If we look around, we will find that Google Chrome is right now the most popular web browser. The feature-rich web browser is available for desktop and smartphones. Recently, Google introduced lots of features to the Chrome for desktop-like Tabbed groups, new extension bar, music control bar, etc.
Now it looks like Google wants to change the way we switch between tabs on Chrome for Android. Google is testing out a new feature that lets you use icons to navigate between the opened tabs.
A new Chrome flag allows Android users to add a tab bar on the bottom of the screen. The new tab bar will list all opened tabs. So, in this article, we have decided to share a working method to add a tab switcher on the bottom in Chrome for Android.
