Is Chrome’s settings menu getting a search bar? What we know

Google is giving Chrome's three-dot menu a much-needed upgrade. The redesigned menu now includes a functional search box for quickly locating browser actions, bookmarks, and recent history. Google is also testing out a scrollbar, a pinned search field, a footer, and cleaner block-style menu sections in the latest Canary build. This redesign aims to make the menu more intuitive and easier to navigate.

Chrome's three-dot menu has long been a bit of a mystery, with settings often hidden deep within menus or buried under submenus. However, Google's latest efforts seem to be paying off, as the search box is now fully functional, allowing users to pull up matching browser commands, bookmarks, and recently visited websites as they type.

Although the redesign is still exclusive to Canary, there is no confirmed release date for a stable version just yet.
