How to hide Navigation bar and Tab/Addresss bar?

Giresharu

I wanted to be able to hide the bottom navigation bar, and the top tab/address bar when I swipe down (like edge), which take up so much space that I only have a small area to read the content of the page.
Is this possible?
If not, then is there a way to hide them permanently?

Hi,
For Vivaldi Address/Tabs at bottom:

~~Enable | Hide While scrolling~~
Disable | Show toolbars while scrolling

It's already disabled, maybe its a bug.

Hi, Vivaldi need some hight of the page, this thread is not hight enough to trigger it reliable.
If you open https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/95408/friday-snapshot-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-3271-35 in Edge it does not trigger the scrolling, it take some time until it work.
I will ask in the developer chat if this could be a bug or maybe making trigger it faster/better.

Cheers, mib

Hi, I tried opening the link in both Edge as well as Vivaldi and swiped to see the effect, here is the gif I recorded:

Vivaldi 6.5.3217.122 on Android 14; RMX3700

Edge on same device

Do I need to give feedback on this bug somewhere?

Yes, please report this to the bug tracker, you could add the gif's to the report.
I can confirm it internally but I cant confirm my own reports and your gif's are nice to show what happen.

Once that is done, please share the bug number (beginning with VAB-). Thanks.

When I submitted a bug report, the network fluctuated, and from the information I received in my mailbox, it seemed that the page was stuck and I clicked submit multiple times Sorry

VAB-8768 VAB-8769

Both were submitted by me, maybe one will be deleted.

Hi and thanks, an older report VAB-7345 was reopened.
No idea if this happen because of my chat report.
I will check yours and have to delete or mark/link them as duplicate of the older one.

Cheers, mib
EDIT: A developer already done this for us.
