Chrome Stable Adds Bottom Address Bar Option

General
1

Chrome now allows users to move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. If the option isn’t visible in settings, enable it via chrome://flags under the bottom bar flag, restart Chrome, and toggle the setting.

Great feature, but let’s keep it optional and not force it on everyone.

The bar overlaps the system navigation bar for me. Anyone else?

Disabling the flag #edge-to-edge-bottom-chin will fix the overlap, but it stops the toolbar from hiding when you scroll.

Most users won’t bother and will just deal with it.

True, but now the info is here for those who need it.

The new bar conflicts with the tab groups bar, causing an overlap when scrolling.

I haven’t received this update yet. Must be server-side.

Try other browsers.

We all know other browsers exist. Let’s stay on topic.

If activating the flag doesn’t work, try changing your browser language to something else and then back. It worked for me.

Tried that but no luck. I’m on Android 15 QPR Beta. Any other ideas?

The bottom bar works in tabs but not on the homepage. Try enabling DynamicSafeAreaInsets and DynamicSafeAreaInsetsOnScroll to address layout issues.

How? I couldn’t find an option for it.

Go to Settings > Customise > Address Bar Location.

This thread is about Chrome. Let’s stop comparing.

Comparing UX design is fair—it shows which companies are more user-focused.
