      the bottom bar is wrong idea, stupid and inpractical... from old version with top bar it was much better

Putting the ability to move the tabs bar around is not demanding or unreasonable. Samsung Internet lets you move it's search bar up or down, with just one switch in the settings.

                      Why for some the top bar is white on white theme and for others is green?

In chats users prefer to stay on bottom to type easier it was difficult to touch top nav bar.
                          The important thing is all the screen isn't accessible by one hand and users have to choose just a specific area as main access.

While reaching bottom is impossible one hand. Not just it's impossible to bend thumb to more than 90 degrees, in this situation most of phone's mass happens to be outside of the palm. Little sudden move of finger and your phone will fall to the ground.
