Put your Speed Dial Groups on the Start Page into the correct order.

Have you added many bookmark folders as Speed Dials on the Start Page, but the order is all wrong, and/or you’d prefer to have the Dashboard as the first page rather than the last? Don’t fret! There’s a super easy way to get them in the correct order.

To reorder your Speed Dial Groups and the Dashboard:

  1. Click on the group you want to move and start dragging it right or left.

  1. Go to Settings > Bookmarks.
  2. Tick the box for “Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click”.

Play around with different layouts for creative ways to arrange your Speed Dials.

When you have a lot of Speed Dials on your Vivaldi browser’s Start Page, you’ll benefit from spreading them out into more columns, so they’ll all fit on the screen. But if you only have a few favorites, you can get more creative with the layout.

To change the number of columns:

  1. Go to Settings > Start Page > Speed Dial or open Quick Settings > Speed Dial Appearance on the Start Page.
  2. From the Maximum Columns drop-down menu, select how many columns of Speed Dials you want. You can have a single column or go in the opposite direction and remove the upper limit altogether.
