@mib2berlin so what it does when it's disabled? I don't see the difference.

It doesn't work for me then on Xiaomi Redmi 4X. Isn't this some function of your phone or there's something wrong with mine?

@Gregor
I guess your one is a bit to old to support it, wich Android version are you running?
I will start my old Umidigi One with Android 8.1 for a test and report here.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin It's 7.1.2, but as I see there are other people having problem with this function

I don't think they all have so old phones. -

It does not work with my Android 8.1 cell phone but I am sure it was working with an older Vivaldi version.
Nobody in these thread report the Android version, except a Samsung tablet user and a Samsung Note 20 Ultra user.
I guess they never report it to the bug tracker.
As Vivaldi support Android 5 I would call it a bug.
If you need this report it to the bug tracker from you cell phone, the developer get information of your device automatically.https://help.vivaldi.com/article/report-a-bug-in-vivaldi-android/

@mib2berlin @Gregor Did boot up my old Samsung S7 currently running on Android Oreo. Was able to reproduce the issue. Switching off Always Show Controls is useless when it comes down to hiding Address Bar and Tab Bar in my old galaxy.
Confirm again: you mean that "auto hiding address bar" don't work on your phone?
@Aaron Yep that's the thing. Add that doesn't work in devices running old Android
It does not work with my Android 8.1 cell phone but I am sure it was working with an older Vivaldi version.
Not so sure about this but I'll rather recommend using a later version and miss out on a few unsupported features rather browsing through a old version
I guess they never report it to the bug tracker.
As Vivaldi support Android 5 I would call it a bug.I guess not since I highly doubt someone out there is still using a phone running on Android Nougat or Oreo (well majority doesn't and those who do aren't that much of a tech geek so they'll either not really notice the bug or just ignore it)

Hi, I don´t want to run older version of Vivaldi but if Vivaldi say minimum Android version is 5.1 in the app description they should support 5.1 or change the description.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin yep you can probably say that. I tried running YouTube on Vivaldi installed on my old device and quite very often upon entering full screen the browser go blank. And playing shorts is worse. The lower controls of YouTube player sometimes go outta screen. Login into Twitter just leaves you with a blank page which upon refreshing shows error. I didn't have any problem while running, it's a smooth experience but optimization of some sites is not upto what one would expect. Couldn't actually get the data about battery usage as my S7's battery is already ded. Will work until charger is plugged in. Charger out phone out.

Hi, Youtube is working on 8.1, I cant test Twitter.
They should simply add a note about issues < Android 9 or something.
I think it's good to report this as a bug, maybe a developer still has a 5.1 mobile phone.Cheers, mib

Yes, my address bar isn't auto hiding. I suppose it's this function:

@Gregor
I‘ve test on 3 phones. MI Max2(Android 7) and Royole FlexPai2(Android 10) is work nice.but S22 Ultra(Android 12) don't. -
Dear Vivaldi team, could you please add a simple "manual" full-screen mode?
There are websites that don't offer scroll functionality. E.g., I'd like to add the Remote Control Screen of an oscilloscope on an Android Tablet - there just is no option to scroll:
Only 77% of the screen height is usable like this on a Samsung Tab S7 FE.
(I also remembered that I had a similar issue with "regular" websites that don't offer scrolling or at least no scrolling in a normal way.)
