I think they were about to address this once the full android update was released... I think the brightness and the control switches was going to be one of the big things refreshed? And they were delaying the full release because of the whole Pixel drivers enshittification by Google.

Oh that's nice
It's been like that since a couple of major android versions I believe so yeah, and google not really caring for AOSP doesn't really give me a lot of hope

This is about the quick settings. But now I can't find mentions about the brightness slider...maybe that wasn't added?
If you swipe down from the top using two fingers it takes you directly to the settings drawer.
It's a pain as the finger placement is really important. I fail most of the time and frankly I'm too lazy to change my grip to use two fingers
Two thumbs
Somehow I never thought of it. I guess I often lay on my side
i can do with one thumb i just swipe frim the bezzel
