The day has arrived when you no longer need to wait for an invitation to get your hands on a preview of Vivaldi on iOS. Now you can go to the App Store and install the official first version of Vivaldi on iOS on all your Apple devices.
Once you’ve done this, tell your family and friends to install Vivaldi on their phones and tablets as well.
Some websites have content in multiple languages and check your browser/OS setting to decide which language to display it in. In Vivaldi on Android, you can choose the languages you’d like to see websites in.
To review and add preferred languages:
Vivaldi menu > Settings > Language settings > Preferred languages.You can change the order of priority by tapping on the 
symbol in front of the language name and dragging it up or down in the list.
If you’d like your posts on our Mastodon instance, Vivaldi Social, to reach every corner of the Fediverse, you can allow your public posts to be included in search results.
To opt in:
If you want to exclude a specific post from search, set the post’s privacy to “Unlisted”, “Followers Only” or “Mentioned people only”.
Extensions on your browser toolbar appear in the order you add them, but you can rearrange them easily.
To reorder Extensions:
Ctrl / ⌘* key on your keyboard.On macOS, release the ⌘ key before you release the mouse button.
Some have set up a meticulous folder system for all their files, others save everything in one place and maybe sort things out later. If you’re in the latter camp, you can enable a setting in Vivaldi that lets you skip the Downloads dialog that asks you where you want to save each file.
To skip the Downloads dialog:
Grouping tabs into Tab Stacks is a great way to keep your tabs neat and organized. But what to do with a tab that has ended up in the wrong stack? Use one of the following ways to remove a single tab from a Tab Stack:
It’s natural that not all discussions on the Vivaldi Forum can be relevant or interesting to you. To keep the Unread feed clean, you can mark one or more topics read without opening them.
To mark topics read:
If you accidentally marked a topic as read, you should be able to find the topic fairly easily again from Recent topics.
In Tip #205 we showed you how to add some fun visuals to your upcoming Calendar tasks and events. Visual reminders are great, but sometimes audio cues are needed.
To pick a sound for Calendar notifications:
You can also adjust the notification volume.
You know you have a lot of open tabs in Vivaldi on Android, when instead of a number on the Tab Switcher button you see :D. To keep the number of open tabs manageable, you can set Vivaldi to prompt you to close tabs that you haven’t visited in a while.
To set a time after which you’ll get prompted to close old tabs:
Cookies can be useful. They can keep you logged into accounts, save your language preferences, and more, but they can also be used to track you. To curtail the latter, you can have Vivaldi delete all cookies stored in the browser on exit.
To update your Cookie preferences:
“Copy link to highlight” (see Tip #169) is a great feature for sharing a specific part of a web page quickly. Instead of sharing a link and instructing the recipient to scroll past 5 paragraphs of text and 3 images, they’ll be taken to the exact spot you want to highlight (as long as they also use a browser that supports this feature). While on desktop only the link is shared, on Android the highlighted text is also included in the message.
To share text from Vivaldi on Android:
Combining actions often used one after another into a single Command Chain can help you streamline your browsing. One of the many Command Chains you can create is searching for text you have copied to the clipboard in a new tab. That way you can skip opening a new tab, focusing on the address field, pasting your search term in it, and executing the search. It’s all done with the use of a single shortcut or click of a button.
To create the Command Chain:
“Add Command Chain” below the list of existing chains.
Do you prefer to have your important toolbars on the lower side of the browser window? Vivaldi’s flexible customization options allow you to move the toolbars, including the Bookmark Bar, to many different locations.
To move the Bookmark Bar to the bottom:
You can also move the Address and Tab Bars to the bottom of the window from Settings > Address Bar and Settings > Tabs, respectively.
In case you weren’t ready to import your browser data from your previous browser during your first use of Vivaldi, you can do it anytime by following the instructions below.
