When you move the Address and Tab Bars to the bottom edge of the screen, the Navigation Bar, together with some useful buttons, will be hidden. For example, the one taking you back to the Start Page. Luckily, there’s a setting in Vivaldi on Android that you can toggle to bring it back.

To add a Home button to the Address Bar:

1. Go to Settings > Appearance & Theme.
2. Enable «Show Start Page Icon in Address Bar».

If you want to open a website instead of the Start Page when tapping on the Home button (and New Tab button), go to Settings > General > Homepage to set the web page link.

Vivaldi Translate helps to broaden your horizons and make sense of content that hasn’t been written in languages that you speak. When you paste text into the Translate Panel, instead of getting the translation only after clicking the Translate button, you can enable a setting that shows you the translated version immediately.

To enable automatic translation:

1. Go to Settings > Panel > Translate Panel.
2. Enable «Translate when pasting text».

Usually, when you’re finished searching for something on a web page, to close it, you need to click the close button on the search bar or press the Esc key (which works when the search bar is focused). But there’s a setting in Vivaldi that allows you to open and close the Find in Page search bar with the same Keyboard Shortcut, Mouse Gesture, or Quick Command.

To enable the setting:

1. Go to Settings > Webpages.
2. Enable «Toggle Find in Page when using Shortcut».

While customizing the appearance of the Start Page is fun, you probably don’t do it very often. The same goes for manually adding new Speed Dial bookmarks. If that’s the case, feel free to hide one or both of the buttons in Vivaldi on Android and iOS and use alternative routes on occasions you do need to access these features.

To hide the buttons from the Start Page:

1. Tap on the «Customize» button on the Start Page.
   Alternatively, go to Settings > Start Page.
2. Toggle off «Customize Start Page Button» and/or «Show Add Button».

When these buttons have been hidden, tap on the 3 dot menu in the top right corner of the Start Page and select «Customize Start Page» to access customization settings. To add new Speed Dial bookmarks, select the right Speed Dial folder when adding an open web page as a bookmark or add one manually in the Bookmarks Panel.

To make account registration and login faster, some websites offer to create accounts using a third-party service, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. When you’re logged into one of the aforementioned sites, you’ll notice sign-in prompts popping up on websites that have implemented third-party sign-ins.

It may be easy to create an account that way, but it does allow the service providers to track and profile you, and the website may get access to personal data you might not have shared using their own sign-up form, to name just a couple of risks.

If you won’t be using this sign-in method and prefer not to see these prompts either, you can block them.

To disable third-party sign-in prompts:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Website Permissions > Global Permissions.
2. Locate «Third-Party Sign-In» on the list of permissions and select «Block».

When you view a post from another instance on Vivaldi Social, the page’s URL includes Vivaldi Social’s domain in the URL. When you’re sharing the post with someone, it’s best to share a direct link to the post, which will take the recipient straight to the original post on its home instance.

To get the post’s direct link:

1. Click on the  3 dot menu button below the post.
2. Select «Copy link to status».

In addition to the browser being controlled with Keyboard Shortcuts, web pages can have their own set of shortcuts which can sometimes overlap with the browser’s shortcuts. In that case, shortcuts will trigger actions on the web page.

To give browser priority over shortcuts:

1. Go to Settings > Keyboard > Browser Priority Shortcuts.
2. Add shortcuts that should trigger actions in the browser, even when the web page uses the same shortcut.

2. Start dragging.
3. Move the link to where you want to save it on the Bookmark Bar or in the Bookmark Panel (needs to be opened, before you start dragging).

In addition to auto-filling login credentials on websites you’re browsing in the Vivaldi browser, you can auto-fill them in other apps on your iPhone and iPad.

To add the Passwords Manager widget:

1. Long-press on the home screen.
2. Tap on «Edit» in the top right corner and select «Add Widget».
3. Find Vivaldi and tap on it.
4. Swipe to the Password Manager option.
5. Tap «Add Widget».
