Chrome for Android tests hiding the bottom navigation bar

Chrome Canary for Android now has an Appearance toggle that lets users completely hide or show the browser's bottom navigation bar. Applying the setting currently requires a browser restart, and Google is also testing slimmer bar heights of 56dp and 48dp versus the default 60dp.

• The toggle lives on the Appearance settings page in Chrome Canary
• Applying the setting currently requires a full browser restart
• Slimmer bar heights of 56dp and 48dp are being tested against the default 60dp
• Bottom toolbars are divisive: thumb-friendly on large screens but blamed for accidental taps
