Customize mobile navigation bar

I hate the new layout for mobile, particularly the navigation bar at the bottom, which is now filled with a bunch of buttons that I don’t want and will never use, such as “create new file”, “switch tabs”, and “other options” which essentially contains all the other buttons, a second time. Can I please edit my own navigation bar so that I don’t have all these extraneous buttons clogging up the already very small area?

I’d love to replace the “new tab” button with one for the command palette. I don’t use tabs much on my phone anymore, and when I do, I don’t add new ones so often that I need a dedicated button outside the tabs overview.

I agree. I am glad that I’m not alone!

Agreed! I would like to be able to remove some buttons also.

I often press new tab by accident when I try to reach the quick switcher button that is far to the left now.

I would love this too! Removing the new tab button would be great, and I might want to add buttons down there in the future or change the order. Quiche browser has amazing built in customization so that would be a good model to base it off of

:plus:

The “+” or new tab is indeed useless, because you can and should manage notes with the tab button (on the right side of “+”) displaying the number of open tabs.

:heavy_equals_sign:

The menu button instead, is necessary for plugins adding their shortcuts (items inside the “left ribbon” on desktop)

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left:

The loupe button instead, is a quick opener - not bad at all, imo.

Finally, to go back and forth between recently modified tabs is not bad either, but could be removed, however I’m not sure if removing these arrows is a good idea

You could try to install my theme called Dune to improve your experience on phone, as it adds lots of features, not just “colors”.
