please i am Begging you let me put the forward/backward buttons on the search bar why do i have to open a separate menu to do this

ability to Choose what gestures do (for example, swiping on the search bar in either direction to navigate history rather than tabs) would also be acceptable, if slightly less convenient (as i suspect something like that would only allow moving forward/back one page at a time, as opposed to simply press-and-holding to pull up all your options to jump to)

i am losing my mind a little bit here i don't understand why it has to be so roundabout

Hi

Please appreciate there is limited space available in the toolbar of an app for a mobile device and that you can move back a page using swipe in modern versions of Android.

i would be more inclined to take this as a reasonable explanation if i hadn't used the ios version before, which *does* manage to have forward and back buttons visible at the same time as the search bar - on a device with a significantly smaller screen.

i am fully aware i can move back one page through gestures. however, i cannot move *forward* via an analogous gesture, which is a function i have cause to use very nearly as often, and i cannot navigate through multiple pages at a time. which, again, i *have historically had access to* on a device that had less room to spare.
