How to Move Chrome Address Bar to the Bottom on Android

How to Move Chrome Address Bar to the Bottom on Android

Posted on June 23, 2019 by Mona 5 Comments

Running a web browser such as Chrome on your big screen smartphone can be a daunting job, especially if you want to carry out the task using just one hand. One of the big problems with this is trying to access the address bar which is located on the top in Chrome by default.

Fortunately, Google has introduced a new method to move the address bar to the bottom of your smartphone’s screen after acknowledging the fact that users are having difficulties. The feature was already present in the Dev and Canary channels and it has now found its way on to the stable Google Chrome build.

If you are having issues with the address bar and are looking for a way to enable this feature, this article will tell you how to move the Google Chrome address bar to the bottom of your screen.

Moving the Chrome Address Bar to The Bottom of Your Screen on Android

Launch the Chrome browser on your Android device and put the following path in the address bar;

chrome://flags

Put the following path in the address bar

After doing that, the Chrome flags’ page should open. Proceed to click on the 3-dot menu button located at the top right corner and select “find in page”. Then you can search for “Chrome Home”.

Find in page

Under the Chrome Home section, click on “Default”. Then a drop-down menu will pop-up. Select “Enabled” from the list of options provided.

Select “Enabled”

When you have successfully done that, you will be asked to restart the browser. Click on “Relaunch now” and the browser will restart.

Click on “Relaunch now” and the browser willrestart

If you follow these steps, then your address bar will now be located at the bottom of your Android device’s screen.

In some cases, changes may not have taken place even after you restart the app. If you are facing that problem, consider force stopping the app, then relaunch it and everything should be working perfectly.

Conclusion

Running the Google Chrome browser on your Android smartphones can be difficult, especially if you must do it with a single hand. To add to that issue, the fact that new devices now come with screen ratios of up to 18:9, makes accessing the address bar an even harder task.

Fortunately, Google noticed this and added an option that allows you to push the address bar to the bottom. Many users now use this trick making tasks on Google Chrome relatively easier.

If you are using a large screen device and you launch the Google Chrome browser, don’t hesitate to use this method to move the address bar to the bottom for easier access.

    Why google is so stupid and don’t add this feature by default in years. Since screens on smartphones are bigger than 4 inches it is not easy to reach the adress bar on top.
    Google engeneers, are you ever thinking?
