I agree 100%! I wouldn't mind the new menu and redesign quite so much if two things at least could be fixed.1. The three dots to get to the settings menu are in the upper right hand corner, yet the menu itself opens on the bottom. This is cumbersome ...
Here's a screenshot of the extension I mentioned earlier. Notice the buttons at the bottom, which are all completely customizable. This is just how I have it set up.
Another thought here. It doesn't fix everything in this messed up new menu, but the extension "essential homepage" has a proper back and forward button right at the bottom where it's supposed to be, plus a ton of other actions you can add if you wish...
I wonder if we could install a previous version via apk? I also had updates turned off, but stupidly turned them back on because nothing bad ever happened. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say...!!
