To make Vivaldi the default browser:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Startup > Default Browser;
  2. Click on Set as Default to open Windows’ default app settings;
  3. Find Web Browser in the list;
  4. Select Vivaldi to be the default web browser on your computer.

In case you see Vivaldi is set as your default browser instead of Set as Default button in General settings, then Vivaldi already is your default browser.


Default browser check on startup

When Vivaldi isn’t your default browser, every time you open the browser you’ll be asked whether you want to make Vivaldi the default browser. To disable that notification:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Startup > Default Browser;
  2. Disable Check on Startup.
