Having to do a double click instead of a single click doesn’t seem like a big deal, but you’d be surprised how even the most minuscule differences can affect your workflow.
To enable bookmark opening with a single click:
And how about combining it with the “Open Bookmarks in New Tab” setting, which you’ll find right above “Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click”?
Are you randomly getting notifications from Vivaldi that look unrelated to the browser? It’s likely that a website you visited in Vivaldi on Android has asked permission to send you notifications and you’ve (un)intentionally agreed.
To update notification permissions:
Geolocation can be a convenient feature, but not every service provider needs to know where in the world you are. That’s why, in Vivaldi, you control which websites can access your location.
By default, every new website that wants to access your location will ask for your permission and you can either allow or block access. You can update the default setting and review which sites have requested permission in Settings > Privacy and Security > Website Permissions.
Do you prefer to start searching by casting a wide net and hoping the best result shows up that way or do you like to start small and expand if nothing good comes up? By changing the default search folder (All messages vs Current Folder) in Vivaldi Mail, you can tailor the mail client to match your style. If the default isn’t a good match for a particular search you can always adjust the scope in search filters.

Enabling Reader View helps to read text-heavy pages more easily by removing distractions. To accomodate the readers of vertical text, we’ve also added a setting to display texts in Japanese, Chinese and Korean vertically when Reader View is enabled.
To enable vertical Reader View:
Prefer to have apps in your mother tongue or want to learn new vocabulary in a different language? Then it’s time to explore the language settings in Vivaldi.
To change the user interface language:
If you don’t see the language of your choice as an option, but you’re well-versed in both English and that language, reach out to us and help us translate the browser.
When replying to an email, Vivaldi Webmail offers a few options for you. You can decide whether to include the message you’re replying to or not. If you decide to keep the message, you can choose whether to write your own message above or below it.
To pick your preference:
One website wants access to your location, another wants to send you notifications, a third wants access to your camera and microphone, and so on. It’s not easy to remember to which websites you’ve given which permissions. Luckily, you’ll find all websites and their permissions listed neatly in Vivaldi’s Settings.
To review and update Website Permissions:
Start Page with your Speed Dials isn’t the only option for your Homepage and New Tab Page. You can also set pages of your choice to open when you go to your homepage or open a new tab. It’s common to set a website as one of these pages, but you could also open Bookmarks, Notes, Calendar, and more.
To set an internal page as the Homepage/New Tab Page:
vivaldi://bookmarks, vivaldi://notes, vivaldi://calendar.When you’re confident in your actions and don’t feel like you need to be asked whether you’re sure about closing a single window or the browser altogether, you can easily disable the prompts.
To disable the confirmation dialogs:
Alternatively, tick the box for “Do not show confirmation again” when prompted with the dialog.
You may be comfortable with one search engine for your everyday browsing but prefer a different search engine when you want stronger privacy. In Vivaldi on Android, like in Vivaldi on desktop and iOS (see Tip #378), you have the choice to set separate Search Engines as the default ones for Standard Tabs and Private Tabs.
To update the default search engines:
back arrow.
Like the results and features of one search engine, but want to amp up the privacy of search in private tabs? In Vivaldi on iOS, like in the desktop version, you have the choice to set separate search engines as the default ones for standard tabs and private tabs.
To update the default search engines:
back arrow.
Some websites have content in multiple languages and check your browser/OS setting to decide which language to display it in. In Vivaldi on Android, you can choose the languages you’d like to see websites in.
To review and add preferred languages:
Vivaldi menu > Settings > Language settings > Preferred languages.You can change the order of priority by tapping on the 
symbol in front of the language name and dragging it up or down in the list.
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:
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”.
