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?
If you’re willing to jump through a hoop, it’s probably doable.
A lot of google services explicitly check if you’re using chrome before enabling certain features. This can be spoofed with a user-agent switcher. And Firefox for android supports extensions.
