Issue descriptionSteps to reproduce the problem: I've been using Chrome Home with Expand button flag enabled as my 'daily driver' since the day it was available and I have some suggestions to improve it. 1) move the expand button to the right. Expand/collapse arrows are always located in corners because that makes most sense, its current location just doesn't feel right or look right. 2) Once you have tapped it to expand/open Chrome Home, the button should remain in it's location beside the URL bar, just pointing downward (obviously). The current way of using the Expand button isn't consistent because you tap the arrow to open Chrome Home, but the majority of users will be forced to swipe it down to close it (I'm certain the majority of users are not aware that tapping the system back button will close Chrome Home) What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? I very quickly made some rough screenshots showing what it would look like Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 62 Channel: canary OS Version: 6.0 Flash Version:

Moving over to designers for design feedback. Personal thought: overflow menu is usually in a corner so having it not in the corner can be weird. It also may make it harder to reach for left handed users.

In initial designs, we positioned the expand button on the far left. We intentionally moved it to its current position since the center of the screen is easier to reach.

I wonder if there should be an Android system wide right-handed or left-handed switch. Gboard already has it but it really seems like this should be a system wide setting (having each app have a right-handed/left-handed switch isn't the way to do this). The overflow menu being in far right corner is a bad experience for left handed people that use their phone with 1 hand. There are quite a few issues like this that make me think a left-handed/right-handed switch is the right decision

(Sorry for double posting) I really feel that downward pointing arrow beside the URL bar is very important to the Expand button flag. It would be much more consistent and natural; tap to expand, tap to collapse. The current way doesn't feel or look quite 'right'
