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:
Move the Bookmark Bar to the bottom of the window together with the Address and Tab Bar.
Do you prefer to have your important toolbars on the lower side of the browser window? Vivaldi’s flexible customization options allow you to move the toolbars, including the Bookmark Bar, to many different locations.
Import bookmarks, passwords, and more from your old browser to Vivaldi.
In case you weren’t ready to import your browser data from your previous browser during your first use of Vivaldi, you can do it anytime by following the instructions below.
To import data to Vivaldi:
Open the Vivaldi menu > File > Import from Applications or Files.
Select the browser (and its profile) you want to import data from.
Select the data (bookmarks, passwords, history, etc.) you want to import.
If the Speed Dial thumbnail is missing or you don’t like the current one, you can update it with a new screenshot of the web page. If you prefer to choose an image for the thumbnail, follow our directions in Tip #69.
To quickly update Speed Dial thumbnails:
Hover over one of the Speed Dials.
Click on “Update thumbnail” in the top left corner of the Speed Dial.
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 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”.
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.
Bookmark multiple pages at once using the Tab context menu.
While browsing the internet, have you opened many web pages that you want to save for later as Bookmarks? In Vivaldi, there’s a way to add them all at once.
To add multiple web pages as Bookmarks:
On the Tab Bar or in the Window Panel, select the tabs you want to bookmark while holding down the Shift or Ctrl / ⌘ key.
Right-click on one of the selected tabs.
Select Bookmark # Tabs.
In case you want to save all open tabs as bookmarks, select Bookmark All Tabs from the context menu.
Sort Speed Dials in Vivaldi on Android automatically instead of manually moving them around.
When you have manual sorting enabled in Vivaldi on Android you can long-press on a Speed Dial and drag it to a different location on the Start Page. If you want to organize Speed Dials faster, opt for one of the available sorting options.
Bookmark posts on Vivaldi Forum to find them easily later.
Whether you’ve come across instructions for something, an interesting argument, feature request you want to keep an eye on or something else, you can bookmark the post on the Vivaldi Forum. Then, when you need it, you can just go to your bookmarks to revisit the post, instead of searching through thousands of posts.
To bookmark a forum post:
Make sure you’re logged in to your Vivaldi account.
Below the post you want to bookmark, on the right side, click on the menu button.
Select Bookmark.
The number next to the menu option lets you know, how many others have already bookmarked the same post.
Choose how to display bookmarks and bookmark folders on the Bookmark Bar.
One of the fastest ways to access your favorite bookmarks is to display them on the Bookmark Bar. How much is shown about a bookmark is up to you to decide. For example, if you have a lot of bookmarks on the Bookmark Bar, you can save space by not displaying the bookmark name and rely only on the website’s logo to find the one you need.
To change how bookmarks are displayed on the Bookmark Bar:
