Thanks for this, your answer got buried beneath this very long political rant from another user. I got the width now. Is there a way to stop the top and bottom bars from appearing and reappearing from whenever I scroll up and down?

I have gone through all the settings several times, but there are just so many settings, I'm clearly missing the right ones.

As for you, what are you getting from this app specifically that you don't get from the other apps? I'm using jerboa and haven't had any issues since , so I'm just curious what the advantages of sync are according to its supporters.

Toggle these 3 on. Settings shortcut: General > Transparent status Settings shortcut: General > Autohide Toolbar Settings shortcut: General > Autohide bottom navigation

As for why I prefer Sync, I love the consistent Material You theming and animations, the advanced filters that allow you to filter posts per keywords, the QoL stuff like automatically removing AMP links and preloading posts and comments in case you lose your internet signal, the inline link previews in comments and posts, the endless customization, that yeah, can be overwhelmed but also very comprehensive, and the excellent support that the app recieves, constantly being updated with community requested features.

Yea, that does all sound great. Thanks very much, of course I missed that setting also.

Preloading is nice for sure, is there a setting to maximize the pre-loading or is it already said it a large enough thing to not worry about?

I'm going to go change that auto hide setting and give it a whirl

You can customize caching in data options, to use mobile data, WiFi only or never precache.

Settings shortcut: Settings > Data options
