Tip #792

Open the Tab Switcher in Vivaldi on iOS with a swipe on the Address Bar.

Whenever you want to get a good overview of all your standard, private, synced, etc. tabs, the Tab Switcher is the place to go.

To enable Address Bar swipe gesture:

Once the setting is enabled, all you need to do is swipe from the Address Bar towards the page to open the Tab Switcher. In other words, swipe down when the Address Bar is at the top and swipe up when the Address Bar is at the bottom of the screen.

Tip #767

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!

Tip #761

Search tabs, bookmarks and history using Shortcuts Nicknames in the Address Field.

In addition to searching for web content with a search engine, you can use the Address Field to search for Bookmarks, open Tabs, and History.

To filter searches in the Address Field:

Prefer using Quick Commands? See how to filter searches there in Tip #323.

I might be a bit late with this but WTF happened to the #firefox #addressBar ??!
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/address-bar/

Do they even read or test what they write?
With the old design I was simply typing what I wanted to search for. Hit enter if it’s a “normal” search or use arrow keys to quickly select e.g. a dictionary or Wikipedia.

Now all my search engines are hidden in this shitty dropdown and I need to hit Shift+Tab and then the arrow keys, it’s so more complicated!

I have learnt from end users twice in the last month that they don't use the address bar in their browsers. If they cant get to a search engine from their home tab, apparently their browser is useless to them. WTF

For anyone else who uses Firefox, and heard about https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/address-bar/ and was wondering why e.g. @bookmarks wasn't working in their address bar, I happened upon the reason in my setup last night.

My profile has:

Bookmarks: *
Tabs: %
History: ^

as the shortcuts, rather than what's cited in that article. I can only guess this is because my profile is so old, having gone through *many* versions of Firefox.

You can check yours under "search shortcuts" in the settings (put that in the settings search box).

Tip #709

Choose how many suggestions you see in the Address Field’s drop-down menu.

In case the default 12 suggestions in the Address Field drop-down menu are not enough for you, you can increase the number of results all the way to 42 or go in the opposite direction and limit the number of suggestions to only the top 5.

To change the number of suggestions:

Tip #705

Keep your website visits and searches separate by disabling searches in the Address Field.

In Vivaldi, you can compartmentalize what you search for online from the web pages you visit by only allowing going to web links in the Address Field. When searching is disabled in the Address Field, you can search the web by adding a dedicated Search Field to the Address Bar or by using Quick Commands.

To disable searching in the Address Field:

To add the Search Field to the Address Bar:
