Share links of web pages you have open in Vivaldi on iOS effortlessly with others.
To share a link from your iPhone or iPad, you can tap on the Address Field to copy the link and paste it in some other app, but why do that when there’s a more convenient option.
To share a link of the active tab:
Open the Vivaldi menu.
Tap on “Share Page”.
Choose the app you want to share the link with or one of the other sharing options available on iOS.
Create a shortcut for toggling dark mode for web pages on and off.
Through Settings > Appearance > Website Appearance, you can choose to display all websites in dark mode all the time. Even if a website hasn’t provided a dark option for their website, you can have Vivaldi create it for them by forcing dark mode to be used. But occasionally even dark mode lovers need to turn on the lights temporarily. That’s where shortcuts come in handy.
Customize menu item anchor letters to make navigating menus with your keyboard more comfortable.
Have you noticed that in menus one letter is often underlined? If not, go on and right-click on the page to see for yourself. The underlined letters indicate which key on your keyboard to press to select that command. Pressing the letters instead of arrow keys makes using menus a lot faster. But first you need to make sure that the assigned letters make sense to you. If not, change them.
Add the symbol & in front of the letter you want to act as the anchor.
Press “Enter” to save the change.
Then to navigate menus using anchor letters, first use a shortcut to open the menu, for example, Shift + F10 to open web page’s context menu, and then press the letter (multiple letters, if the command is in a sub menu) to select and execute the command.
Tinker with Vivaldi’s appearance, all the way down to the menu icon.
On macOS, Vivaldi browser’s main menu is baked into the operating system, but on Windows and Linux you can access the main menu from the icon in the top left corner of the browser window.
If you wish, you can replace the Vivaldi icon with a more generic, so-called “Hamburger”, ☰ menu icon. To do that:
Go to Settings > Appearance > Menu > Menu Icon Style.
Enable compact layout of menus if you prefer your menu items to be more tight-knit.
Vivaldi 6.7 introduced a new design to the browser’s main and context menus. Among other changes, each menu item is given more space (great for when your screen supports touch interactions). If you prefer the previous design, you can enable it with a quick setting change.
Click and hold on a button on the Vivaldi user interface to open its context menu.
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!
Did you know that in addition to Bookmarks you can add links to sites you visit frequently to the browser’s menus? And we’re not just talking about the main Vivaldi menu here. You can add a link to all (context) menus Vivaldi has. Nice! 😎
Click on the Vivaldi logo in the corner to access the browser’s main menu.
Are you new to Vivaldi and looking for where you can access the browser’s menu with some of the most useful features. In Vivaldi the menu can be opened when you click or tap on the Vivaldi logo, except for Vivaldi on macOS, where the full menu is always on display.
On desktop the Vivaldi logo is in the top left corner and on Android it’s on the right side of the Address Bar, either at the top or bottom of the screen, depending on your settings.
Reorder the menus to have your most used commands at your fingertips.
A browser should adapt to your needs not the other way around. And that’s what Vivaldi does by allowing you to customize its menus according to your preferences. For example, if you use Open Link in Background Tab more than you use Open Link in New Tab, why not switch their places and put the most used option at the top of the list?
In addition to adding, removing and reordering menu items in Vivaldi, you can also rename them. Giving you the perfect opportunity to, not only name actions in a way that makes sense to you, but also add a little fun to them with emojis. 😎
Display the main application menu horizontally on the top edge of the browser window.
On macOS, Vivaldi’s main menu is always fully visible. On Windows and Linux, by default, the main menu can be accessed by clicking on the little Vivaldi logo in the top left corner of the window. But it can also be displayed in full on the top edge of the browser window.
To display the horizontal menu:
Go to Settings > Appearance > Menu > Menu position.
Select Horizontal.
Alternatively, toggle horizontal menu’s visibility from Vivaldi menu > View > Horizontal Main Menu.
