mustang7757-thanks for your response. I am already registered on Android Central. I'm afraid I don't know what Chrome flags settings are, so I am sure I haven't messed with them. Here is a screen shot of what I get when I open Chrome.

Welcome to the forums. What do you have selected in Chrome settings - Home page?

This is my selection.

I have "Enter custom Web address" selected with the URL to Google Advanced Search there.

What do you mean by "full size"? Do you mean that you want to see the full desktop version of the site?

Hi ,Where do you see this ?

The screenshot is from when I open Chrome on the Pixel, that's my homepage and it does not fill the screen, it only takes up about 2/3 of the screen. It shows that the right 1/3 of the screen is blank. I'm hoping to get my homepage to fill up the whole screen so my old eyes can see it better. N

So you searching custom web search maybe thsts the issue? When you do normal searches any problems?

Oh, now I understand what you mean. I set Advanced Search as homepage and it fills the whole screen (see screenshot). I wonder if your problem is caused by the accessibility settings that you have enabled. Is this problem only happening when you open the Advanced Search?

Also, have you already tried removing the Advanced Search link, select 'Chrome Homepage' and add the link back?

And just to be sure, this is the link you're using, right?

https://www.google.com/advanced_search

Yes, Javi, the link you provided is the one I'm using as my homepage. I switched to the Chrome homepage, as you suggested, and it is filling the screen, like I want my Google Advance Search homepage to do. I don't think I've touched my Accessibility settings yet on this phone. I will be back tomorrow to work on this, in the meantime, I must say "good night". Thank you, I'll tty tomorrow.

This icon in your screenshot usually means that the Accessibility Menu (or any similar option) is enabled.

Also, which options do you have in Chrome settings - Accessibility?
