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

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 15 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 5 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 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bottom. You guys hold your phone from the top?

Phone: bottom Tablet: top

So, uh, switch I guess?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 4 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

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

system tools

Not if your phone has hardware buttons

Bottom for firefox, top for windows start bar. Switchhhh

Bottom obv i am not a barbarian

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bottom is so much easier. Also yes bottom

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

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

So, uh...

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is Lemmy a match making site now?

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point

It isn't

I'm honestly just lonely, slightly horny and very confused about who I am

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

Yeah, true. Best thing you can do is pretend, until you don't have to pretend anymore. One could say fake it, til you make it.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like you guys, gals and nonbinary pals, you're all so understanding and nice here.

Let me just virtually hug you real quick, if you have nothing against it.

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

I'm fine with it. Come here ~

[–] hj01bg@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] And009@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, and it has extensions too

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Top: phone, desktop and in the bedroom.

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

what the actual fu

[–] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 only in bedroom

[–] Metriximor@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

I put it on top which makes me a bottom

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 🥰.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

That’s a pretty tiny top.

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

Top.

Bottom is just a workaround for poor mobile design.

[–] LatteWiiU@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago
[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

Gestures, so no toolbar on mobile

[–] linad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same. Toolbar is on the bottom but I use the phone upside down.

[–] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago
[–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 3 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.

[–] suny@literature.cafe 2 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 (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

[–] mounderfod@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Top for the address bar, bottom for ... uh...

[–] strawberry@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

That’s a pretty tiny top

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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