Did Google ever say why it killed the bottom address bar in Chrome? (And what's your fave browser?) - eviltoast

Because damn that’s annoying. With phones being massive now, it makes little sense to make us reach up to the top of the screen to swipe between tabs. Do all their chrome devs just have super long fingers…?

I tried switching to Firefox, which has the URL box at the bottom, but the lack of tab grouping (not the same thing as Firefox’s tab collections) is really annoying. I’ve come to love that feature in Chrome!

So, next question… What’s your fave browser on Android, and how well does it handle syncing with the desktop?

    hate the fact that chrome killed the bottom address bar.

    i use vivaldi and it covers all the bases (and a lot more, heck it even has its own Mastodon server)

      At this point, I just can’t do without Stacks, Tile view, Sessions and Work Spaces. The build-in Periodic Reload is also great, but by far, the most incredible feature is that you can customize your right-click menues however you like. I also have a lot of Command Chains set up in the Quick Command bar.

      The amount of stuff that you can customize in Vivaldi has been without parallel for me.
