Drop down menus have been a part of graphical computer interfaces since the beginning, but they aren't particularly easy to interact with on touchscreens. Google is working on getting rid of them with a few measures on Android, such as moving the password autofill dropdown to a bar on top of Gboard. But it looks like the company also wants to further reduce the number of dropdowns you come across when you surf the web in Chrome.
When you fill in data on certain websites, such as in the search bar of our sister site APK Mirror, your queries are saved to your browser and then offered as suggestions when you return later. Usually, a collection of these queries appears as a dropdown menu below the entry form, but now, a new variant has popped up for some people that moves the suggestions to a strip on top of the keyboard as part of a browser experiment.
