Contents hide

Add your favourite and often visited sites to Bookmarks to access them faster.

Accessing Bookmarks

To view your bookmarks, tap on the Panel button in the bottom left corner of the window to open the Bookmarks Panel.

To search bookmarks, tap on the Search button on the left side of the bottom toolbar.

To open a bookmark in the active tab, just tap on it. To open a bookmark in a new tab or a private tab:

Long press on the bookmark;
Tap on the overflow menu in the top right corner;
Select Open in new tab or Open in private tab.

Opening Bookmarks via the Address Field

When you type in the Address Field, you can get autocomplete suggestions from Bookmarks, History, Direct Match, and Search Engines. Bookmarks are prioritized by default, but you have a couple of options there. For example, instead of prioritizing suggestions based on the bookmark title, you can prioritize Bookmark Nicknames.

If you prefer Bookmark Nickname matching:

Go to Vivaldi Menu > Settings > Address Bar.
Disable Prioritize Bookmarks.
Keep Prioritize Bookmark Nicknames enabled.

When you also disable Bookmark Nicknames, upon a match, your typed keyword will be autocompleted from History.

Adding Bookmarks

There are multiple ways to add a new bookmark on Vivaldi Mobile.

Option 1

To add an open web page to your bookmarks, tap on the Vivaldi menu > Bookmark Page. You’ll get a notification on the bottom of the screen, telling you in which folder the bookmark was saved to. If you wish to change the folder, name, description and/or nickname, tap on Edit.

Option 2

Go to the Start Page;
Tap on the Add New Speed Dial button after your Speed Dials;
Long press on the Add New Speed Dial button and select New Speed Dial Folder to add a new folder to the Speed Dial;
Enter at least the Name and URL of the new bookmark.

The bookmark will be saved to that Speed Dial folder.

Option 3

Open the Bookmarks Panel;
Tap on Add Bookmark button in the bottom right corner, to add a new bookmark.

The new bookmark will be saved to the folder that’s currently open in the Bookmarks Panel.

Editing Bookmarks

To edit a single bookmark or a folder, find it in the Bookmarks Panel and long press on it until the bookmark favicon / folder icon is replaced with a checkmark and a new menu appears. Tap on the Edit button to edit the bookmark. Alternatively, while you have the bookmarked page open in the active tab, open the Vivaldi menu and select Edit bookmark.

To move bookmarks:

Long press on the ones you want to move;
Tap on the Move button;
Select or create a new destination folder.

To edit a Speed Dial bookmark on the Start Page:

Long press the bookmark;
Select Edit Speed Dial from the context menu.

Sorting bookmarks

To change how bookmarks are sorted:

Open the Bookmarks Panel;
Tap on the sort button on the top menu bar;
Select between sorting:
- manually
- by title
- by address
- by nickname
- by description
- by creation date
Optionally, tap on the preferred option again to reverse the sorting order.

All bookmark folders will be sorted by the same rule.

Reordering bookmarks

To reorder bookmarks:

Open the Bookmarks Panel;
Long press on the bookmark(s) you want to reorder until the bookmark favicon / folder icon is replaced with a check mark;
Press on the Reorder button and drag the bookmarks one by one to their new location on the list of bookmarks;
Deselect the bookmarks by tapping on the check mark in front of the bookmark title.

Manual reordering is, unfortunately, not possible with Android’s accessibility settings enabled.

Bookmark Nicknames

Bookmark Nicknames allow you to open bookmarks faster from the Address Field. Instead of typing the URL you can just enter a short nickname to open the bookmarked web page.

Open the Bookmarks Panel.
Open the folder containing the bookmark you want to give a nickname to.
Long-press the bookmark.
Select Edit bookmark.
Enter the nickname.

To restore a bookmark:

Open the Bookmarks Panel;
Tap on the Back button in the top left corner to move out of the Bookmarks folder;

Import bookmarks

To import bookmarks from a Vivaldi on another device, such as desktop computer, use the Sync feature with the same account on both devices.

It’s unfortunately not possible to import bookmarks directly from another browser app on an Android device. If you use the other browser also on desktop and have synced the data, you can import the bookmarks from the source browser to Vivaldi on desktop and then Sync them with your mobile device.
