@zak75 said in Hide the bottom navigation bar:
Vivaldi already has the option to hide the phone's status bar. It would be nice if we also had the option to hide the phone's navigation bar. This would free up valuable screen space, especially with tablets. This has been done to good effect on Xodo Pdf Viewer, for example.
Hi Zalex108, please could you reinstate my feature request, as it is not the same as this one. I'm would like the option to hide the phone's navigation bar, not Vivaldi's navigation bar. Thanks.

Bottom bar is useful especially using with one hand, because your thumb doesnt need to go up to the top menu to do all stuff. What we need is customizable bottom bar, including toggling it on/off, and option to customize button layout like in samsung browser, so if users wish to use the bottom bar they can re-locate the buttons as they want, and if users dont wish to use they can just turn it off.

I would add that on smartphones with a narrow screen in portrait mode, the lower control panel is simply necessary. I strongly disagree with those who demand that it simply be removed.
But I also disagree with those who demand adding a bunch of customizations to it, because it doesn't always work correctly as it is. Complicating the logic of operation will add bugs.
From my point of view, for now it is better to refine the existing buttons and functions to make them easier to use. This applies to the long tap back and forward buttons, the selection of pages from the history there is shown in too big a font and holds too little information to be easy to navigate. This applies to the history view - you could add the date/time pages were visited, and put recently closed tabs there as well. And so on.
In shorts, don't touch the bottom panel in 2024! But, please, try to carefully improve what is already working and, please, not make new bugs.

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.

"#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.
