Chrome for Android users can now choose which end of the screen the address bar is on
TL;DR Chrome for Android's bottom address bar is rolling out widely.
Users now have the option to keep the bar at the top of the screen or lower it to the bottom.
Google is giving Android Chrome users another way to customize their mobile browsing experience. Announced last month, the Android browser is finally getting a bottom address bar to make navigation a little more mobile-friendly. That update is now rolling out widely.
If you've been waiting for Chrome on Android to get a bottom bar, today is the day your wishes have been answered. In the latest version (version 138) of Chrome, you should now see an option to move the address bar to the bottom of the page. If you're not seeing it yet, you may have to go into App info and force stop the app a couple of times.
Once it's available, you should see a notification near the address bar as soon as you start browsing. This notification reads, 'You can touch and hold to move the address bar to the bottom.' Following those directions will open a new menu where you can 'Move address bar to the bottom' or 'Copy link.' Tapping on the former will automatically move the bar to the bottom of the screen.
There's also a second way to move the address bar. This alternative method requires you to tap on the three-dot menu, scroll down to Settings, and find the new 'Address bar' option. Tapping on this option will open a page where you can choose top or bottom.
We have already tried the new bottom browser experience and found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. Our own Andy Walker notes some of the quirks keeping this experience from being as good as it should be. Of course, if you don't like having a bottom address bar, you can continue using the traditional layout. But it's always nice to have the option to switch.

Google Is Spending Billions to Plug Into This Underrated Power Source
Google is signing a first-of-its-kind framework deal for hydropower with Brookfield Renewable. The deal will provide the technology company with stable and clean power for its operations. The agreement will enable Brookfield to lock in sales of hydropower and unlock the value of those assets. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Google requires a substantial amount of power to support its cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) operations. That's leading the technology giant to secure electricity supplies from power providers. It recently signed a massive power purchase agreement (PPA) with Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEPC)(NYSE: BEP) for hydroelectric power in the U.S. Here's how the deal will benefit both companies. Technology companies like Alphabet's Google have distinct energy needs. Their data centers require a steady stream of power 24/7. Meanwhile, Google, like many other large tech companies, has pledged to operate solely on carbon-free energy. In Google's case, it aims to achieve that ambitious goal by 2030. Given the intermittency of renewable energy sources (the sun sets; the wind isn't constant), the company needs to ensure it has an adequate supply of reliable, carbon-free energy to achieve its goals. That's leading the tech titan to turn to hydropower to help supply some of its power needs. The underrated electricity source can provide it with the baseload 24/7 power it needs from a carbon-free source. Google inked a first-of-its-kind hydro framework agreement with Brookfield, which will provide up to 3 gigawatts of carbon-free hydroelectric capacity in the U.S. to the technology company. That's the world's largest corporate clean power deal for hydroelectricity. Under the agreement, Brookfield will initially provide Google with all the power from its Hollywood and Safe Harbor hydro facilities in Pennsylvania. The 20-year PPAs cover 670 megawatts of capacity, representing more than $3 billion of power. Under the agreement, Google can secure up to 3 GW of carbon-free electricity from Brookfield as it becomes available in the future. The company can obtain this additional capacity as existing PPAs on Brookfield's hydro assets expire. Brookfield could also overhaul or upgrade its existing assets to provide more clean power to the grid, supported by Google's PPAs. The deal is a crucial step in ensuring that Google has the clean and reliable power it needs to support its data center operations and environmental goals. The deal with Google is also significant for Brookfield, which is one of the world's largest hydroelectric power operators. The framework deal with Google does two things for the company. It increases its cash flow and provides the company with opportunities to unlock the value of its U.S. hydro assets. Brookfield has a vast portfolio of legacy clean power generating assets secured by long-term PPAs. These agreements provide the company with stable and growing cash flows, as most of its PPAs index power rates to inflation. However, due to surging power demand, electricity prices are rising faster than inflation. That's providing Brookfield with the opportunity to lock in higher prices as legacy PPAs expire. At its investor day last fall, Brookfield highlighted that it had about 3 GW of hydroelectric capacity on PPAs that expire over the next five years. It now has a likely buyer for all this power under its framework agreement with