While the design, animations, and user experience are key selling points it also offers lots of baked-in AI functionality with features like the controversial “Browse for Me.” This summarizes information from multiple websites on a single page by generating an “answer” to yout initial search query.

Apple broke the internet, or at least some people’s muscle memory, when it moved the search bar on Safari in iOS 15. Fast-forward a couple years, and now Chrome is adopting the same design change. For Chrome, Google is including the setting to choose between a top or bottom address bar. A touch and hold gesture will also fling the address bar from the top or bottom.
