Reading List on iOS

This post is also available in: 日本語 Français Deutsch Српски Português Български 简体中文

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/Tab Switcher and Bookmarks from being filled with entries you only need once.

Though there are similar services out there, Vivaldi’s Reading List doesn’t require an external app nor do you need to sign up for an account. Also, you can keep your lists in sync on all Vivaldis on all your devices.