Google. The company estimated that securing new PPAs for its hydro generation capacity alone could add up to $100 million annually to its funds from operations (FFO), or about 2% per share each year. That's in addition to inflation-driven rate increases, which should add another 2% to 3% to its annual FFO per share. The company noted that locking in higher pricing on future PPAs would increase the underlying value of its hydroelectric assets. That would enable Brookfield to layer in additional financing on those facilities, which it could use to fund new investments such as development projects and acquisitions. The company estimated that it could unlock over $3 billion in additional proceeds from financing its legacy U.S. hydro assets over the next five years as it recontacted those facilities. The Google deal puts it in a strong position to achieve this target. Securing new financing and deploying the proceeds into new investments could further enhance Brookfield's FFO growth rate. This agreement helps support the company's outlook that it can deliver more than 10% annual FFO per-share growth over the next decade. Google needs more clean power to support its cloud and AI businesses. It's turning to hydropower supplied by Brookfield to meet some of that need. That deal will also be a boon for Brookfield, enabling it to sell most of its available capacity to a strong customer for the next two decades. That will lock in earnings growth while also positioning the company to unlock the value of its hydro assets via refinancing. It can use those proceeds to support the continued expansion of its global clean power portfolio.

NotebookLM Opens Up to a Wider World. Meet Its New Curated Collection of Expert Insights
I started using Google's nifty NotebookLM to sort through and make sense of my documents, notes, and stray bits of information. Now, the AI tool is getting a new series of "featured notebooks" from a variety of sources for all of us to explore. Google announced the new feature on Monday, along with partnerships with respected publications to supply a curated collection of notebooks that will grow over time. NotebookLM is a unique and powerful notetaking and research tool, and it's my overall favorite piece of AI kit available. Google continues to introduce new features that make it into a powerhouse for learning and research that you can use for school, work, play or somewhere in between. Here's what you need to know about the new featured notebook collection. For more, don't miss how Google Lens can be your personal travel tour guide. A few featured notebooks for starters Right now, the collection of featured notebooks is somewhat limited, though it will grow as time goes on. There are currently eight notebooks for you to explore: Each notebook allows you to explore the original sources, view a mind map, and listen to a pre-made Audio Overview. That's in addition to the ability to ask questions based on the sources in the chat, which is NotebookLM's simplest and most obvious use case. Google has partnered with both The Economist and The Atlantic, so you can expect to see additional collections of notebooks on the way from these publications. Public notebooks made featured notebooks possible Last month, Google introduced the ability to mark your notebooks as public so you could share them with anyone you wanted to. Google said there have been over 140,000 public notebooks created. While that's a bit tough to assess without additional data points, the introduction of public notebooks paved the way for featured notebooks. Previously, your creations were available to you and only you, unless you'd upgraded to the premium version of NotebookLM. More features on the way We know of at least one more feature that NotebookLM will eventually offer, and that's Video Overviews. Audio Overviews are already great -- so much so that Google has added them to more of its products. The introduction of Video Overviews will definitely appeal to those who could easily tune out when listening to audio or are more visual learners. There's no specific date attached to their arrival, outside of the "coming soon" timeline Google provided in a blog post during the Google I/O conference in May. The AI- and web-focused tech site Testing Catalog has been ahead of the game when it comes to discovering new features or features that Google is testing for NotebookLM. Here's what else they've managed to spot that could be on the way. AI flashcards: You can already create study guides with NotebookLM, but a new feature that could be of great benefit to students is the ability to generate flashcards on the fly based on your content sources. Discover sources via Google Drive: NotebookLM lets you find new sources in the Discover Sources section. You type in what you're looking for, and it scour the web for relevant content. Soon, that search may extend to Google Drive. Interactive Quizzes: Google's making NotebookLM a go-to assistant for students, and it might add interactive quizzes based on your sources. Microsoft Word doc support: Right now, when you're trying to select a source from Google Drive, you can only choose between Google Docs or Google Slides. In the future, it appears that NotebookLM might gain support for adding Microsoft Word docs that are also in your Drive, too. For more, don't miss the 11 things you should stop using ChatGPT for right now.

