      they already have that (the Back button), guess how effective it is

      I guess iphones don’t have it but nobody uses those anyway :P

          How would that be better than a soft-button or gesture that’s always available? (I use gestures, and it’s always possible to swipe from the side to go Back)

                You most certainly can! You are not wrong at all.

                On Android, you can alter things a lot more than on an iPhone though so you can very likely remap both to your liking if you’re tech savvy.

                In the early days of Android I completely revamped my UI with custom ROMS and a tool called Gravity Box. It was somewhat similar to Gestures except a menu would fan out from your thumb and you could do all sorts of shit from it.

      On Android there was until gestures, which works fine. You can also just completely close it, which is what I do when I see an ad 9/10 times anyways right before uninstalling it forever and finding something that doesn’t use shady ads.
