What unexpected news! I literally shed a single tear upon reading this. Good times.

I cannot believe Chrome still does not have this option.

Great news but this doesn't work with the Z Fold 6's inner screen. The address bar doesn't appear when this is enabled.

WOW, these settings were really buried in the bowels of Edge, not something one would normally bump into. Thanks for the deep dive.

I enjoyed the chat between Daniel and Zac on this during the last podcast. Glad Dan figured out which Flags were needed.

Long press on the address bar was the only way I could get
t the bar at the bottom (had to set flags first)

I have an iPhone 11 and found the setting change in General>Address Bar , not Appearance. In flags there were no flags to toggle this setting on.

However, now it's a long travel from the address bar to choosing a predicted result. Pros and cons...

Somehow it doesn't feel as comfortable as it did on Windows Mobile. Also an update seemed to revert it back to the top so had to manually bring it back down.
