Android's browser way back when (c. 2011?) had an amazing option for this; you'd swipe from the edge and a radial menu would appear where your finger was. Could do everything from back, forward, refresh, to opening the url bar, to switching tabs, and even saving and navigating bookmarks.
Honestly it's the still pinnacle of cute and clever UX for me.
Edit: Found it~ It was Settings > Labs > Quick Controls https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/android-browser-popup-menu2.jpg https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/0...

- smacktoward 7y agoRadial menus are underappreciated in general. I used to use an extension for Firefox that provided access to most common browser controls (Back, Forward, Reload, etc.) via a radial menu, and found it made my browsing experience feel much quicker and more fluent.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoThere are custom ROMs that will do this (replacing the navbar), too. Actually now that I'm thinking about it I think there used to be an app that would provide it even on a ROM that didn't support it, although I think that required root access still.
