Quick Commands allow you to search everything in Vivaldi – Bookmarks, open Tabs, commands, etc. You can also open web links through Quick Commands by entering the URL and pressing Enter. By default, the link will open in the active tab, but if you prefer to open the link in a new tab:

Like any social media or public communication channel, Mastodon, including our Vivaldi Social instance, isn’t immune to spam and other bad actors. Luckily, it has many useful settings you can toggle on and off to make your experience on the Fediverse more pleasant. One of them is preventing users that you don’t follow from sending you a direct message.
To enable the setting:
Looking at the Address Field you may have noticed that you don’t see the full address unless you focus on it. That’s because we want you to easily see the most important parts of the URL – the domain and the path. The protocol in front can give you false security, and parameters and anchors at the end can add so much confusion that it can be hard to see which website you are using.

Alternatively, enable it in Settings > Address Bar > Address Field Options.
It’s easy to have too many Tabs open, but it’s even easier to accumulate a large number of Bookmarks. Finding a bookmark by scrolling through the long lists and folders can be time-consuming. Using the search option in the Bookmarks Panel, Bookmarks Manager, Address Field, or Quick Commands will find the correct bookmark for you a lot faster.
To search for Bookmarks, start typing the name, URL, nickname, or description in one of the places mentioned above and (double-)click on a search result to open the bookmark.
You might not be ready to commit to making Vivaldi the default browser right after installation, but after using the app for a bit, you’ll likely want to use Vivaldi as your main browser.
To set Vivaldi as the default browser app:
Vivaldi Mail has three read states – Unseen, Unread, and Read. Messages go from Unseen to Unread automatically after opening them, but marking each message as Read is an active choice. The Unread state is a good way to keep track of messages you’ve already seen but have not dealt with yet.
If this doesn’t fit your workflow, you can skip the Unread state by enabling “Automatically Mark as Read” in Settings > Mail > Mail Settings > Unread Messages.
