Reading List allows you to add web pages to a list to keep for later. It prevents endless tabs from accumulating on your Tab Bar and Bookmarks being filled with entries you only need once.

Though, there are similar services out there, Vivaldi’s Reading List doesn’t require an Extension nor do you need to sign up for an account.

Add a Reading List button to the User Interface

To add the button to one of the Toolbars:

  1. Go to the Vivaldi menu button Vivaldi Menu > View > Customize Toolbar.
  2. Drag the Reading List button to your preferred location on the Address Bar or Status Bar.

Then you can access and manage your Reading List from a popup

Section of the Address Bar showing the Reading List button.
