Tip #739

Choose a preferred DNS Over HTTPS provider.

In order to open a website, its IP address has to be fetched via a DNS (Domain Name System) provider. Secure DNS accesses DNS servers over HTTPS and encrypts all the data being transferred between your device and the DNS servers.

To choose a DNS provider in Vivaldi on desktop:

1. Go to Settings > Network.
2. Make sure DNS Lookup Over HTTPS is enabled.
3. Select your preferred provider.

Tip #734

Open web pages from Android apps’ embedded browsers in the main Vivaldi browser window.

Some mobile apps include embedded browsers aka in-app browsers that allow viewing web content without moving from the app to the browser. But there’s a way to open these links in your default browser as well. Viewing the page in Vivaldi allows you to use the browser’s features that are not available in the embedded browser, such as bookmarking the page, changing the zoom level, switching to reader mode, etc.

To open links in Vivaldi:

1. When you have the link open in the embedded browser, open the 3-dot menu in the top right corner.
2. Select “Open in Vivaldi”.

Tip #701

Automatically tile a new tab opened from a link on a web page with the current tab.

Whenever you need to view or compare the contents of two web pages, using the Tab Tiling feature in Vivaldi makes it very easy. But there are little tricks in Vivaldi that help to make tiling tabs even easier.

To tile a new tab with the current tab:

1. Go to Settings > Quick Commands > Command Chains.
2. Click on “Add Command Chain”.
3. Give the new chain a name and add the following commands:
   • “Open Link in New Tab” with {link_url} as the Command Parameter.
   • “Tile Vertically/Horizontally”.
4. Go to Settings > Appearance > Menu > Menu Customization.
5. Select Web Page > Link menu as the one you’re going to edit.
6. From the Commands list > Command Chains, drag the new chain you created to the Content column.

Then whenever you want to tile the new tab with the current tab, right-click on the link on the web page and select the option with your command chain’s name.

Tip #688

Disable third-party sign-in prompts on websites.

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”.
