Google has added a back button to the top row of the three-dot menu in Chrome for Android version 150, according to Android Police. The update is rolling out to users with automatic updates enabled and can also be installed manually through the Google Play Store.

The back button appears to the left of the forward button, the favorite button, the download button, and the reload button. The addition brings Chrome for Android closer to the desktop experience and matches functionality that Chrome for iOS has offered for some time.
