    Google got rid of the back button long ago and instituted a swipe gesture for it. I think this is bullshit.
    Swiping is too generic of a gesture used by too many programs. So many times I'm trying to exit an app and instead I'm archiving emails or dismissing notifications or changing the tab-in-view. None of those things are wanted, none of them were intentional or expected, and most of them can't be undone. It's fucking stupid. SYSTEM NAVIGATION SHOULD NOT BE THIS RISKY.

    It wasn't even a real button and they couldn't let us have it, ffs

      @RnDanger You can re-enable buttons on almost all android phones. Search for "system navigation".
