Settings--Show Tab Strip--toggle missing on tablet (v3.0)
-
On my phone, the top settings page has a "Show Tab Strip" boolean toggle, which I switch off to save space. On the same version (3.0.1885.42) of Android Vivaldi on a tablet, this option does not appear. Can it?
I looked in vivaldi://flags to see if there is some tweak that can be applied; didn't find anything.
The tablet is nominally an 18cm display, while the phone is 14cm. Perhaps the display size (or resolution), or identification by the devices as being either tablet or phone affects which options are presented in settings.
Just because one is a tablet does not mean display space is at any less of a premium on a handheld device...

@mmhere Hey there. It seems like that bug is still there on a Tablet. Have you found a way around it? My tablet is 8" so that space is prime estate for me.

Original poster had a 7" tablet.
I always figured they should have some sort of "Portrait only" setting on the smaller tablets - when the tablet has the longer dimension vertical the tab strip doesn't take up that much room. But when the shorter dimension is vertical space is at a premium and they should just hide the tab bar.
Unfortunately the developers say the current behavior is by design and thus not a bug - you need to file a feature request here.

Gee, I thought I said that - though in a more friendly way.
