IMHO it's definetly a hard break with the past design.
But it looks more mature and not as 'shy'.

Woah I was literally just commenting that I miss that expanded toolbar layout. Unfortunately that option isn't visible yet in my Nightly, but this indicates that it might not be gone forever, awesome!

Edit: Just enabled Secret Settings and now I have back my beloved toolbar! It's a bit chunkier than it used to be, but still neat.

Edit 2: ah, and no back/forward buttons, that's a shame. I'd prefer those over the bookmark button.

Yep, bookmark feels like something no one needs with any regularity.

In the Secret Settings it was named something like "Composable toolbar", so perhaps we'll get the ability to customise the contents later.

It's just because it's the toolbar rewritten in Jetpack Compose rather than the old one which was written with XML and used a custom parser.

Ah! That makes sense

Neat! seems I need to update!

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's also some new secret settings for the new toolbar.

Ah! That may be why I don't see it 😓
