Whether you’re on an unreliable network or just want to confirm that your message was sent, seeing a notification at the corner of the screen will put your mind at ease.
To enable sent mail notifications:
Saving tabs as a Session is a great way to save a selection of tabs for easy access at a later date. While you don’t need them, you can close the tabs to declutter your browser and free up some resources.
To rename a Session:
Prefer to have apps in your mother tongue or want to learn new vocabulary in a different language? Then it’s time to explore the language settings in Vivaldi.
To change the user interface language:
If you don’t see the language of your choice as an option, but you’re well-versed in both English and that language, reach out to us and help us translate the browser.
One website wants access to your location, another wants to send you notifications, a third wants access to your camera and microphone, and so on. It’s not easy to remember to which websites you’ve given which permissions. Luckily, you’ll find all websites and their permissions listed neatly in Vivaldi’s Settings.
To review and update Website Permissions:
Start Page with your Speed Dials isn’t the only option for your Homepage and New Tab Page. You can also set pages of your choice to open when you go to your homepage or open a new tab. It’s common to set a website as one of these pages, but you could also open Bookmarks, Notes, Calendar, and more.
To set an internal page as the Homepage/New Tab Page:
vivaldi://bookmarks, vivaldi://notes, vivaldi://calendar.When you have enabled Event Property Icons in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display, you’ll see little icons next to the event title showing what kind of information the event includes.
If you’ve added a web link to the event, you can just click the icon to open it, instead of opening the event to view and open the URL. That’s especially useful when you’ve chosen the Minimal View in Vivaldi Calendar, where only the time and event title are displayed.
When you type a link or a search term in the Address Field, you’ll see suggestions from Bookmarks, (Typed) History, Synced Tabs, and more in the Address Field drop-down menu and as the auto-completed suggestion. If some (Typed) History suggestions are no longer relevant, you can remove them.
To delete suggestions from History:
To make use of brand new and improved features, fixed bugs, and important security updates, make sure to keep your Vivaldi up to date. The easiest way to achieve this is by enabling automatic downloading and installing of updates. That way, the update is downloaded in the background and all you need to do is restart the browser when it’s most convenient for you for the update to be applied.
To enable automatic updates:
You can export your Reading List as a CSV file from Vivaldi to back up, transfer, or share the articles and pages you’ve saved. The file includes the page link, title, read status, and last interaction time of each saved page.
To export your Reading List:
Vivaldi menu > File > Export > Export Reading List.
Dark themes have been in for a while, but websites are still catching up with the trend. If you don’t want to wait, you can use Vivaldi’s settings to display even those sites in darker colors.
To enable dark mode:
You’ll mainly see the background image on your Start Page, but by tweaking some settings you can make it visible on the Tab Bar and behind Panels as well.
To adjust your theme’s transparency settings:
Right-clicking on elements on the browser user interface and web pages is a common way to open the context menu with numerous options. On Vivaldi’s Address Bar, the Panels sidebar, and the Mail toolbar, you can open the menus in another way as well. With the left mouse button, just click on a button and hold the mouse button down until the menu opens. Easy-peasy!
Fraudsters are an unfortunate part of the internet, constantly coming up with more and more ways to scam people. To help you spot malicious actors and prevent scams and phishing attacks, Vivaldi highlights the core part of the URL while the rest of the URL will be visible and lowlighted.
For example, if someone is trying to make you think that you’re on Google’s web page, they may use a link similar to this – www.google.fakesite.com. With base domain highlighting in addresses, the real domain will be highlighted and displayed as www.google.fakesite.com. This way you can recognize which company controls the domain and not fall for the scam.
You do have the option to disable base domain highlighting in Settings > Address Bar > Security Features, but we strongly advise you against doing so.
When, on second thought, you’re not finished with an email and want to take another look at a later time, you can mark it as unread again. One of the easiest ways to do it, especially if you used a Keyboard Shortcut to mark the message read in the first place, is by pressing Shift + K on your keyboard.
But of course, there are other ways you can do it as well. Here are all the ways you can mark a message unread in Vivaldi Mail:
Mark Unread button in the message toolbar above the message.
