Vivaldi released version 7.9 of its desktop browser on Wednesday, introducing a feature called UI Auto-hide that strips the entire browser interface from view while users read, watch, or work. The update also adds Follower Tab, a split-view browsing mode that keeps a source page anchored while links open beside it, and a set of improvements to the browser's built-in email client.

"UI Auto-hide lets me immerse myself in content in ways the Metaverse could only dream of," Haakon Rølmann, Vivaldi's head of marketing and communication, said in a press release. "Like most of the features we have launched, we are sure this will see knockoffs."
