Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are a great way to make a website feel like an independent app without actually needing to install a native app. Sometimes you may find yourself needing to view content from multiple PWA pages at once, though.

To open a page from the PWA’s domain in another window:

1. Right-click on the link.
2. Select « Open link in new [PWA name] window ».

There’s a neat little feature on iPhones and iPads, which you can use when you’ve made your way down a page to scroll all the way back to the top. You simply need to tap on the status bar at the top edge of the screen to return to the top of the page.

In Vivaldi, this means that you can quickly return to the start when you’ve scrolled on a web page for a while, made it far down the list on the Start Page or in Panels, or dug deep on longer Settings pages.

When you want to share someone’s post on Vivaldi Social, clicking the Boost button will open a menu where you can select whether to share the post without any additional context, i.e. Boost, or with added commentary, i.e. Quote.

   To skip the confirmation dialog, which allows you to change the boost’s visibility setting, also untick the box for « Control boosting visibility ».

We’re strong believers of the browser needing to adapt to you, not the other way around. That’s why in Vivaldi, the same action can often be executed in many different ways, so you could choose the one that works best for you.

Here are all the ways you can move a tab to a new window:

• Right-click on the tab on the Tab Bar and select Move > To New Window.
• Drag the tab off the Tab Bar, either outside the window or onto the web page area.
• While the tab you want to move is the active tab, type « Move Tab to New Window » in Quick Commands.
• Create a Keyboard Shortcut or a Mouse Gesture for the action.

And here are all the ways you can move a tab to an existing window:

• Right-click on the tab on the Tab Bar and select Move > Window with # Active Tabs.
• While two windows are side by side, drag the tab from one Tab Bar to the other.
• In the Windows and Tab Panel, drag the tab from one window section to the other.
