"Let's put the back, forward, reload and share buttons so distant from the open menu button that it needs to move your hand."

My phone has a gesture for back and refresh, I've never used "share" (I just copy the URL from the bar), and I only very rarely use the forward option. To open a new tab, I hit the tabs and then the new tab button (at the bottom). I put the URL bar on the bottom so everything is pretty close.

I find it very economic.

Back forward and refresh buttons don’t belong in a “More options…” menu. They belong on the main view.

Theres only so much space. You would need a whole extra row

Before the update, they where in this menu, but the menu was a simple vertical one and these options where at the bottom.

Oh, I completely agree that they should be at the bottom. I think this design would be amazing if they moved the refresh and back/forward to the bottom

I definitely prefer quicker access to the controls even with reduced viewing area. I'm normally only going to be skimming things in my phone's browser so I'm going to be frequently using the controls.