The Galaxy Watch 8 Pissed Me Off, but I'd Still Recommend It
CNET's expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. The Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 needs to be kicked to the curb. I'm not expecting an Olympic endorsement deal anytime soon, but after 20 years of running (four half marathons, multiple 10K and 5Ks), I'd hope to graduate beyond "beginner." Not according to Samsung's latest watch. Either it's using a rigid set of criteria to assign training plans, or it's gaslighting me on purpose to tap into my competitive streak. Whatever the case, Running Coach left me questioning its usefulness and cast a gray cloud over my running experience. Something seemed off, so I checked in with Samsung and am still waiting to hear back. Running Coach aside, the $350 Galaxy Watch 8 ($50 more than last year's Galaxy Watch 7) gets a lot of other things right, and I still recommend it to anyone looking for a solid Wear OS smartwatch. One of the biggest surprises: Gemini. This is the first smartwatch to come with Google's AI assistant built in, and the voice assistant actually feels useful on the wrist. It's also one of the most comfortable watches I've ever worn (though not the most stylish). It has nearly every feature I could hope for, including a screen that's blindingly bright and new health sensors for more accurate health tracking. 8.2 / 10 SCORE Galaxy Watch 8 $350 at Samsung Pros Dual sizing options that fit well on smaller wrists Comfortable, lightweight design Gemini assistant is fast and genuinely helpful New health sensors offer more accurate insights Bright display is visible in direct sunlight Cons Price is $50 more than the Galaxy Watch 7 Squared frame isn't for everyone Health features require manual setup Running Coach accuracy is questionable so far Proprietary straps limit options from third parties 40mm model tops out at 30 hours battery life Galaxy Watch 8 8.2/10 CNET Score $350 at Samsung From feature-rich smart rings (Samsung's Galaxy Ring included) to budget smartwatches like the $80 Amazfit Bip 6, the competition for your health data is getting fierce. In a crowded landscape, Samsung positions the Galaxy Watch 8 as a high-end alternative with the goal of long-term success: slowing the hands of time, promoting healthy aging and delivering more meaningful measurements. The result is a mature smartwatch that goes above and beyond the basics, offering new metrics for cardiovascular health, a skin-based antioxidant index, improved bedtime guidance, and yes, a personal running coach that promises to get you "marathon-ready." I swear I'm not bitter. Most of these tools rely on Samsung's advanced BioActive sensor, which is available only on the Series 8 models (and the Ultra), and one of the main reasons why you'd consider upgrading. It's also worth noting that none of these features are medical-grade devices and therefore should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. After wearing the Galaxy Watch 8 for less than a week, some of the new features still feel like works in progress while others show real potential. Paired with a Galaxy phone, the Watch 8 feels like a confident, integrated health and fitness companion with a voice assistant that might actually talk you into keeping it on. The Galaxy Watch 8 is available now for preorder for a base price of $350 for the 40mm model, and $380 for the 44mm version. Add $50 more for LTE on either size. Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 starts with a 12-minute assessment to build your training plan. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 Running Coach As a longtime runner, I was genuinely excited about the new Running Coach — a virtual coach that would give me personalized training plans and real-time feedback to whip me back into racing shape. The setup involved filling out a brief questionnaire on my phone about my running and workout habits. Then it asked me to record my longest run in the last three months, which happened to be a 5K. I'm a no-frills runner; I usually have about 30 minutes to squeeze in a jog, which means getting out the door without searching for a headset or curating the perfect playlist. So the idea of needing headphones just to hear the Running Coach felt like a drag. A quick "turn up the volume to max" command to Gemini saved the day. Fortunately for me, the watch plays the prompts through its speaker, which, while not particularly loud, was loud enough for me to finish the assessment without headphones. The test started with a short warmup, then moved into intervals: a normal pace, an all-out sprint, then back to normal, followed by a cooldown to gauge how quickly my heart rate recovered. In total, it took about 14 minutes. The