Chrome for Android is getting a customizable shortcut in the address bar

Google is always experimenting with the Chrome interface, but many of these tests are canceled. Chrome Duo’s bottom navigation interface has been gone for a while, but the company continues to test other new things, and the latest change to tapping the toolbar is a custom shortcut between the address bar and the tab switcher.

Toolbar options can be found in Settings below. Advanced -> Shortcut Toolbar. You can also enable an item by enabling two flags if for some reason it isn’t already visible in your canary. chrome://flags/#adaptive-button-in-top-toolbar And chrome://flags#adaptive-button-in-top-toolbar-customization.

Certainly for us Vivaldi, a Chromium-based competitor that offers an incredibly wide range of options for interface tweaks, and can make you dream of more customization opportunities for Chrome.
