With tabs on the bottom of the screen, there's no tool bar
-
When you enable the tab bar on the bottom of the screen in iOS, the toolbar (which has the sidebar, back/forward, search and tab overview buttons) disappears. This had useful features, and it should be incorporated in somehow while the tab bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

That's an intentional behaviour though. AFAIK, it works like this on Android as well.
You can still access your bookmarks, reading list, history, and notes from the Vivaldi menu button.
Or, if you disable the tab bar, the bottom toolbar will return.
From the help page:
When you’ve moved the Address Bar to the bottom, there will be two toolbars at the bottom of the screen. In case you have the Tab Bar enabled, at the bottom of the screen, the Tab Bar will replace the bottom toolbar.
Imo, the biggest loss is that the back/forward buttons are not placed anywhere; you can only swipe left/right to go back/forwards in the history of a tab.

This is a big issue for me too. Love the tabs at the bottom but the lack of arrows to page back and forward makes it pretty much useless for me.

The swipe left\right is kinda broken on this Vivaldi website as it gets confused the menus that pop out when swiping left/right.
