There are a few ways you can open a new window in Vivaldi, For example, by clicking a button on the Tab Bar, from the File menu, through Quick Commands, etc. One of the more common ways to open a new window, though, is to use Keyboard Shortcuts.
Ctrl + N on Windows and Linux, and ⌘ N on macOS.Ctrl + Shift + N on Windows and Linux, and ⌘ Shift N on macOS.Not everyone needs to be able to keep track of what we post on social media. That’s why in Vivaldi Social you have the power to decide, who is able to follow your account.
To enable manual follow approvals:
Then every time someone wants to follow you, you’ll get a notification and you can either approve or decline their follow request.
The desktop-like Tab Bar in Vivaldi on Android comes with a desktop-like option to reorder your open tabs with drag and drop. The only difference is that instead of a mouse you need to use your finger or stylus pen to do it.
To reorder tabs on the Tab Bar:
Especially useful with Vivaldi Calendar’s Minimal View, but handy in all views, event property icons for links, location, reminders and recurrence let you know at a glance what type of additional information the event includes.
To enable the icons:
Two locked doors make it harder to get in than one. Similarly, requiring two different verification methods during login make your account a lot more secure. First you verify yourself with your login password and then either with a code that a special app generates for you or with a physical security key.
To enable Two-Factor Authentication:
It’s strongly encouraged to set up at least two Two-Factor Authentication methods. That way, if you’re unable to use one verification method, you’ll still be able to access the account using a backup method.
Check out our Help page about Two-Factor Authentication for more information.
QR codes can be found everywhere, both in the physical world and on the web. It’s common to launch the camera app to scan QR codes and then open the scanned link in a browser or app, but if you want to open the link in Vivaldi anyway, why not use the built-in QR code scanner.
To scan a QR code with Vivaldi on Android:
If the scanner detects a URL, it’ll automatically open the link in a new tab. In case it detects some other information, it offers to copy the information or to do a search with it.
Bonus tip! Use the QR code generator on desktop to quickly share and open links in Vivaldi on Android. See Tip #14 for instructions.
