  3. Tap on “Edit” in the confirmation banner that appears at the bottom of the browser window.

Edit a new bookmark in the bookmark dialog right after adding it.

There are over 10 different ways you can add new Bookmarks in Vivaldi (see them all in Tip #137). If you’re in the habit of editing bookmarks’ titles, descriptions, nicknames, and/or folders they’re in, you can open the bookmark dialog to do so. For example, if you added a bookmark from the button on the Address Bar, click it again to open the dialog, or use the bookmarking Keyboard Shortcut a second time.

In case you edit the bookmark right after adding it more often than not, you can make Vivaldi open the dialog as you’re adding the new bookmark. To do that:

  1. Go to Settings > Bookmarks.
  2. Enable “Always Open Bookmark Dialog”.

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.
