It makes browsing with Vivaldi easier when each instance you sync has a clear name. For example, you’ll find tabs open on other devices faster, and sending a single tab to another device is quicker too. When you start syncing, you can give the synced Vivaldi instance a name during login, but you can also rename the device when Sync is already active.

To rename the device on desktop:

1. Go to Settings > Sync.
2. Click the pencil icon next to the current device name.
3. Type in the new name and press «Enter».

To rename the device on Android or iOS:

1. Go to Settings > Sync.
2. Tap «Edit» next to the current device name.
3. Type in the new name.
4. Tap «Confirm».

To mark a page as unread:

1. Open the Reading List panel or Reading List pop-up.
2. Find the page you want to mark as unread.
3. Click on the eye icon next to the page title.

Similarly, by clicking the checkmark icon next to an unread page, you can mark it as read.

1. Open the note in the Notes Manager.
2. Go to the main Vivaldi menu > File > Print.

On Vivaldi Social, you can highlight posts by pinning them to the top of your profile. These can be introductions, big news, popular posts, or anything else you want to showcase. While browsing other people’s accounts, make sure to give their pinned posts a look as well. Since some have pinned a lot of them, pinned posts have been grouped into a carousel, so you wouldn’t need to spend too much time scrolling past them to get to the latest posts.

To view pinned posts:

1. Go to the account’s profile and scroll past the Bio section.
2. Click on the arrows in the top right corner of the Pinned Posts section to see the next or previous pinned post.

You can get a hint that the web page in the active tab is loading from the Address Field, which temporarily turns into a progress bar. In addition, you can see when a tab is loading on the Tab Bar. This is especially useful for your tabs in the background, which might be loading, for example, when you’ve set up Periodic Reload. There are a few animation options available, so you can select the one you like most.

To select an animation:

1. Go to Settings > Tabs > Tab Display > Page Load Progress.
2. Choose between:
   • Progress Bar

Opening the Vivaldi browser on Android or iOS and tapping on a Speed Dial is already a quick way to go to a bookmarked page, but what if you have a lot of Speed Dials or you haven’t added the bookmark to your Start Page? Then browsing through the bookmarks to find the right one can take longer.

When you give your bookmarks nicknames, on the other hand, you can open them quickly by typing the nickname in the search field. And why not do that directly from the Search Widget without opening the browser first?

To add the Search Widget on mobile check out the instrcutions for Android here and for iOS here.

To give a bookmark a nickname:

1. Open the Bookmarks Panel.
2. Find the bookmark you want to give a nickname to.
3. Long-press on it and select «Edit» (pencil icon on Android).
4. Give the bookmark a short nickname.
5. Tap «Done».

To open a bookmarked website from the widget.

1. Tap on the Search Widget on the home screen.

3. Tap «Go».
