Was the navigation bar moved?

Reported by m...@niallobrien.me, Nov 7

Issue description

Device name:Samsung Galaxy S8+

Application version:70.0.3538.80
Operating system:8.0

Steps to reproduce:
(1) open browser
(2) Navigation bar containing the home button, search, tabs and setting is now at the bottom of the screen.
(3)

Expected result: the tab button used to be to the right of the address bar and this whole navigation bar was at the top of the screen.


Actual result:

 me@niallobrien.me: Could you please provide screenshot of the issue. This seems to be intended and is due to chrome Duet flag. 

Thanks!
Sure. Notice that the tab button used to be to the right of the address bar (I had an old screenshot). It is now located at the bottom with a new nav panel at the bottom of the screen. This nav panel does show/hide much like the address bar, however I'd personally like the option to restore the previous behaviour for viewing tabs, opening a new tab etc. Thanks.

Adding further information:
I've just experimented with the Duet flag and here's what I found.
Disabling the flag (and restarting) did not revert this change (functionality remained the same). However, then setting the flag to "default", having first disabled it, then restarting Chrome seemed to revert the feature and now my tab button is back to where it originally was (next to the address bar).

A quick search online does indeed reveal that Chrome Duet is the feature that moved the tab button and placed a nav bar at the bottom of the screen. Thanks for confirming, without knowing what the feature was called, my initial searches were not yielding satisfactory results. Now that I know what the feature is called, I'm free to adjust it according to my preferences and I believe we can close out this issue.

Many thanks.
