Have you ever considered having a preference for which tab to focus on next when you close a tab you no longer need? With Vivaldi you can do just that. In addition to prioritizing related tabs, you can choose to open tabs you had focused on before the closed tab or open the tab that was on the left/right side of the closed tab.
To make your choice:
With Vivaldi’s highly customizable user interface, you can move toolbars around as you like. The Panels Toolbar, hosting your Bookmarks, Downloads, Notes, Web Panels and more can be located either on the left or right side of the browser window. Especially when you prefer vertical Tabs (see Tip #204), you need to think about whether you want to have Tabs and Panels on either side of the window or both on the same side.
To move Panels:
With the integrated Vivaldi Calendar, you can quickly add events and get back to what you were doing in no time by opening the new event dialog using either Quick Commands, a Keyboard Shortcut, or a Mouse Gesture.

While we’re busy making a browser, our friends at Porcelain Fortress have been working hard on a follow-up to the Vivaldia game. In Vivaldia 2, the game world is bigger, the enemies stronger, and the game a lot more adventurous. While the first game could only be played in the Vivaldi browser (see Tip #144), the new game is available on the web and Steam.
To play Vivaldia 2 on the web, go to https://vivaldi.com/games/vivaldia2/.
To get the game on Steam, head over to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623150/Vivaldia_2/.
Have fun! 😎
If you frequently add the same kind of event (birthday, doctor’s appointment, meeting, etc.) but it doesn’t occur regularly so you can’t set recurrence to it, you can use event templates to speed up adding new events instead.
To create a template:
Alternatively, you can create a new template directly from the event editor > Templates > Create New Event Template.
Your synced browser data in Vivaldi is end-to-end encrypted. To decrypt it, you need to know the encryption password you set up on your first Sync use. Should you be in a situation where you no longer have the browser data stored locally (e.g. after an operating system reset) on any devices and you’ve forgotten the encryption password, there’s unfortunately no way to restore the data.
So, while everything is still alright, make sure you have the encryption password memorized or stored in a safe location. In case you’ve forgotten the encryption password, you can easily reset it without data loss on a device that has your browser data accessible locally.
To reset Sync’s encryption password:

“Page Offers Feeds” button on the right side of the Address Field.
When focusing on the Address Field are you more likely to type in something new or to edit the existing link? By default the current address is selected, so you can start typing a new address or a search term right away, but if you’d rather keep the address in the Address Field to edit it, you can disable automatic address selection.
To update your Address Field preferences:
When disabled, the mouse cursor will be placed where you click in the Address Field.
So you created an event in your Vivaldi Calendar, but still missed it because you didn’t check your Calendar at the right time? To prevent this from happening again, set reminders for your events. You can add one manually for each event or you can set default reminders for all events.
To set default reminders:
You can set separate reminders for regular and all-day events.
Vivaldi comes with a selection of Search Engines, many of which generate revenue for us, which helps us keep doing what we’re doing. But you can also add your own Search Engines to Vivaldi, such as scientific journal databases, favorite shopping sites, dictionaries, news sites, and almost any other website that has a search field on it.
We shared a quick way of adding new Search Engines in Tip #74. That option doesn’t work on every website, though, so another option is to add one manually.
To add new Search Engines manually:
%s or %S.https://help.vivaldi.com/?s=workspaces >>> https://help.vivaldi.com/?s=%s.Now you can type the Search Engine Nickname followed by your search keyword(s) in the Address Field and get to results much faster.
