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?
I’ve moved from Chrome to Fennec, the Firefox-fork made by the developers of the F-Droid store.
Other than Firefox stable you have full support for addons/extension just like in the Desktop version, and it syncs perfectly with the good ol’ Desktop FF. Firefox nightly mobile did crash here or there or used extensive resources once in a while.
For the precious few websites that require a Chromium-based browser, I have Kiwi installed in parallel, which also supports all addons in the mobile version right from the chrome store.
