I noticed that although Fenix has the bar at the bottom, it's making the exact same mistake as "Chrome Home": it has a swipe up gesture. Not only does this make scrolling down a frustrating experience (users will accidentally swipe up Fenix's options), but Android now has a swipe-up gesture for going to the home screen, just like newer iPhones, and you'll have a a situation where people will end up on the home screen when the meant to swipe-up Fenix's options and vice versa. Lastly, surely Androids guidelines say apps should avoid having a swipe-up from the bottom gesture because of this issue, so Fenix would be going against Androids guidelines...
If you have a moment, please read this issue on Chrome Home https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=726437

If you really want address bar on bottom, use Firefox Preview. Old Firefox for Android won't receive this option.

Firefox Preview does have the toolbar on the bottom but amazingly, they also included the frustrating swipe-up behavior that ruined Chrome Home. I filed this in on Fenix's github but they seem to have dismissed it, even though iOS and Android guidelines say you should not do this. Swipe-up from bottom is a system gesture (and even for those that opt for the traditional 3 button layout, the swipe-up behavior of Fenix and Chrome Home is still a horrible user experience, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=726437 )
