Open web pages in their apps

With Vivaldi on Android’s default settings, when you’re opening a website that you also have an app for, the app takes over. Some people don’t like that, so Vivaldi has a setting to prevent that switch.

To enable always opening links in Vivaldi:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security.
  2. Enable Don’t open links in external apps.

But every once in a while, you might prefer to view the website’s content in its app instead of the browser. In such cases, you can switch to the app with just two taps.

To open a web page in an external app:

  1. Go to the Vivaldi menu.
  2. Tap Open in app.

To see that option in the menu, you must have the app already installed.
