Vivaldi 7.9 Launches Auto-Hide UI and Follower Tab for Elite Browsing

Vivaldi has unveiled version 7.9 of its desktop browser, rolling out a suite of productivity-focused upgrades designed to strip away digital clutter and sharpen focus. The centerpiece is UI Auto-hide, a new feature that vanishes the entire browser interface—tabs, address bar, toolbars, and status indicators—leaving only your content visible. Reactivating the UI is instantaneous: simply nudge the cursor to any edge of the window and everything reappears. Users can toggle the feature via Command-F10 or a status bar icon, and fine-tune it to hide specific elements under Settings → Appearance → UI Auto-hide.
