View and manage your Tab Stacks in Vivaldi on Android from the Tab Stacks pane.

When you group tabs in Vivaldi on Android you will see the Tab Stacks as a separate item in the Tab Switcher. With this organized view, you can easily switch between the stacks without needing to find them in a mix of tabs and stacks in the main opened tabs view of the Tab Switcher. It’s perfect for users who manage multiple tasks or projects at once.

In the Tab Stacks pane, you can:

  • View Tab Stacks and the tabs in them.
  • Close tabs and delete Tab Stacks.
  • Rename Tab Stacks.
  • Edit the stacks’ colors.

  • In Vivaldi, open the Vivaldi menu and select Downloads to be taken directly to the folder.
  • From your iPhone/iPad’s home screen, go to Files > Browse > On my iPhone/iPad > Vivaldi.

Add emojis to your Workspaces that reflect their contents.

  2. Click on the current icon in front of the workspace’s name.
  3. Go to the Emoji view.
  4. Click on the “Paste any emoji here” field.
  5. Enter your preferred emoji:
    • Option 1 – Copy and paste an emoji (for example, from https://emojipedia.org)
    • Option 2 – Open your operating system’s emoji picker (right-click in the field > Emojis & Symbols) and select one from there.

View completed tasks in the Tasks Panel with one click.

There’s no better feeling than marking a task complete and seeing it disappear from view. To revel in that nice feeling some more, you can bring all completed tasks back into view and admire all you’ve accomplished. Or, in the unfortunate event, mark a task as incomplete again.

To view completed tasks:

  1. Open the Tasks Panel.
  2. At the bottom of the panel, click on “Show Completed Tasks”.

Export saved passwords from Vivaldi on Android.

When you need to move passwords from one place to another and Vivaldi Sync is not an option, doing it in bulk is definitely faster than copying the login credentials over one by one. Like on desktop, you can export the passwords you’ve saved in the Vivaldi browser as a CSV file.

But act cautiously! Your passwords will be exported and downloaded as a text file. They will be visible to anyone and any app with access to the folder in which the file is saved.

To export passwords on Android:

  1. Go to Settings > Password Manager.
  2. Tap on the 3-dot menu in the top right corner and select “Export passwords”.
  3. Enter your device’s lock screen PIN/password/etc.
  4. Read the caution message and if you want to proceed, tap “Export passwords”.
  5. Rename the file, if you wish.
  6. Select the file folder you want to save the CSV file to.
  7. Tap “Save”.
