I enjoyed that brief Android Chrome experiment where the browser supported moving the address bar to the bottom. Now that feature has been made available on iOS, but remains AWOL on Android.

Depending on what I'm doing I may have to tap it several times. And I don't like needing to move my hands around my phone to reach the top of the screen.

So many apps feature some sort of bottom nav bar anyway these days, and with the tiniest amount of scrolling it's out of sight and out of mind.

Oh I missed a bit on the page and want to scroll back up? Why would I want the address bar to pop up first over the text that's there!

I'm speaking a bit hyperbolically of course, though I genuinely see no benefit in the address bar being at the top. (Also Firefox all the way baybeee)
