I don’t think it is “forced”, just the new default (unless explicitly disabled in a view), which is nice to see. Additionally, I didn’t see much relevance to Play Store - it seemed to be a system-level thing.

It looks like they have no better way to monetize their site than to flood people with ads. So sad.
Ublock origin on Firefox works fine for me
Thank you Android Firefox.
Unfortunately I don’t have a better idea

Would you rather have a pay wall?
Yeah androidpolice quality really fell after the owner sold it unfortunately. Before it was a pretty great site for android news and Nexus (N6 owner here!) And pixel leaks but now is no better than a tabloid.
I’ve found Android Authority to be pretty decent. As a bonus, they have Rita!
OMG I didnt know Rita went to AA!, I really missed her in-depth reviews and her writing style back on the og android police, Thanks for letting me know (シ_ _)シ
That’s actually how I found AA. AP finally got shitty enough for me to bail a few months ago, so I googled to see where Rita went.
You can try 9to5google
Use ublock origin and bypass paywalls clean, I dont get this
And do they add the option to hide that gesture bar? Its useless, its for gestures just hide it.
I agree. Most custom ROMs already have such option.
how would you trigger circle to search?
You could just do it on a blank space I guess
What?
you press and hold the gesture bar to trigger circle to search
Thats a Google Android only thing.
the question still stands
On srock android it’s a vertical swipe up along the screen border
I have a Galaxy S24 with the gesture bar hidden. It lets me do circle to search by holding down where the gesture bar would be.
The same way you trigger text selection or screenshot. Just swipe up and hold, and it would be the 3rd option to the other 2.
Finally! I hate the extra padding that usually doesn’t follow the rest of the apps colour pallet and ends up looking half arsed.
That looks worse to me
I know some people won’t like this, but overall I think it is a cleaner look and also makes full use of the screen real estate available. Now it’s not like… 100% ideal from a usage standpoint, but I think it’s better than just having black bars are the top and bottom (or sides in landscape mode), as that just sorta defeats the point of an edge to edge display.
