If it doesn't really matter... why is it terrible?


The 'new' toolbar is higher than the black one, taking up more space, every site seems to transition to those sticking toolbars that do not go away when I scroll down. It's not about content anymore, it's about navigation and sharing. The toolbars from 10 years ago you could actually deinstall, this one unavoidable.

And this 'save a click' argument is just silly. Hover still means you have to target two points.

What's is funny though, the Google-bar at the bottom would at least make sense on a chromebook, but at the top they always suck, because contrary to an OS taskbar, they don't provide an invinite mouse target because of the Tab-bar.

It takes less space, since it also includes the search box.
