@Vivaldi Happy release day! 🥳

Version 7.9 is a brilliant update with a lot of quality of life enhancements. You've done a great job!

@Vivaldi Hey, I've been meaning to give you feedback on the tab file display thingy. I don't use it at home, but I love it for work. I manage databases, and this feature made my life so much easier. Oh, and the screenshot thingy is great, too.

@Vivaldi I instantly updated to 7.9 and I already love UI auto-hide!

May I suggest to go even further where no browser has been and add an option to automatically open Reader View when entering UI auto-hide?

@Vivaldi thanks a lot for the mail update! For a moment I had feared I was the only user of the mail manager

So many awesome features! Thank you for this release @Vivaldi ️

@Vivaldi F4 seems to be not working in autohide mode.

[mistonas@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi based on chrome. No thank you.

[vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net]

@Agonio I use it too, so there's at least two of us hehe

[vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net]

@DerEntspannende That's achievable! You just need to go to Settings > Quick Commands > Command chains and create a new chains with two actions. The first one should be "toggle UI Auto-hide" and the second one "toggle reader view". Give it a name and then go to Keyboard Shortcuts and create a custom shortcut for the chain.

Use that shortcut and you'll trigger both UI-Auto hide and reader view at the same time.

@Mistonas based on Chromium (not the same), but that's ofc a valid choice

[derentspannende@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi Thanks! I'll give it a try.

@Vivaldi This is a great update, but could you please fix the printing problem on LInux?

[lemmus@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi Follower tabs are a game changer for handling super annoying infinite scroll pages.

[matthewkoons@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi Love the new update! The UI auto hide is a game changer. Less is more! Love how this browser not only outdoes itself, but its developers LISTEN to the masses with suggestions, etc.

Bravo!

@Vivaldi the auto hide feature will be a big help on my laptop, where screen real estate is at a premium.

I decided to try your mail program again, and I can't even get my old Hotmail account to have the OAuth window to pop up. Guess I'm going to stick with Thunderbird.

@Vivaldi When will the new version come to IOS as its not here yet?

[jerrej@mastodon.social]

@Agonio @Vivaldi

Last time I tried the mail feature and connected it to my locally hosted (literally localhost) IMAP, it apparently tried to download/index/parse every last one of the many hundreds of thousamds of my stored e-mails, instead of just getting IMAP folders and message headers. I seem to recall I had to `kill -9` it to regain control of the system. Might this have changed recently?

@Ruston Mobile versions are usually released a week later. Don’t worry: they will come soon!
