Note: Two of the customizations mentioned here are included in the latest Google Chrome 125 stable update. If you haven’t already, make sure to update to the latest version.

Previously, Google didn’t permit menu customization in Chrome for iOS. However, with the latest stable update, this feature is now available. Here’s how to customize it:

Step 1: Tap the three-dot menu at the bottom right corner and scroll down to find Customise Menu.

Step 2: Tap Customise Menu.

Step 3: Choose to remove and add different shortcuts to the Carousel. Tap Done.

Bonus Tip: You can now uncheck the option for the Smart Sort Menu Bar, so frequently used items won’t appear first.
