Bar to the Bottom of the Screen
Chrome has tons of hidden features and settings. These are known as “flags”, but changing the wrong one will break your web browser. Therefore, change only the flags detailed below.
When Google Chrome restarts, you will see a completely different browsing experience. Chrome’s address bar is now at the bottom of the screen and has a nice, rounded modern UI.
You can swipe up from the address bar to find your bookmarks or see a tile view and list of your most recent or frequently visited websites. It’s a minor change, but you’ll have an easier time typing on websites and navigating Google Chrome with one or both hands.
If you’re using Chrome beta and don’t want the address bar to be at the bottom, follow the steps above and disable both flags we just mentioned. Then it will return to the top as before.
