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?

    Bit out of scope of the post but do you recommend Microsoft launcher? I have a pixel as well and the google search bar on the bottom annoys me.

      I do recommend it. Offers a lot more customisation. The At a Glance is worlds more useful than Google’s news section and the Microsoft news is better).

      It lets you overhaul the whole layout. I replaced the Google search with a bing search widget which opens up in Firefox. Can also just put a Firefox widget if you prefer.

      So nice not having every search appear in a temporary window that disappears when I search a second thing. Even nicer not to have adverts on every search.
