On macOS, Vivaldi’s main menu is always fully visible. On Windows and Linux, by default, the main menu can be accessed by clicking on the little Vivaldi logo 
in the top left corner of the window. But it can also be displayed in full on the top edge of the browser window.
To display the horizontal menu:
Alternatively, toggle horizontal menu’s visibility from Vivaldi menu > View > Horizontal Main Menu.
Clicking on a bookmark, bookmark folder or empty space on the Bookmark Bar with the right mouse button will open a menu with various useful options.
Depending on where you click, the menu options you see may include the following:
If you receive a lot of messages, it helps to automate some of the organizational work. Creating Filters is a good way to move incoming messages to a different folder, add flags to them, reply with a predefined message and more.
To create Filters in Vivaldi Webmail:
Settings > Filters.
Create on the top edge of the page, towards the right side.On the screenshot below, you can see an example of a filter that moves messages containing the words “[Book Club]” in the subject to a folder titled Book Club.
Adding a new Search Engine to Vivaldi lets you get to the site’s search results without needing to navigate to the page first. To add a new custom Search Engine:
To search with your new Search Engine, type its nickname before the search term in the Address Field or select it from the Search Field’s dropdown menu.
If there’s text you need to enter somewhere often enough, you might want to save that text as a note and just insert it from the context menu every time you need it. It saves time and prevents accidental typos. Win-win! 😎
To use this trick:
Bonus tip!
While the focus is on the text input field, use the Keyboard Shortcut Shift + F10 (on Windows & Linux) to open the context menu. Then use arrow keys or menu item anchor letters to find the correct note. Press Enter to insert the note.
To update your browser’s Theme with a new background image, you don’t necessarily have to add a file from your computer, you can also set an image from the web as your background image.
By default, Vivaldi Settings open in a new window. If you would prefer Settings to open in a Tab like web pages and other internal pages:
Then, the next time you open Settings, they’ll be in a tab instead of window.
If there’s a page you visit often on the Forum, consider making it your Forum homepage. Then, while logged in, whenever you click Home on the Forum menu or go to forum.vivaldi.net, you’ll be shown your chosen homepage.
To set a homepage:
Start Page is likely one of the most visited pages in your browser. So, it makes sense to put in some effort to make it look great.
One way to customize the Start Page is to select custom thumbnail images for each of your Speed Dial bookmarks. To add a custom thumbnail:
Select Custom Thumbnail in the top left corner.The recommended image size is 440×360px and most image formats are supported, including animated GIFs.
Let’s say you block all ads and trackers by default, but want to make an exception for a specific website that you trust or, maybe, the site behaves strangely, so you want to check whether disabling the content blocker will solve the issue. In that case, while the website you want to change the blocking level for is open in the active tab:
Content Blocker button on the left side of the Address field.You can view and manage all websites you’ve set a separate blocking level for in Settings > Privacy and Security > Tracker and Ad Blocking > Exceptions.
To close a tab, hold down the right mouse button and swipe down and right, making an L shape.
Keep doing that to close multiple tabs one after another. It’s a great and fast option, when you want to see what’s on the page before closing it.
In case you accidentally closed a tab or changed your mind, you can reopen recently closed tabs by holding down the right mouse button and swiping up and right.
You can discover more gestures and customize them in Settings > Mouse > Gesture Mapping.
When you use the Zoom slider/buttons or shortcuts to change a tab’s zoom level, the value jumps by 10 (90%, 100%, 110%, etc.). To set a custom value:
