You can add buttons to Google Chrome’s toolbar for various built-in features and tools, such as the password manager, search for Google Lens, translate, reading mode, developer tools, send to devices, reading list, and more. This makes accessing these tools, actions, and features much easier by eliminating the need to open the options menu or the settings tab. For example, if you often clear your browsing history or print documents, you can add those buttons to the toolbar for quick and easy access.
