I know this feature request is six months old but I want to add another plug for the feature. The Firefox iOS app just implemented this option in their latest release. Really helps with navigation while web browsing.
Posting a quick design idea for the bottom adressbar (see attached images). Originally posted on reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/u3pfph/my_take_on_bottom_placed_adressbar_on_brave_ios/i4qosq2/?context=3 )
Thank you :)
It was a weird transition at first when Safari moved the address bar to the bottom, but it turned out to be a wonderful change that made the controls more reachable, especially in one-handed operation. I think replicating the iOS interface as much as possible would be a nice improvement here.
Good news: the bottom toolbar is ready and can be tested in public beta :) build number 1.44 (22.9.27.21)
You can use this link to give it a try https://testflight.apple.com/join/Trcbh1o3 The feature should go live early next next month
@iccub thanks, looks good so far. Would it be possible to get the swipe feature similar to safari where I can swipe up to go into the tab switcher? Or possible to also include tab hider when not touching the omnibox?
@gh0sti If you swipe up on the URL bar it will already bring up the tab switcher, there is just no interactive aspect to it. Not sure what you mean by tab hider.

so that makes it easy to move into tab switcher. However when you want tabs shown above omnibox in portrait mode they take up some screen realestate. Is there a way to allow for tabs in portrait mode but to hide/unhide them when you want to see open tabs on a webpage above the omnibox?
hi @gh0sti maybe you can show us what do you mean? post a screenshot or a short recording we are pretty close to what Safari currently offers
