i accidentally pressed post so text is here,

the first one is new one and second one is old one

i personally prefer the old one

some people who used top address bar may find new one more comfortable but i think the old one made lot of sense when using bottom address bar

back and forward button which is the most frequently used button is easily accessible with right hand

also since menu names are close to where you press

you don't have to look across the screen

also spacings are almost uniform which makes navigating easier

also my current phone's screen is quite big

i don't think it needs to block more than half the screen for menu

I was able to get back to the old menu

Settings > Data collection > Install and run studies, and remove the point about the menu there.

I guess this won't stay there forever/the redesign will become default, but maybe they keep it if enough people want to keep the old one.

I also like the old one much better, I dispose the trend for 'cleaner' UIs where I have to navigate and click through submenus to find an option that was available on first sight before.
