To search for a specific term or phrase on a webpage, use the browser’s Find in Page feature.

To search a webpage in Vivaldi:

1. Open the search field:
   • with a Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl / Cmd + F;
   • by going to the Vivaldi menu > Edit > Find in Page;
   • by opening Quick Commands and typing ‘Find in page‘;
   • by using a Mouse Gesture. The gesture needs to be created first in Settings > Mouse Gestures > Gesture Mapping.
2. A search field will open on top of the webpage and below the Address Bar;
3. Enter the search term and press Enter;
4. To navigate between the results, use:
   • arrow buttons next to the search field;
   • Keyboard Shortcuts Enter or F3 to move to the next search result and Shift + F3 to move to the previous result.
   • Quick Commands by typing ‘Find Next in Page’ and ‘Find Previous in Page’;
   • Mouse Gestures you’ve created for the actions.

If the focused search result (orange background) is a link, it can be opened instantly using Ctrl + Enter.

To close the search field, click the Close button on the Find in Page bar or press Esc.

By default, Vivaldi blocks advertisements on sites with abusive ad practices, such as ads which are purposefully misleading users and ads using abusive technologies  – for example, pop-ups that prevent you from leaving the site.

The abusive ad-blocker feature can be disabled in Settings > Privacy and Security > Tracking Prevention > Block Ads on Abusive Sites, but we strongly advise you to keep it enabled.

The abusive ad-blocker gives the browser access to a blocklist which is hosted on our end-to-end encrypted servers. It is updated from the server automatically by the browser, and applied to intrusive websites without needing to contact the server each time.

If you’re looking for additional content blocking options, consider enabling Vivaldi’s Tracker and Ad Blocker or using an Extension.

Page Actions are custom filters that modify the look of a page. They allow you to make adjustments to individual webpages, and to make browsing more effective and focused on your individual needs. Page Actions are great for accessibility.

To apply an action, click on the Page Actions button on the right side of the Status Bar and select the one you want to use. Alternatively, type the action’s name in Quick Commands, or create a Keyboard Shortcut or a Mouse Gesture to toggle your favorite actions on and off.

The action will only be applied to the active Tab and won’t be disabled if you navigate to a different website in that tab. In many cases, multiple page actions can be applied simultaneously.

When you turn off a Page Action, the page will reload.

Available Page Actions

• CSS Debugger – outlines various element types for a simple CSS inspection;
• Filter Black and White – turns the page into black and white;
• Filter Grayscale – changes the page’s colors to grayscale;
• Filter Intensity – adds saturation and contrast to the images on the site;
• Filter Invert – flips the page colors (i.e. turns white to black);
• Filter Obscure – hides the content by blurring the page when the mouse cursor is moved outside of the window;
• Filter Sepia – changes the page’s color scheme to reddish-brown;
• Fonts Monospace – forces the text to be displayed in a monospace font. You can change the used font in Settings > Webpages > Fonts > Monospace;
• Highlight Focus – displays a box around the focused content;
• Highlight Hover – displays a box around the content the mouse cursor is hovering over;
• Inline Access Keys – shows the available keyboard shortcuts to interact with the website’s key features;
• Page Minimap – shows a miniature schematic of the current page with visible area highlighted. Click or drag on the map to change your location on the page.
• Skewed Images – tilts images at an angle;
• Transform 3D – distorts the whole page on hover;
• Transition Forced – makes transitions more prominent;
• Transition Removed – disables transitions;

• Copies – Change the number if you need more than one copy of the page.
• Choose layout – Choose between portrait and landscape.
• Color – If you have a color printer, but want to print the page in grayscale, select Black and White.

• Paper size –  To make the print fit perfectly, change the paper size to match the paper you’re printing on.
• Pages per sheet – Fit more on less paper.
• Margins – Determine, how much space should be between the edge of the paper and printable content. Be careful to leave enough space as most printers won’t print very close to the edge.
• Scale – Zoom in for bigger text and zoom out for the opposite.
• Headers and footers – Decide, whether you want to print the date, title and URL.
• Two-sided – In case your printer can print on both sides of the paper, you can

Print with Reader View

Many websites, especially news sites, strip the printable page of irrelevant content. In case the web page you’re trying to print doesn’t do that, you can switch to Reader View, which will remove unnecessary sections and lets you print just the article. In addition, by using Reader View, you can adjust the font, font size, and line height before printing.

Print with Screen Capture

To print the whole website or sections of it, use Vivaldi’s Screen Capture tool to take the screenshot and print the saved file.

It’s always good to keep your browser up to date in order to enjoy the newest features and get the latest bug fixes and security updates. A new version of Vivaldi is released roughly every 8 weeks, with a few minor updates in between.

Here’s how to update your Vivaldi browser:

If, after an update, the browser doesn’t function as it used to, try troubleshooting the issue. It’s strongly discouraged to downgrade to an older version as it can corrupt the browser profile and cause issues, if not immediately, then in the future.

Cookies are small pieces of data (text files) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information.

To adjust cookie settings globally:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Website Permissions > Global Permissions > Cookies.
2. Decide whether you want to accept all cookies, only allow them for the current session, or never accept them.

Third-Party Cookies

1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security> Cookies > Third-Party Cookies.
2. Select Block All.

Do Not Track

In Settings > Privacy, you can also enable the option Ask Websites Not to Track Me. It’s a polite way to ask websites not to set tracking cookies. However, they can simply ignore it, and in most cases, the ones you want to avoid will be the ones who do not respect your request.

Hide Cookie warnings

Since Europe’s GDPR and a few other user privacy laws don’t allow placing cookies in your browser without consent, most websites ask for your permission as the first thing after the web page is loaded. The fastest option is to just accept everything, which always serves the interests of the website not the user. The other option is to manage your preferences and disable the data usage options all at once, if you’re lucky, or one by one, if the website wants to make it especially cumbersome.

Vivaldi offers a third option by including two blocker lists in the Ad Blocker that hide annoying cookie banners and dialogs on most websites.

To enable these lists:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Tracker and Ad Blocking;
2. Enable Block Trackers and Ads;
3. Click on Manage Sources;
4. In Ad Blocking Sources, enable “Remove cookie warnings (Easylist Cookie List)”.

If you only wish to hide the cookie warnings, but don’t want to block ads, disable other blocking sources.

Please note that not all cookies are used for creating behavioral profiles about users. Some are necessary for the website to function. When the website you’re viewing doesn’t look or work as it should, please disable the blockers. You can do so per site from the Content Blocker menu on the Address Bar.

User profiles allow multiple “users” to share one Vivaldi installation, without requiring you to log in to a different operating system user account, or maintain multiple Standalone installations.

Each profile can have a different set of Extensions, Bookmarks, Speed Dials, Cookies, History, etc.  In addition, each profile can have its own look and configuration (Keyboard Shortcuts, Mouse Gestures, etc.).

If a second profile is needed only briefly, for example, for a friend to use your browser (without messing up your setup or interacting with your open tabs), use a temporary Guest Profile.

Add a new profile
