It must be the way I hold my phone or something but it's never stuff at the top of the screen that gives me trouble. It's stuff on the left side of the screen. Things on the left are such a pain to reach I actually use my second (left) hand when I need to do work that requires even semi-frequent access to elements on the far left. If I try to use my right thumb, almost always a part of my hand will touch the screen as well, either triggering its own click or just making it so no click is triggered.
I forget which browser it is that lets you move its thinset to the bottom, but I tried it for awhile. It didn't make the far left easier, but broke my muscle memory, so in switched back.
These ergonomics issues are highly individualized as to what the best position and movement is. Vivaldi, in keeping with its design philosophy, should definitely provide a setting for toolbar placement. I would actually like to see the sides be an option as well. Not only would that make the entire toolbar easy for me to access, it would also benefit from the extra space and could hold everything in one bar immediately available with a single touch.
Definitely agree with "should definitely provide a setting for toolbar placement". For lefties like me, the Vivaldi button and New Tab buttons are in the worst place imaginable: At the very top right of the screen. Because of the way I hold my phone I can't reach the top fifth of the screen without changing my grip. And then reaching over to the right side on top of that? Ain't happening.
Bottom right would be workable (I can reach that if I change my grip on the phone), but bottom left would be the best location. I don't think I've ever used the panels (bookmarks, history, etc.) on my phone during the year I've used Vivaldi's app, so moving that to the right side wouldn't be a problem (for me).
So an option to move the tab bar and address bar down would be a nice start, but there's not going to be true happiness from me until we can at least choose to "mirror" the toolbars for better left-handed access.
I second this! Even rearranging the buttons so they're clustered in the center would be far better than having the new tab button at the far right
