Chrome copies one of Safari’s best features

Chrome, Google’s browser, is getting a new feature already available in Safari and what many consider to be one of the best features of Apple’s navigation app: the ability to move the navigation bar to the bottom of the screen.

According to the developer Steve MoserChrome will offer users the ability to choose whether to have the navigation bar at the top or not. place it in the area below. This new position can be activated in two ways. The first is through Chrome settings and location selection. The second is to simply click and tap on the navigation bar.

It is also new, which has two main advantages. On the one side, makes it much easier to see Because by placing the navigation bar at the bottom, a person can quickly access a link or find something much easier if he holds the smartphone with only one hand. On the other hand, for Chrome, this could be an opportunity for loyal Safari users already accustomed to this position. make it easier to switch to the Google browser.

At the moment yes this is a beta feature. Therefore, only users who have access to Chrome for iOS preview can try it out. In any case, this feature is expected to be available in the coming weeks.

Safari has supported this feature for years, which is now implemented in Chrome.

We reiterate that Safari, like Chrome, also allows you to reposition the navigation bar and tabs on iPhone. To do this, you just need to go to “Settings” > “Safari” > “Tabs” and choose between placing the panel at the bottom or at the top.

Apple’s browser, yes, has not been without controversy since the debut of this feature with the release of iOS 15. Websites have not been optimized for this new design, many basic controls have been hidden and the bar moved up when the user wanted to enter an address. Fortunately, the company has already solved this problem. Currently, no matter where the user places the panel, the same buttons and functions will be displayed.
