- Google is testing a bottom bar for the in-app browser present within the Google app.

Update, September 1, 2024 (10:48 AM ET): Code sleuth Leopeva64 on X (formerly known as Twitter) spotted the change earlier. They have also spotted a double-decker bottom bar that adds the Search bar to the button layout. Other layouts are in testing, too.
