If there is one thing you can guarantee in life, other than death and taxes, it’s that Google will update the Chrome web browser with alarming frequency to fight off attacks using newly discovered security vulnerabilities. That guarantee will disappear for an estimated 300 million Android users starting August 5. Here’s what you need to know.

Google is starting to roll out a feature for Chrome on Android that lets users move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. It’s something that iOS Chrome users have been able to do since 2023, and it could help make the address bar more easily accessible, especially if you are using a phone with a bigger screen.

Announced on a support page, Google says that Chrome will now require Android 10.0 or higher to work. This means that Android 8.0 (Oreo) and Android 9.0 (Pie), currently the older supported versions, will lose support in early August 2025. The change kicks in with the Chrome 139 release on Android, scheduled for that first week of August.
