You can enable the bottom toolbar in brave and it makes up for not having the address bar itself at the bottom.

Would like to bump this. I'm moving from iOS to android and I was surprised to see this isn't an option given that Android is more customizable in general.

I got used to it. Leave it open for others. The toolbar is enough for me.

In 2024 this should be a must since Smartphone Display are increasing year after year.

Enabling the toolbar really helps. 😃

The toolbar definitely does help, but I still prefer the whole address bar being on the bottom. I've switched to the Samsung Browser for this reason.
