When you take a screenshot of a web page using Vivaldi’s Capture tool and save it as a file on your computer, a title will be generated automatically. You can decide what information the title includes. To change the template:
Instead of clicking the Back/Forward button multiple times to return to a recently visited page, you can open a list of visited pages and open the one you need directly.
Here’s how:
Back/Forward button on the Address Bar.
It also works on Android! 🥳 Just tap and hold your finger on the Back/Forward button until a list with your recently visited pages opens.
On desktop, when you right-click on the list entry or hold down the Ctrl/⌘ key while clicking, the page will open in a new tab.
With the Sync feature you can synchronize your browser data across Vivaldi on multiple devices (computers, phones, tablets and even with some cars). In addition to Bookmarks, Notes and other data, you can also sync your open Tabs.
To sync Tabs:
Synced tabs button on the far side of the Tab Bar, select the synced device, and click on the web page you want to open. Synced tabs from the menu at the bottom of the window. Then, tap on the web page you want to open.
When you enable Minimize Active Tab in Settings > Tabs > Tab Features > Tab Cycling, you can click on the active tab on the Tab Bar to return to the previously opened tab.
The Pop Out Video feature, aka Picture-in-Picture, allows you to display HTML5 videos in a floating window so that you can continue watching the video while scrolling down a page or changing tabs.
To pop a video out from a web page:
pop out video button that appears at the top edge of the video.If you don’t see the button, check that Picture-in-Picture Button on Videos is enabled in Settings > Webpages.
Learn more about the feature on our Help page about Pop Out Video.
Vivaldi comes with a lot of built-in functionality, but you can do some additional fine tuning by adding Extensions. Since Vivaldi is built on Chromium, most Extensions available on Chrome Web Store also work in Vivaldi.
To add Extensions:

Since Europe’s GDPR and a few other user privacy laws don’t allow placing Cookies in your browser without consent, on your first visit, most websites ask for your permission as soon as the page has loaded. Accepting all cookies will allow the website and third parties to collect information on you and use the data in an attempt to influence your decisions later on. Until there’s better legislation, we recommend rejecting these cookies. But, depending on the website, rejecting all cookies can take minutes, slowing down your browsing significantly.
That’s why we’ve added a way to remove these cookie dialogs in the browser. To enable it:
Enabling these lists will simply block the service that asks for consent, or hide the consent dialog, in the same way as it might remove a tracker or an ad. Without consent cookies cannot be placed in the browser.
We at Vivaldi believe that spying on users on the Internet using cookies and other tracking methods should be banned. To join our fight, check out https://banspying.org and share it with your friends.
Not in the mood for the current theme, but don’t feel like opening Themes Settings either to pick a different one? No problem. In Vivaldi, you can switch to the next theme in your Theme Library with a Keyboard Shortcut.
Since the command doesn’t come with a default shortcut, you first need to assign one to it.
Now, whenever you feel like changing the theme, just use the shortcut. Use it multiple times in a row to shuffle through all themes in your Theme Library.
By the way, you can also type “Next Theme” in Quick Commands or use a Mouse Gesture.
When you group tabs into a stack, the icon and title of the most recent active tab in the stack will be shown on the Tab Bar. With many tabs and stacks, locating the tab you need can still take time. Tab Stack renaming to the rescue!!! By giving the stack a title, you can spot the right stack on the Tab Bar in no time. 💪
There are a couple of ways to rename a Tab Stack.
Option 1
Option 2
In case you have enabled minimizing tabs or closing tabs on double-click, it’s not possible to start renaming a Tab Stack with double-click.
Option 3
Not all Panels are equal. Give each Panel the width it needs to display the content in the best possible way.
To resize a Panel:
There are multiple ways to generate a QR code on the desktop version of Vivaldi.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
When the code has been created, you can download the QR code as an image, copy the QR code image, or show your device’s screen to someone, who can scan the QR code with their device.
Access Keys are a way to use a website’s key functionalities through keyboard shortcuts. Each website defines these shortcuts themselves.
To view the available shortcuts, either:
To use the shortcut, hold down Shift+Alt (Ctrl ⌥ on maOS) and the listed key to run the shortcut on the open web page.
Vivaldi is based on Chromium. This means that we inherit the settings Chromium comes with. We have transferred all the important settings to Vivaldi Settings, where they can be accessed together with settings that are unique to Vivaldi.
To access the settings that are not available in Vivaldi Settings, type chrome://settings to the Address Field. Once the page loads, the URL will automatically change to vivaldi://settings. Typing vivaldi://settings directly to the Address Field will, however, take you to the main Vivaldi Settings.
Most of us probably just press Enter on our keyboards when we’re ready to do a search or open a website, but did you know there’s a button in the user interface you can click instead?
The 
Site Info button turns into a 
Go to Address button on the Start Page or when you’ve entered something in the Address Field. Just click on the magnifying glass, when you’re ready to see the search results or load the web page.
In case you’ve used a search engine nickname before your search term, you’ll see the chosen search engine’s logo instead. You can click that one too.
