Add Tap-to-Switch Tabs by Tapping the Edges

Description:
Currently, switching between tabs requires swiping the address bar, which isn’t always convenient, especially on larger screens. In Safari, for example, you can either swipe or tap the slightly visible edge of an adjacent tab to switch. I suggest adding this feature to your browser — it would speed up navigation and feel more intuitive for iOS users.

    MMMmm I'm not sure. Even on Safari, sometimes touching the edge of the location bar activates the refresh, for example. The swipe is more reliable. We will do some tests and possibly add it in the next version, thank you for your feedback.

      I’m personally not a fan of the vestigial address bar suggestion here.

      Overloading an existing interface element to behave in different ways depending on where it is on screen feels misleading, plus this would add clutter to screens that are already short on horizontal space.

      Perhaps this will be popular with the community, but swiping works fine for me.

        Hmm, very strange. I've always used pressing and I don't remember the refresh being activated.

            jcf You may have misunderstood my point, but you don't need to change the interface.

                Alteras Without changing the interface, the refresh button is really too close, I assure you, especially if you have big fingers or aging eyesight 🙂

                    Yannick Okay, if you have big fingers - you choose to swap. But if you can do it without missing and refreshing, you can tap!
