Open all Bookmarks in a new tab.

By default, Bookmarks open in the active tab. If you’d rather not have Bookmarks hijack websites you were viewing, you can opt for opening them in their own tab as well.

To always open Bookmarks in a new tab:

  1. Go to Settings > Bookmarks.
  2. Enable “Open Bookmarks in New Tab”.

To open a single bookmark differently from your default setting, right-click on the bookmark and select the opening option you prefer – “Open in New Tab”, “Open in Background Tab”, “Open” (in active tab), plus “Open in New Window”, “Open in New Private Window”.

Vivaldi Settings open on the Bookmarks section. "Open Bookmarks in New Tab" option is highlighted.

Share multiple links in one go by copying all links.

Copying links one by one to share or save them is a thing of the past in Vivaldi. Instead, you can copy all links you have open in a Workspace and Tab Stack with just a couple of clicks. In addition, you can manually select specific tabs and copy the links of those.

To copy multiple links at once:

  1. Right-click on a Workspace in the Workspaces menu, on a Tab Stack, or on one of the tabs you selected on the Tab Bar.
  2. Select “Copy all links” from the context menu.
  3. Paste the list of links in a message you’re sending to someone or in a note/document where you want to save them.

Now, sharing your research on the trip you’re planning with your family, sending a bunch of memes to a friend, who needs cheering up, or something else is smoother and faster than ever before.

"Copy All Links" context menu item highlighted on the Workspaces menu.

Take a screenshot of the web page with the Capture tool on Vivaldi on Android.

Sometimes grabbing a screenshot is the best way to save or share web content. Especially, if you want to share more than just images.

You could use your mobile device’s capture feature, but that will also show the status bar and the browser interface, requiring you to spend more time on cropping the output. In addition, you’ll only be able to capture the visible area of the page. Vivaldi’s Capture tool offers a better solution.

To capture a screenshot in Vivaldi on Android:

  1. Open the main Vivaldi menu and select “Capture page”.
  2. Select whether you want to capture the whole page or just the visible area.

The screenshot will be saved to your image gallery, from where you can open it for viewing, further edits, and sharing.

Open a link in a different Workspace through the context menu.

Workspaces allow you to divide tabs into independent sections. But what if you come across a link in one space that you’d like to open in another? You could open the link in the current Workspace and move the tab to a different one, but it’s faster to open it directly as a new tab in the Workspace you want to have the page in.

To open a link in a different Workspace:

  1. Right-click on the link to open the context menu.
  2. Select “Open Link in Another Workspace” > select the destination Workspace.
Social media site open in Vivaldi browser. Link's right-click context menu is open showing how to open the link in a new Workspace.

Avoid unwanted messages by only allowing people you follow to send you a direct message on Vivaldi Social.

Like any social media or public communication channel, Mastodon, including our Vivaldi Social instance, isn’t immune to spam and other bad actors. Luckily, it has many useful settings you can toggle on and off to make your experience on the Fediverse more pleasant. One of them is preventing users that you don’t follow from sending you a direct message.

To enable the setting:

  1. Go to Preferences > Notifications > Other Notification Settings.
  2. Enable “Block direct messages from people you don’t follow”.
Vivaldi Social's notification preferences page with "Block direct messages from people you don't follow" setting highlighted.

Enable “Show Full Address” to see the complete web page URL without needing to focus on the Address Field.

Looking at the Address Field you may have noticed that you don’t see the full address unless you focus on it. That’s because we want you to easily see the most important parts of the URL – the domain and the path. The protocol in front can give you false security, and parameters and anchors at the end can add so much confusion that it can be hard to see which website you are using.

But if you prefer to see the full address at all times:

  1. Right-click on the Address Field.
  2. Select “Always Show Full Address”.

Alternatively, enable it in Settings > Address Bar > Address Field Options.

Two Address Fields. One showing only the domain and path, the other showing a full address.

Instead of looking through folders of Bookmarks, search for the one you need.

It’s easy to have too many Tabs open, but it’s even easier to accumulate a large number of Bookmarks. Finding a bookmark by scrolling through the long lists and folders can be time-consuming. Using the search option in the Bookmarks Panel, Bookmarks Manager, Address Field, or Quick Commands will find the correct bookmark for you a lot faster.

To search for Bookmarks, start typing the name, URL, nickname, or description in one of the places mentioned above and (double-)click on a search result to open the bookmark.

You might not be ready to commit to making Vivaldi the default browser right after installation, but after using the app for a bit, you’ll likely want to use Vivaldi as your main browser.

To set Vivaldi as the default browser app:

  1. Open Vivaldi’s main menu > Settings > Web Pages.
  2. Toggle on “Set as default browser”.
  3. You’ll be taken to your phone’s settings. Select Vivaldi Browser to be the default browser app.

Mark messages as read immediately after opening them.

Vivaldi Mail has three read states – Unseen, Unread, and Read. Messages go from Unseen to Unread automatically after opening them, but marking each message as Read is an active choice. The Unread state is a good way to keep track of messages you’ve already seen but have not dealt with yet.

If this doesn’t fit your workflow, you can skip the Unread state by enabling “Automatically Mark as Read” in Settings > Mail > Mail Settings > Unread Messages.
