Changing website permissions per website

When a website needs access, for example, to your camera, a notification dialog will be displayed below the right side of the Address Field. Make a decision to either allow or deny the website permission to access your camera. Vivaldi will remember when you deny permission and will block the website from asking you the same question again.

In case the dialog closed before you could decide, click on the permission icon to the right of the Address Bar (the one with the red mark on the image above) to display it again.

To review and update permissions for sites you’ve granted or denied access to:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Website permissions.
2. Select a domain from the list.
3. Use the drop-down menu next to each permission type to update it.
