According to Google, the new Chrome update brings a smart bottom bar that disappears when you scroll, freeing up more space for content under the navigation bar. The Chrome team made sure it works with current mobile web designs, but Google is also warning developers to watch out for possible overlaps with the gesture navigation bar.

Google is updating Chrome for Android to utilize more of your phone's display by stretching content right to the bottom edge.

Google has announced that starting with Chrome 135 on Android, the browser will draw content edge-to-edge, extending into Chrome's toolbar at the top and the bottom navigation bar. So, you will see Chrome showing the web page's content behind the navigation bar. The bottom "chin" will automatically hide as you start scrolling.

Google Chrome has been the dominant Web browser for a decade. But it may soon face competition from AI companies OpenAI and Perplexity.
