- Google is testing a bottom bar for the in-app browser present within the Google app.
- The Google app uses a Chrome Custom Tab implementation to display external content.
- Google has also been testing a redistributed bottom bar in the Google app, so this change could bring about some consistency.
Update, September 1, 2024 (10:48 AM ET): Code sleuth Leopeva64 on X (formerly known as Twitter) spotted the change earlier. They have also spotted a double-decker bottom bar that adds the Search bar to the button layout. Other layouts are in testing, too.
There is another flag related to the bottom bar of Chrome custom tabs on Android that allows you to enable different layouts, one of them is a “double decker”:https://t.co/gqlOekzHKW pic.twitter.com/AgbqGvYDdH
