Tip #31

Undo your changes to the browser by resetting the settings.

Have you been experimenting with Vivaldi’s settings and now the browser doesn’t behave as you’d like it to? If you’re not sure which of the settings is causing issues, just reset them all and start from fresh. 😅

To reset settings:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to the settings category you want to reset.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the section.
  4. Click Reset [category name] Settings to Default.
  5. Confirm the decision by clicking Reset Settings in the popup dialog.

Tip #12

Go to chrome://settings to access additional browser settings.

Vivaldi is based on Chromium. This means that we inherit the settings Chromium comes with. We have transferred all the important settings to Vivaldi Settings, where they can be accessed together with settings that are unique to Vivaldi.

To access the settings that are not available in Vivaldi Settings, type chrome://settings to the Address Field. Once the page loads, the URL will automatically change to vivaldi://settings. Typing vivaldi://settings directly to the Address Field will, however, take you to the main Vivaldi Settings.
