Bottom, it’s just easier

[–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I find that to be true but it bothers me while srolling.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's supposed to go away when scrolling down. It only pops up again if you're scrolling up, but then you'd be looking at the top of the screen anyway.

[–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know, that mechanic feels wrong to me. Can't really explain how.

Ah, the conflict of interests. It's okay, you can be a vers

Top. My desktop has the adress bar at the top so I want my phone to be the same

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

think of all the extra miles your finger has traveled over the course of the year

[–] weird_nugget@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Joke's on you: Those extra miles required extra energy so we're burning more calories a day than the bottoms.

[–] regalia@literature.cafe 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bottom. You guys hold your phone from the top?

Phone: bottom Tablet: top

So, uh, switch I guess?

[–] Sagethefolxhero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bottom for firefox, top for windows start bar. Switchhhh

Top. Always top. That's where all the tools I need for an application should be. Bottom area is for system tools.

It keeps things nicely separated, less risk of fat fingering something I don't want to hit.

[–] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 10 points 1 year ago

yeah, let's just put all the important tools in the hardest to reach spot on the screen

top makes sense on desktop, but on phones bottom is just logical. took way too long to get to it already because of the exact notion you expressed

My phone's to big. Bottom so my thumb can get to it.

[–] Bigfudge@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bottom obv i am not a barbarian

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bottom is so much easier. Also yes bottom

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Turns out I'm top, and you're bottom

So, uh...

top bottom is just unnatural the browser bar belongs at the top and anyone who puts it at the bottom should be put down like the dog they are

Bottom, it was the primary reason I switched to FF instead of chrome on my phone

[–] And009@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

True, and it has extensions too

Bottom only in bedroom

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Definitely the top, otherwise I am misclicking the tooolbar.

But also, I am mostly a landscape smartphone user. Which is why I'd prefer 16:9 instead of whatever the hell this wide thing is. But with bezels. You can hold onto a bezel with thumb. Also a separate navigation button like I had on my Moto G5s Plus 🥰.

[–] leekleak@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

Landscape

Phone

Top.

Bottom is just a workaround for poor mobile design.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

That’s a pretty tiny top.

[–] Metriximor@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn I just realized I'm a bottom and my gf is a top...

Top, although it takes more travel time for my thumb or index, depending on use case, it just feels more correct that way.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bottom, phones got too big and I want to be able to reach it with one hand.

I put it on top which makes me a bottom

[–] BlessedDog@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The bar belongs on the bottom

[–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Bottom, IMO, but also if you are a top person... you are just wrong.

Google Chrome for Android mobile used to have a bottom option and they removed it. I prefer the bottoms because that is where we naturally type on phones and it is where your thumb naturally lays. Phones are getting bigger so you have less to reach around for with it on the bottom.

[–] 257m@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't use bottom because for some reason phone manufacturers decided to remove physical home keys and just have virtual ones. Whenever I try to click or swipe at the bottom of my screen I end up hitting it.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no. Normally the onscreen buttons should not cover app content. What phone are you using?

I was a top, but then an update put it at the bottom and I haven't changed back yet.

[–] LatteWiiU@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago
[–] suny@literature.cafe 4 points 1 year ago

bottom :3

mobile firefox big succy though, tab behavior in is is fucking insane but no one seems to talk about it (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

According to this, top.
