Change behavior of middle bottom button when on a web page.
-
The middle bottom button has dual function at the moment. While on home page, tapping it activates address/search field. When a web page is displayed, it works as to "go to homepage" button. It would be nice (and more consistient) if it's function while on site was to start editing address of current site. Maybe make additional menu displayed after holding it for a while, containing buttons to copy or share link, like in chrome for android, and option to go to home page.
Current layout.
Proposed pop-up menu layout. It should pop up after the button marked on previous image is held for a moment

I agree, editing the address is much more useful than opening the homepage. I'd also remove the back/forward arrows as they are barely needed.
Maybe get inspiration from Brave, which has the following buttons:
- New tab/homepage (depends on whether homepage is enabled)
- Add a bookmark
- Focus address bar
- Tab list
- Overflow menu
-
This needs to be a thing ASAP. They should have a look at Brave's GUI and copy some of it's ideas.

I am not sure about this button, but the real current issue for me is that after pressing it, from a web page, and so resulting in the home page, it's not possible to tap "back" in order to return to the web page (the arrow button is disabled). So I have to go to history panel....
So this button is really like a "close tab" button?

@madiso I think these buttons should be customizable, like in desktop version of vivaldi or firefox.
