As of April 2021, it\u2019s enabled by default for some people, but not others. Here\u2019s how to turn it on or off.<\/p>\n<p>To add or remove the down-arrow icon from the tab search feature, you must enable or disable it from Chrome\u2019s flags page. This works for Chrome on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, open Chrome on your computer. Type the following text into the address bar at the top of the browser window and hit \u201cEnter\u201d:<\/p>\n<pre>chrome:\/\/flags<\/pre>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/open-chrome-flags.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Chrome's address bar\" width=\"650\" height=\"232\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re now in Chrome\u2019s flags menu, which hosts all of Chrome\u2019s experimental features.
