What you need to know
- Google Chrome 135 on Android introduces a long -term lower address bar facility this week.
- The said facility was available to iOS users since 2023, and other browsers such as Samsung Internet also had this feature for some time.
- The latest feature update is popped up to Chrome on Android this week, and a wide roll out is expected soon.
Google Chrome users will now have an easy way to browse, especially for big screen phones. The search giant has begun to start a new update, which moves the address bar from its traditional top position to bottom.
According to 9to5google, Google has initially tested the lower address bar on its chrome app for Android last October, and the company is now rolling it to the stable version of the browser app on Android phone.
The publication further notes that some users on the stable build, which is the Chrome 135 version, are already looking at the new prompt “You can touch and catch to carry the address bar down.” Alternatively, Chrome settings also have a new section that is dubbed “address bar” that allows users to convert their placements up or bottom, according to their preference.
Furthermore, apart from the situation, nothing has been changed significantly with the new address bar. The Three-Dot menu and its options such as New tabs, Inquagnito tabs, bookmarks, and history remain the same, and users still have to reach the top of the screen to get them, while they were rebuilt downwards because they are the most commonly used options while browsing.

The said feature has just begun to pop up on the Chrome 135 version this week, and a wide roll-out of the convenience is expected. This has been a widely requested feature because today the phone has become difficult to reach the top, especially when used with the same hand.
Such easy options are already available in browsers such as Samsung Internet and Arc browser. It is good to catch Google and bring the most requested feature in Android devices at the end, while iOS users have this functionality for some time, which is accurate since 2023.