voice was definitely robotic — not exactly the tough-love human sounding coach I had imagined. Now Playing: Gemini on the Galaxy Watch 8 Made Me a Believer 02:58 I was still recovering from intense travel and a lingering ACL injury, so I wasn't expecting a gold star. But with an average pace of 9:45 per mile, I figured I'd at least score higher than level one. Being labeled a beginner and assigned a plan to "build up to a 5K" felt borderline insulting, especially considering I'd just told it that I'd already completed one. Looking closer at the plan, I saw it had me walking for 30 minutes during the first week, with a goal of running 0.93 miles in less than 10.5 minutes by week four. Both of which I'd already done during the initial assessment. Meanwhile, a colleague who isn't a runner and walked the entire test got the same training plan I did. That raised some serious questions. How "personalized" can this really be if two people with vastly different running backgrounds are given the exact same plan? For now, the experience has left me skeptical — and has definitely taken some shine off a feature I was really hoping to love. It's possible the coach will recalibrate my training plan as it gathers more running data, but it's also just as likely that Running Coach itself needs to step up its game with future updates. The Galaxy Watch 8 has a new BioActive sensor that unlocks advanced health metrics like vascular load and antioxidant levels. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 Antioxidant Index Samsung's new Antioxidant Index, which measures carotenoid levels in the skin, is arguably one of the most interesting features on the Galaxy Watch 8, and one of the most confusing. I didn't know much about antioxidants beyond a vague association with fruits and vegetables. So I had to go down multiple rabbit holes just to understand what exactly it was measuring in the first place. Carotenoids are one type of naturally occurring antioxidant, found in veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes and leafy greens. According to the National Institutes of Health, antioxidants help the body clear out potentially harmful free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules typically caused by stress, poor diet, smoking and pollution). When those free radicals build up over time, they create oxidative stress, which has been linked to long-term health issues like heart disease, cancer and premature aging. So, keeping healthy levels of antioxidants in your body is one of the keys to prevention. The Galaxy Watch 8, Classic and Ultra use new optical sensors to detect these carotenoid levels in your skin. It doesn't take the measurement from your wrist because, according to Samsung, there's too much interference from blood vessels and ambient light. Instead, the watch asks you to remove it and place your thumb on the sensor for a few seconds. After that, you get a score between 0 and 100, which falls into one of three categories: very low, low or adequate. The Antioxidant Index on the new Galaxy Watches. This was my score at the event using a demo unit that wasn't set to my data. Once back at home, I scored a "low" on my own device. Joseph Maldonado/CNET My first score was "low" (67/100). Not terrible, but also not great. Apparently, even a healthy diet can't offset the stress, sleep deprivation and general chaos of my overnight travel and a three-day product launch in a new city. To get more context, the watch connects you to the Health app on your phone. To improve my levels, it suggested I eat "half a pear today." Not a full pear. Not five blueberries. Half a pear. Going further down the rabbit hole will lead you to more background on what the feature does and generic advice about antioxidant-rich diets (leafy greens and sweet potatoes). It also mentions it can take up to two weeks of consistent habit changes to see a significant difference in your overall score, so chugging a green smoothie (or eating half a pear today) will do little to move the needle if I were to test the very next day. Samsung Health gives you some general insight into what your Antioxidant Index means, and how to improve it. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET Despite the initial learning curve, I have to step back and acknowledge how impressive this tech is. It's wild that a watch can estimate antioxidant levels using light-based sensors without requiring a lab or a blood test. That's no small feat. What the Galaxy Watch struggles with right now is translating that science into something meaningful. I wish it had at least a weekly reminder built in to use it. Maybe after a few months of consistent use, I'd start to see clearer trends and better correlations. But I think it'll be up to Samsung to make those connections easier to understand and easier to care about. But for now, I probably wouldn't buy this watch for this feature alone. The Galaxy Watch 8 comes in two sizes: 40mm (pictures) and 44mm. It also comes in a silver and graphite aluminum finish. