Google could borrow Samsung's ideas for the Android taskbar

Sooner or later, they will. They always do.
Absolutely insane how Google was light years ahead of Samsung's Touchwiz but are now borrowing ideas from them
- Didn't a large number of ideas come from Samsung, like split screen for example?
  
  That's one of them, yep. Another one IIRC is a volume warning when setting it too high
  But in fairness to Google, Samsung copied them (and Apple) when they yeeted the headphone jack /s
I do really like the way the taskbar is implemented on my Tab S8. A held press causes it to disappear or reappear. Several configurable slots, and also possible to use folders. Two recent apps shown to the right. A quick shortcut to the apps list. Apps can be dragged into splitscreen view from the taskbar. It works better than windows taskbar honestly! Only downside is I need to use the official launcher.
