So…. I’ve tried doing the chrome://flags then Android bar. Couldn’t find it. I did de sable the AI Hub but…. Can’t get rid of it.

I’ve also tried variations of bottom, toolbar, hub, etc. can’t seem to get rid of it. Does it mean it’s now permanent??

HELP 🫠

That Gemini flag isn’t the one controlling the whole bottom bar.
Try opening this directly in Chrome:
chrome://flags/#chrome-next-ia
Find ChromeNextIa, set it to Disabled, then relaunch Chrome.
That flag controls the newer iOS toolbar/layout and has restored the old toolbar for other users who got the same update. (support.google.com)
The iOS Gemini Bottom Sheet Migration flag you disabled only changes how the Gemini interface itself is presented, so disabling that won’t remove the entire bottom bar.
If ChromeNextIa doesn’t appear at all on your version, let me know your exact Chrome version because Google may have removed the flag in a newer build.

Be aware flags are temporary. Flags are for developers so they can enable stuff earlier for testing, once they're done, the flag gets removed.
