Google Chrome version 150 for Android introduces a dedicated back button, enhancing navigation options. This change, previously available on iOS, simplifies the user experience by providing an alternative to gesture navigation.
Google Chrome version 150 for Android introduces a dedicated back button. This feature provides an alternative navigation option alongside the existing system back gesture or navigation button.
The addition of the back button results in the removal of the info button and the introduction of a new 'Site controls' option in the overflow menu. Consequently, the layout of existing buttons, such as the Bookmark star and Download button, is altered, which may disrupt established user habits.
In addition to the back button, the phrase ‘Add to Home screen’ has been changed to ‘Install and create shortcut’, reflecting a more descriptive function in the menu.
Version 150 began rolling out widely via the Play Store today, enhancing Chrome for Android with new navigation capabilities. This update brings it more in line with features previously available on iOS.
