Gain screen real estate by merging Address and Tab Bars.

Whether you’re working on a small laptop screen where every pixel counts or just prefer a more compact look, Vivaldi’s toolbar customisation settings are here to help you achieve a configuration that works for you.

To combine the Address Bar and the Tab Bars, you need to move components from the Address Bar to the Tab Bar. Here’s how!

  1. Open the Toolbar Editor from the main menu > View > Customize Toolbar, or right-click on a component on the toolbars and select Customize Toolbar.
  2. While the icons are wiggling in their place, drag components you regularly use from the Address Bar to the Tab Bar (or to other toolbars).
  3. When you see a line in your theme’s highlight color appear, drop the component to its new place.
  4. When you’re happy with the result, click “Done” in the editor window.
  5. Then, in the main menu > View, click on “Show Address bar” to hide the Address Bar.
Vivaldi browser window, where components from the Address and Tab Bars have been combined onto one toolbar.
