TL;DR

A new update is adding a dedicated back button to Chrome on Android devices.

It also introduces a new “Site controls” feature in the three-dot menu.

The “Add to Home screen” option has also been renamed to “Install and create shortcut.”

Chrome for Android has plenty of useful features , and Google keeps adding more every now and then . However, there’s one quality-of-life feature that’s been missing from Chrome for Android, even though it’s been available in the iOS app for a while: a dedicated back button. Fortunately, Google is now fixing that.

Chrome for Android version 150 is now rolling out, and it’s finally introducing the back button on Android devices (h/t 9to5Google ). With this update, the browser’s three-dot menu now displays both the forward and back arrows side-by-side. Earlier versions of the browser only had the forward arrow button.
