AI Overview
I just tried this and it worked... My button is normally HIDDEN...
The home button in Google Chrome is hidden by default, but you can turn it on in your browser settings to make it appear near the top-left address bar. How to Turn on the Home Button - Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of Chrome.
- Select Settings from the menu.
- Click Appearance in the left-hand sidebar.
- Turn on the toggle for Show home button.
- Choose whether the button opens the New Tab page or a custom web address.

Hey Steve,,many Thanks for that quick response,,, I've been giving Google's AI bots a workout for several days now and I've gotten to that very same page and toggled the HOME button to "ON" but the friggin HOME button just will not make an appearance to the left of the top address bar where it was for many moons til I think it was APPLe that removed the button after one of their upgrades or some BS,,,!!! But WHY in the haides would they do such a STUPID thing like that,,,?? I'm considering dumping Google altogether and go back to FIREFOX as I just looked earlier and their home button still there,,,,!!

you must have a GLITCH Joe... it worked on on my computer.... Maybe you need to SHUT DOWN and RESTART ??? Do you have a "Home page stored ".... I dont use a home page.. I have several ICONS at the top in the BAR and i just click where i want to go... when im done, i just CLOSE GOOGLE.. Dont really use a HOME PAGE... guess you could STORE your Home Page as an ICON in the top BAR... then click on it to go back ?

I had FireFox for many moons and really don't remember WHY I went with Google and to make matters worse,,I'm now with the frigging chrome version,,,,? I do a lot of jumping around looking at several sites and the home button lets me go back and forth without having to close the page I'm on. When I want to open another site I have to close what or where I;m on and it always takes me to square one and I got to sign in and start all over,,,,!!! I just cannot figure WHY google would remove the frigging button and THEN,,,hide the sob where you have to have congressional approval to even find it ,,,let alone move it back,,,,WHY,,,WHY,,,WHY,,,,?? Google's AI bots just hate to see ole Joe coming as I been on their azz for several days to get my friggin HOME button but none of them have a clue how to do it,,They even got me searching in googles deepest and darkest files and still cannot get it back! Hard to believe the AI bots cannot get it back for me,,,mayhaps,,it on googles orders,,,?? lol

Well,,I finally gave up on google and their group of AI's as they were not able to locate my HOME button wherever google or apple or Chit,,maybe it was them AI folks that hid the dang home button. Anyways,,I downloaded FireFox and,,,and,,,,Right there is MY HOme Button,,,,!!! I did as ole Steve suggested and did a restart of my PC ,,,,Twice for good measure and after that,,The friggin button is still Missing In Action,,,!!! Just cannot figure this Chit out but google has hid it somewhere the AI bots cannot find it ,,,??? FireFox is GOOD,,,,!!

Thanks Steve. Even I was able to restore the home button on my computer. Glad to have it back. I use Google and sometimes Duck Duck Go.

joe has some kind of GLITCH and im not sure what it is... The home button, if needed, should be easy to add... Directions are simple.... something ODD going on with joes computer... i thought the REBOOT would fix it, but must be a deeper problem..... ELIMINATING Google Chrome and RELOAODING it might have been the last resort.
either that or like Joe said, he has PISSESD off the BOTS once too often and they got his NUMBER NOW !!
