Bottom, it’s just easier

96
- I find that to be true but it bothers me while srolling.
  
  29
  
  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.
  
  17
  
  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

56
- think of all the extra miles your finger has traveled over the course of the year
  
  23
  
  Joke's on you: Those extra miles required extra energy so we're burning more calories a day than the bottoms.

Bottom. You guys hold your phone from the top?

37
- I hold mine upside down
  
  6
  
  And you reach your fingers up to the top when typing?
  
  2
  
  Ah easier that way
  
  1
- No but I can reach the top just fine, the bottom is just weird!

Phone: bottom Tablet: top

So, uh, switch I guess?

29
Bottom for firefox, top for windows start bar. Switchhhh

24
- idk why I do this also
  
  2
  
  I got my pc hooked up to a 4k tv like a normy, so it just works and looks better to have start up top but also having the browser bar up there is too much

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.

23
- 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
  
  9
- system tools
  
  Not if your phone has hardware buttons

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

18
Bottom obv i am not a barbarian

18
Bottom is so much easier. Also yes bottom

15
- Turns out I'm top, and you're bottom
  
  So, uh...

  Is Lemmy a match making site now?

Bottom :3

Top: phone, desktop and in the bedroom.

13
- what the actual fu
  
  2
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

- I agree with the placement of the toolbar. You may wanna cut your coffee intake just a bit. You seem a bit hyper on the trigger
  
  2
  
  I don't drink coffee it's disgusting yucky bitter tea and hot chocolate are far nicer
  
  3
Bottom only in bedroom

11
Bottom, it was the primary reason I switched to FF instead of chrome on my phone

11
- True, and it has extensions too

  Tehe.

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 🥰.

10
- Landscape
  
  Phone
  
  You're a monster

  Also permanently enabled Desktop mode on browser.
  
  But I also increased minimum width in developer settings from default 395dp to 705dp. 600dp and above is considered a tablet by apps. Fits so much content on 1 screen.

That’s a pretty tiny top.

Top.

Bottom is just a workaround for poor mobile design.

7
Damn I just realized I'm a bottom and my gf is a top...

7
- Well...

I put it on top which makes me a bottom

6
Top, although it takes more travel time for my thumb or index, depending on use case, it just feels more correct that way.

6
Bottom, phones got too big and I want to be able to reach it with one hand.

6
- Even so, I still prefer top.
  
  2
bottom : D

bottom :3

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

5
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.

Top

The bar belongs on the bottom

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.

5
- Oh no. Normally the onscreen buttons should not cover app content. What phone are you using?

bottom, i dont have to reach as far. I've got a 20:9 aspect ratio or something ridiculous like that, it's a pain to reacj

- Bottom placement didn’t help with your keyboard, apparently :P

  ight spelling is difficult ok

Bottom

Depends on my mood, so… vers?

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

Top

Power bottom

- Same. Toolbar is on the bottom but I use the phone upside down.
  
  2
According to this, top.

3
Don't use a toolbar

3
Gestures, so no toolbar on mobile

3
- But Where do you type in the URL
  
  2
Top for the address bar, bottom for ... uh...

2
Bottom because phones are way too big to comfortably reach the top at all.

2
- I would only use top on a <4" phone. Currently using a 2017 Samsung J530F with a 5.4" 16:9 screen (significantly lower than most made today)
  
  1
Huh. I guess there is a situation where I'm definitely a top. Probably just one though 😜🤷‍♀️

2
Bottom, although I'm trying Kiwi at the moment

2

2
- my first browser was android browser

Bottom. It's what makes Firefox stand out.

That’s a pretty tiny top

1
Bottom since the days of Windows Phone!

For mobile top because I keep accidentally pressing the home button with my hand and it's annoying.

And for PC on the top of course because anything else is illegal.
