Reading List Panel

Contents hide

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.

Access the Reading List Panel

To open the Reading List Panel:

Click on the Reading List panel button on the side of your browser window.
Go to the Vivaldi menu > View > Reading List Panel.
Type “Reading List Panel” in Quick Commands.
Create a Keyboard Shortcut or a Mouse Gesture for the action.

Add pages to the Reading List

To add an open web page to the Reading List:

Open the Reading List Panel.

Alternatively:
