Some permissions in the app are enabled by default, others are blocked and in many cases a website will ask for your permission, for example, to access your device’s camera and microphone, to show you notifications, etc.

To review and adjust your preferences for each of the settings:

1. Go to the Vivaldi menu > Settings > Web pages > Site Settings.
2. Tap on the permission in the list to see your options.

If a website has asked for permission, it will be listed on the permission’s page, from where you can adjust your choice by tapping on the domain name. In many cases you can also add exceptions to the default setting.

Vivaldi’s Windows Panel offers an easy way to manage multiple tabs at once.

Browse in multiple windows in Vivaldi on Android, just like on desktop.

Main Menu in Vivaldi on Android gives you access to most of Vivaldi’s key features and tools.

Access the Main Menu

Whether you’re using the browser on a small phone screen, a large tablet screen or from your car’s center console, the menu can always be accessed from the right side of the Address Bar. Just tap on the Vivaldi logo to open it. The options available in the menu depend on whether you have open a web page or the browser’s Start Page.

To close the menu, tap on the feature you want to use or on an area outside the menu.

---

Customize the menu

On smaller screens, in the Main Menu, there’s a menu bar with 5 of the most important menu options. There’s more screen real estate on larger screens, so the menu bar is not available on tablets and the like. Since the importance depends on the person using the browser, you can customize the menu bar to fit your needs.

To customize the menu:

1. Go to Vivaldi Menu > Settings > General > Menu Settings.
2. Choose between the 2 presets or make your own menu.

To put together your own custom layout for the menu bar:

1. In the Main Menu Layout settings, choose the third option, Custom layout.
2. Move the menu items you want to see on the menu bar to the first 5 positions in the list.
   To reorder menu items, long press on the item you want to move and drag it to your preferred position.

On desktop, Ctrl+F / ⌘ F is a well known Keyboard Shortcut for searching through the open web page. On mobile devices, where the screens fit even less content in the visible area, being able to just search for a keyword is even more useful.

To search in Vivaldi on Android:

1. Open the  Vivaldi menu.
2. Select Find in Page.
3. Enter your search keyword.

Search results will start showing as you type. Use the arrows in the top right corner to move to the  previous and  next results. Tap on the , when you’re done with your search.

Trouble updating the profile?
