Enabling a Custom Home Button Using Chrome Extensions
You can also use a third-party Chrome extension to customize the behavior of the Home button. Other Chrome extensions use a custom Home button to activate other behaviors.

Customizing Google Chrome
Using the steps above, you can quickly show the Home button in Chrome or set up a custom Home button using a third-party extension. If this isn’t a good option, you can set up keyboard shortcuts to open Chrome bookmarks to quickly access your favorite websites. It’s also possible to use Chrome to easily search for content on websites. You can customize Chrome further by setting it up to remember tabs when you exit or by setting up a custom search engine.