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 design The Galaxy Watch 8 has a brand-new design that, for me, was definitely an acquired taste. At first glance, it looks like the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7 had a baby — and not the cute kind. The new squircle frame feels unnecessary, and without a bezel (rotating like the Watch 8 Classic or static like the Ultra), the transition from the squared-off frame to the circular screen feels abrupt, like it's missing a piece. That sharper transition also means the screen is more exposed, making it more vulnerable to bumps and drops. Then there's the band situation. Samsung has moved away from the universal strap system, swapping it for the proprietary lug system similar to what it introduced on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. That limits your options for watch bands, especially if you were hoping to bring your favorite third-party band along for the ride. But when you dig into the "why" of these design changes, they start to feel less like an arbitrary redesign and more like a calculated decision aimed at comfort and accuracy. The Galaxy Watch 8 is thinner, lighter, and less bulky than previous models. The 40mm version I tested is one of the most comfortable smartwatches I've worn. I usually dread wearing smartwatches to bed, and this one I almost forgot I had on. The squircle frame and lug system allow the strap to sit flush against my skin, reducing gaps and creating a snug, more secure fit. The squared off frame and new lug system (bands) allows the Galaxy Watch 8 to sit closer to the skin, making it more comfortable to wear and improving sensor accuracy. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Samsung says this tighter fit allows its sensors to work more effectively by minimizing interference from motion, sweat and outside light. What's clear is that Samsung is prioritizing precision over aesthetics, even if it means alienating longtime Galaxy Watch owners who value the classic circular design or easy strap-swapping. Personally, I don't wear a smartwatch for looks. While design matters, I'd rather have accurate, reliable health data and a better fit than a slick design that compromises on function. Galaxy Watch 8 and Gemini AI My history with voice assistants on smartwatches has been… rough. I've probably spent more time yelling at my wrist than actually getting anything done (looking at you, Bixby and Siri). But with Gemini, I'm officially a convert. The new Galaxy Watches are the first smartwatches to debut Google's Gemini AI assistant out of the box. Joseph Maldonado/CNET I've been hardwired to cater to voice assistant limitations, so speaking naturally was probably the hardest adjustment for me when using Google's Gemini. No awkward phrasing, long pauses or shouting required. What I got back was useful, bite-size summaries that were read aloud instead of just dumped as a string of links I'd never open on a watch screen. It's also smart enough to handle vague prompts and context. For example, I asked for "that famous bridge shot in Brooklyn that's all over social media," and Gemini immediately pulled up the right landmark. From there, I just said, "show me photos," and it displayed images of the bridge without having to repeat its name. A simple "take me there" command then brought up directions automatically. Gemini does require an internet connection to work (Wi-Fi or LTE), so Bluetooth-only watch users will need to have their phone nearby. It can even draft a text for you in a different language. The Galaxy Watch 8 runs on Wear OS 6 and Samsung's One UI 6 Watch, both of which bring welcome design changes. You'll find new action tiles, a cleaner interface, more watch faces and a refreshed Now Bar at the bottom of the screen for quickly jumping back into timers, workouts or anything else running in the background. Galaxy Watch 8 Bedtime Guidance The Galaxy Watch 8 has a new Bedtime Guidance tool that uses a three-day analysis of your circadian rhythm and sleep pressure (sleep debt you've accumulated) to recommend an ideal bedtime window. It factors in heart rate, HRV, skin temperature, and even environmental cues like room temperature or brightness. The goal: Improve your sleep quality, recovery and energy throughout the day. The Galaxy Watch 8 calculates your ideal bedtime window based on your past sleep patterns, circadian rhythm and accumulated sleep debt. Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET As someone who wasn't sold on the Galaxy Watch's original Sleep Coach feature (which felt more like a checklist of generic bedtime advice), I was skeptical about the new bedtime guidance. But this is one I'd actually consider sticking with. It's not that I don't know how many hours of sleep I should be getting, but hearing a science-backed reason for why I should go to bed at a specific time makes me more inclined to listen. In my case, the watch recommended 11 p.m. As I write this, it's currently 10:57 p.m., so I guess I'd better wrap up this review. It'll be interesting to see how my energy levels shift if I actually follow the guidance for a week. I could also see this being helpful for shift workers or anyone traveling across time zones who doesn't know how best to reset their sleep schedule. I'll report back in a longer-term review. The Galaxy Watch 8 has a slightly larger battery than last year's models, but I didn't notice a bump in usage time during my four days of testing. Joe Maldonado/CNET Galaxy Watch 8 battery and storage Let's set expectations: Just because the Galaxy Watch 8 looks like the Ultra doesn't mean it matches the Ultra's three-day battery life, it's not even close. Samsung says the Watch 8 has an 8% larger battery than the Watch 7: 325mAh vs. 300mAh on the 40mm model, and 435mAh versus 425mAh on the 44mm. In theory, the larger batteries paired with the efficiency gains coming with Wear OS 6 should mean at least a few extra hours of use compared with last year's models, but the reality is that all these new health and AI features offset any gains. In my six days of testing, I had to charge the Watch 8 four times, averaging about 30 hours on a single charge with all features turned on: always-on display, notifications, at least one GPS workout a day, and full night sleep tracking. That's right on par with what my former colleague Lexy Savvides reported in her Galaxy Watch 7 review from last year. How it would fare now running Gemini, is a question for another day, but worth considering if you happen to see a dip in your Galaxy Watch 7 after the Gemini update. The Watch 8 offered to switch to low power mode when it got to 15%, but I'm an all-or-nothing kind of gal, so I declined. The good news is that it recharged in just about an hour, which makes it less likely for me to forget on the charger as I'm running out the door. It's unclear whether the 44mm model or the Classic will give you noticeably more battery life, but if you want to go a full three days without recharging, the Ultra is still your best bet. The storage and processor also remain the same as last year's Watch 7 and Ultra, with 32GB (the Classic and Titanium Blue Ultra got bumped to 64GB of storage). All three models are powered by a five-core Exynos W1000 (processor) which handles everything smoothly, from general tasks to running Gemini, with zero complaints on speed or responsiveness. They also have the dual-frequency GPS using L1 and L5 bands that Samsung debuted on last year's models. The full Galaxy Watch 8 line-up: Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and the two sizes of the Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm and 40mm). Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Should you buy the Galaxy Watch 8? Calling the Galaxy Watch 8 an "ambitious" smartwatch feels a little cliché, but in this case, it actually fits. Sure, some of the features are still a work in progress, but they point to where Samsung is headed: turning these smartwatches into true health companions that will help bridge the gap between the doctor's office and your day-to-day. But not everyone needs all of these new features (at least not right now), and I wouldn't buy this watch for the health tools alone. Most people will be enticed by its more "boring" upgrades: it's brighter screen, lighter, more comfortable fit and a built-in AI assistant that finally makes wrist-based voice control feel useful instead of frustrating. Plus, the processing power and battery life to make it shine. If you already own a Galaxy Watch 7, you're probably OK skipping this upgrade cycle, unless you're drawn to the new shape or improved sensor accuracy. You'll still be getting many of the same software upgrades on older models, including Gemini and Bedtime Guidance. And if you prefer the freedom of universal watch bands, the Watch 7 may be a better buy for now. Having two Watch 8 size options (40mm and 44mm) is definitely a plus if you have smaller (6") wrists like me. But if you're leaning toward a larger face and miss the rotating bezel, you'll want to consider the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which I'll be reviewing soon too.
