How To Get To Settings With Broken Home Button

Home push button in Google Chrome for Android is making a return

Google is constantly experimenting with new features and blueprint tweaks for its Chrome browser. Ordinarily, the interface changes are pretty minor, but sometimes they've been rather expansive such as the experimental Chrome Home interface which has been deprecated in favor of a new split toolbar 'Chrome Duplex' interface. Another change that to the interface that has acquired a lot of strife among users is the removal of the home button in the toolbar.

The home button is a standard feature of well-nigh spider web browsers, and fifty-fifty Google Chrome on desktops still has the button. Pressing the button launches the user's designated home webpage. It can exist a user-friendly way to quickly render to a webpage that you frequently bank check. My home page is prepare to XDA-Developers because I'g oftentimes coming back to check on the new articles and comments on the Portal. For whatsoever reason, Google removed the abode button in an earlier version of Chrome for Android, but it appears that a new feature flag is rolling out that allows yous to bring it dorsum.

On the latest nightly release of Chromium browser and Chrome Canary, a new flag has been added called "Force Enable Home Page Button." This flag can exist accessed by copying and pasting the post-obit into the accost bar:

                chrome://flags#forcefulness-enable-dwelling-folio-button

Enabling this flag and so restarting Chrome twice volition bring back the home folio button as shown in the screenshots to a higher place. Restarting Chrome twice means y'all'll have to open the browser and and then force shut it afterwards the initial restart occurs when you modify the flag. For those of you who miss the home button, this new feature should eventually make its style over to the beta and stable release channels, so go on an eye out for when it does.
