The History tool in Vivaldi is somewhat different than in a typical browser – instead, Vivaldi’s History is a detailed overview backed by statistics and presented in a fresh, visual way. It was built to give users a powerful and useful tool to explore their browsing patterns and to make finding previously visited sites easier than ever.

Accessing History
To open the History page:
- Click on History on the top menu of the Start Page (vivaldi://startpage);
- Go to
Vivaldi menu > Tools > History;
- Enter vivaldi://history in the Address Field;
- Type “History” in Quick Commands:
- Middle-click on the
History Panel button;
- Use the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl H / ⌘ Y;
- Create a Mouse Gesture for opening the History manager

History offers a number of different views and ways to filter your browsing history data in Vivaldi. Get an overview and a few examples with the video below:
