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.
Enable Reading List
To enable the feature and add a button to the Address Bar:
- Go to Settings > Address Bar > Reading List.
- Enable
Show Reading List Button.
Reading List’s button will appear on the right side of the Address Bar, between the Search field and User Profile button.

Add pages to the Reading List
To add an open web page to the Reading List:
- Click on
Show the Reading List on the Address Bar and then on Add Current Page.
- Type “Add Page to Reading List” in Quick Commands.
- Create a Keyboard Shortcut or a Mouse Gesture for the action.
- On a web page, right-click on a link and select Add Link to Reading List.
View and manage articles on the list
To open an article from the Reading List:
- Click on
Show the Reading List on the Address Bar.
- Select an article you’d like to read.
- Click on the entry to open the article in a new tab.
Opened articles will be marked as read automatically and moved to the Read Articles section.

Mark articles as read / unread
To mark an article read without opening it:
- Click on
Show the Reading List on the Address Bar.

You can remove both unread and read articles from the Reading List. To do that:

Sync Reading List
Saved pages in your Reading List can be synced with Vivaldi on your other devices. (Currently available only on desktop.)
To sync your reading list:
- Go to Settings > Sync.
- Log in to your Vivaldi account.
- Sync either all data or make sure Reading List is enabled, when syncing only selected data.
Lists from different devices will be merged when synced.
Reading List Panel
In addition to the Reading List button on the Address Bar, you can use the feature in a Panel. Find out more about it on the Help page about the Reading List Panel.
