@burbuja it is alredy possible:
set chrome://flags/#overlay-scrollbars
to: enable

@burbuja It's not the same as Opera 12.18, which hides the scrollbars permanently.

I will have to try overlay scrollbars for a while to see if I can get used to it.

Try it on this page where I have set scrollbars to show on long text frames. The text frame scroll bars to not hide in Opera, but they did in Vivaldi if the overlay setting is enabled.

I found that the problem of missing horizontal scrollbars can solved by holding Shift while turning the scroll-wheel.

@pesala yes, I know, it is not exactly the same, but at least this, for now.

@pesala If I remember right, it was possible to hide scrollbars in version Opera 3.x, which was the first one I installed Trial of 30 days. I started to use Opera with 7.0

I would like it if you could hide only the ugly horizontal scrollbar, I hate them. On certain websites you will always get to see them even on higher resolutions. For example on the Microsoft blog and on Yahoo Finance.

What was this supposed to do? And I can't find it anymore.

Never mind, it's indeed removed and I already found what this flag did, you would still get to see tiny scrollbars.

find the Vivaldi desktop icon, edit the properties/destination path adding the parameter --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar like this
"C:\Program Files\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe" --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar
it still works for me despite not being in the chrome settings
