The most common and convenient place to install Vivaldi on Android is from Google Play. If you can’t or don’t want to use Google Play, there are a few alternative ways to install Vivaldi on your mobile device.
First of all, there are two alternative app stores you can choose from:
The second option involves downloading and installing the APK version of Vivaldi. Before you can install Vivaldi from an APK file, though, allow the installation of APKs either by enabling developer mode on your phone or by giving certain apps (like a browser app) permission to download and install APKs. If you don’t do that before, you’ll be prompted to change the settings once you open the APK file.
To install Vivaldi:
Please note that updates via .apk install are not automatic and you need to download and install the latest version after every new release. To ensure you are aware of the latest fixes and security updates, we strongly advise subscribing to our Newsletter or RSS feed, or following our official social media channels.
Android 12 and up supports opening multiple windows of the same app. This means that if you have a newer mobile device, you can browse with Vivaldi in multiple windows just like on desktop.
Multiple windows are supported better on devices with larger screens, such as tablets. To open a new window on a tablet or a phone with a width larger than 600dp:
Vivaldi menu.Though not as convenient, you can open a new window on a smaller screen by following these steps:
When checking the app switcher, you’ll see Vivaldi listed twice or more, if you’ve opened even more windows.
Check out the Help page about Windows on Android to learn more about managing windows on your mobile device.
Both on Vivaldi on desktop and Vivaldi on Android, you have a few options for the location of newly opened tabs. To change where the new tab opens, go to Settings > Tabs > New Tab position either on desktop or Android. Then choose between the following options:
You can tailor the menu bar in Vivaldi’s main menu to fit your individual workflow.
To customize the menu bar:
Vivaldi menu > Settings > General > Main Menu.
On desktop, Ctrl+F / ⌘ F is a well known Keyboard Shortcut for searching through the open web page. On mobile devices, where the screens fit even less content in the visible area, being able to just search for a keyword is even more useful.

You can drag tabs one by one over each other or over existing Tab Stacks to group tabs, but if you want to group many tabs at once, there’s a better option.
To group tabs:
3 dot menu at the top of the screen.
Tab Stacks in Vivaldi are an excellent way to group related tabs together. And like on desktop, you have a couple of display options for Tab Stacks also on Vivaldi for Android.
For example, you can choose whether you want to make use of the Two-Level Tab Bar, where you have a Tab Bar just like on desktop and tabs in a stack will be displayed on the second level. See the phone on the right side on the screenshot below. In addition, you can choose whether the Tab Bar (together with the Address Bar) is located at the top or bottom of the screen. Toggle the setting in Settings > Appearance > Address Bar at Bottom, to see which you prefer.
Alternatively, if you want to keep the valuable screen real estate for web content, you can disable the Tab Bar from Settings > Tabs > Show Tab Bar. Then, while you have a stacked tab open, you’ll see all tabs in the same Tab Stack on a menu at the bottom of the screen. See the phone on the left side on the screenshot below.
