Google is not forcing the change on all its users. Instead, it's adding a new feature that lets users configure the address bar's location to their liking.

Google is now giving users the option to move their address bar to the bottom of Android's Chrome thanks to a new update.

Google is starting to roll out a feature for Chrome on Android that lets users move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. It’s something that iOS Chrome users have been able to do since 2023, and it could help make the address bar more easily accessible, especially if you are using a phone with a bigger screen.
