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.

Inactive Tabs
If you tend to open more and more new tabs, but hardly ever close any of them, then eventually you’ll end up with so many tabs that closing them one by one will take a while. Plus, having a large number of tabs open may start affecting performance and battery life.
In Vivaldi on iOS, inactive tabs will be moved to their section in the Tab Switcher. There you can review the tabs – either keep them around, close them one by one, or close them all at once.
By default, a tab will be set to inactive if you haven’t used it in the last 21 days, but you can select the interval for when a tab should be moved to the Inactive Tabs folder.
Select after how many days tabs should moved to the Inactive Tabs folder:
Never Move,
After 7 Days,
After 14 Days,
After 21 Days.
Recently Closed Tabs

Open the Vivaldi menu and select “Recent tabs”.
Tap on the link you want to reopen.
To open a recently closed tab in a new tab:
Open the Tab Switcher.
Navigate to the Closed Tabs tab.
Tap on the link you want to reopen.
Reorder Tabs
To change the order of your open Tabs in the Tab Switcher:
Long press on a tab you want to move.
Drag and drop the tab to its new location.
On the Tab Bar, long-press on the tab and drag the tab left or right.
Sync Tabs
The third tab in the Tab Switcher – Remote Sessions – will list all the tabs you have open on your other devices that you’ve Synced with the same Vivaldi account.
When you open a tab from Synced Tabs, it will be opened locally and listed with your other Tabs.
To learn more about syncing Remote Sessions, have a look at our help pages about Sync on Mobile and Sync on Desktop.
Private Tabs
When you browse using a Private Tab, Vivaldi will minimize what is stored locally on your phone so that very few traces are left of what you were browsing once you close all private browsing tabs.
Open private tabs
Option 1
Open the Vivaldi menu on the right side of the Address Bar.
Select New Private Tab.
Option 2
Open the Tab Switcher.
Slide to Private Tabs.
Tap on the + button in the middle of the bottom toolbar.

Select Open in Private.
Close Private Tabs
Open the Tab Switcher.
Tap on the Close button in the top right corner of the Tab thumbnail.
On the Tab Bar, tap on the Close button on the tab you’d like to close.
Break Mode allows you to pause the Internet and focus on something else until you’re ready to return. Enabling Break Mode mutes and stops HTML5 audio and videos, hides all Tabs, Panels and other content leaving the screen clean.
When you enable Break Mode, you’ll see an introductory pop-up notification describing the feature briefly and an option to edit the Keyboard Shortcut (Status Bar needs to be visible). To close the notification, click anywhere outside the pop-up. In case you don’t want to see the notification in the future, tick the box for Do not show again.

To return to what you were doing:

In the top right corner of the Panel, click Remove all Finished. Alternatively, right-click on one of the download entries and select Remove all Finished from the context menu.

Storage
In Vivaldi mail each account gets 10GB of storage space.
To see how much space you’ve used:
In the Mail view, look at the bottom left corner of the window, next to the Logout button.
You’ll see the percentage of used space immediately, but you can hover the mouse cursor over the section to see how many megabytes of the allocated 10GB you’ve used.
To see the size of specific folders:
Go to Settings > Folders > select a folder > Information > Size;
Click Click to get folder size.
When you start running out of space, you’ll get a warning, asking you to create more space by deleting some emails. When you reach the 10GB limit, new incoming emails won’t be delivered and the sender needs to send the email again after you’ve created enough space in your mailbox.
Folders
In the folder settings, you can add, edit and delete your mail folders. In addition, you can delete all message in your mail folders.
Archiving emails
To archive your emails:
Go to Settings > Preferences > Special Folders;
Select a folder for your archive (or create one first in Settings > Folders) and choose how to sort them into additional folders.
Select the email(s) you want to archive and click Archive on the menu above the email view.
Identities
In Vivaldi Mail all emails need to be delivered to and sent from [email protected]. This means that different aliases, unfortunately, can’t be used. But, if you have set your Vivaldi Mail up in a mail client, you may use plus addressing (also known as sub-addressing). With plus addressing you can add a keyword to your email address ([email protected]) which allows you to create different variations of the email address. Everything between the + and @ symbols is ignored when deciding, to which account the email belongs to. You can also create Filters with these addresses to automatically organise your emails into different folders.
Signature
To add a signature to your emails:
Go to Settings > Identities;
Select your identity;
Write your signature.
You can add either a Plain Text or HTML signature.
For additional signature options, go to Settings > Preferences > Composing emails > Signature Options.
Spellcheck
To check the spelling:
Select the email language from the small arrow next to Spell on the menu above the email composer.
Click Spell;
You can enable automatic spellcheck before sending an email and other options in Settings > Preferences > Composing Messages.
You can always access your mail from any browser on https://webmail.vivaldi.net/, but you can also set your mail account up in a desktop mail client or mail app on your mobile device.
There are many different mail clients available. To add your Vivaldi account to a mail client of your choice, follow the mail client’s instructions for adding a new account.
Select whether you want to verify yourself via OAuth or App-Specific Password.
Enter the relevant password and log in.
Once you’ve logged in, Vivaldi will start downloading your email messages and contacts. In Mail Settings you can also add a name, signature, enable prefetching full messages and check server settings.
OAuth vs App-Specific Password
Use OAuth when you haven’t enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your Vivaldi account. To use app passwords, you need to have 2FA enabled.
