Solved Allow toggling (or remove) the bottom bar

[rogelico]

Home, forward, backward buttons are useless in 2024, please let us combine all navigation features in top address bar

+1. This unhideable bottom toolbar annoys me, too.
After implementing this request (or even better: provide an option to merge urlbar with this toolbar and displaying them at top) Vivaldi would become the best browser on Android. (Firefox is good but it has a very annoying UI, and most cool features of Vivaldi are missing from Chrome.)

@DominateEye the only thing keeping me from using the browser

The panels button is redundant, because from the menu you can access Downloads, History, bookmarks and translator. So Panels just takes up unnecessary space.

It's on its way.

"#vivaldi on #android is almost good. Almost.
You can't hide the bottom bar. And it's annoying.
It's in your face all the time.
Once this is out the way, I'll probably switch to it as my main browser on android.
...
It hides when you scroll but the threshold is too small and it's pretty useful for managing tabs, but it would still be better if it disappeared and the address bar moved to bottom instead, which is possible.
The bottom bar, if at all should only appear when scrolled to position top 0px."

They don't have a Vivaldi account, so I took the liberty to quote here what was said and do an upvote for the feature request in their place.

@WildEnte
I don't understand. After all, this function is already working in android/Snap and you can put a “solved” mark.

Or does the person want to suggest immersive mode when the omnibox is bottom? So that the omnibox only shows up when the page is scrolled all the way to the top?

@far4 just relaying the message.

The ability to hide the bottom navigation bar has been implemented in Vivaldi 7.2.
