How to Show or Hide Home Button in Google Chrome: Easy Steps

Google Chrome is known for its clutter-free user interface, speed, and security. It performs well around the world. Most web browsers have a button that redirects you to a predetermined homepage. However, Google no longer provides this feature by default to keep its interface user-friendly. If you miss having a button that instantly brings you back to a specific webpage with a single click, you can easily show or hide the Home button in Google Chrome. The “Home” button is hidden by default, but you can get it back on the taskbar.
