Guys, serious question about Safari on iPhone: are you Top or Bottom?

[sniffies]

I’m curious to see how many of you are top and how many bottom.

Please vote.

I was previously top but in beta 6, they added the buttons back to the very bottom and I like the swipe feature to quickly navigate between tabs.

Top.

Bottom for Safari.

 

[Banglazed]

Bottom because it easier to reach and swipe to switch tabs

same. The new bottom is not perfect but solves some of the issues I had with navigation whilst keeping the new swipe gestures around. ios15 Safari is still a net downgrade to me though. I’m waiting to see how they’ll handle browser extensions on iOS, that might redeem it for me unless they have some BS restrictions on what can and cannot be installed.

Bottom, much easier to use. I miss the floating bar. Bringing the old top style into it, just feels like it's not as free as it was with the floating bar.

Depends on the website for me.

Bottom much easier to use…..

Safari bar on the bottom

I don't use Bookmarks, I use Favorites instead, because I need to see the favicons. Touching the address bar instantly brings up favorites, so I need the address bar to be as close to my finger as possible.
If they ever give us the option of putting a 'Return to Start Page' button on the toolbar, I won't care where the address bar is.

I would be Top but you can't swipe between tabs. Why?

 

[Jayson A]

I'm a top 😉

Bottom. I have a 12 Pro Max. It’s infinitely easier to use this way.

I haven’t tried the address bar on the bottom yet but I’m sure I’ll prefer it there. I didn’t like the new interface in the earlier betas, but the newest beta is exactly what I’m looking for.

Vers. Top if I’m drunk (muscle memory).

Once you get use to the bottom address bar, it’s hard to go back to the top bar.

I prefer the top due to tradition, but I have yet to learn how to put the address bar up there.

Press on AA in the address bar and change it to the top or bottom whenever you want.

Bottom. Easier to use.

Top

What's a Safari though

I am glad you prefaced the question with the fact it was about Safari on iPhone

Yeah, I feel the same way. It's one huge ugly block at the bottom now

Got it, thanks. Also you can go to Settings>Safari>under "Tabs" choose tab bar (bottom) or single tab (up).

I’m using iPad predominantly so I have no choice for “bottom”.
So I technically don’t care much about how Apple implements it.

Why does the bottom mode not allow the url bar to be hidden? I much prefer too since it shows content all the way to the edge of the display.
