It's weird, it's really not working.

Then I can use the bookmarklet:

javascript:(function () { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/eruda"; document.body.appendChild(script); script.onload = function () { eruda.init() } })();

@yeswap said in Is it possible to make a shortcut?:

@Onweerwolf A shortcut is just a bookmark on the homescreen. It opens a URL in the browser. It sounds like you are looking for something like Native Alpha https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid

Not that is not at all what I'm looking for. I want a shortcut that functions the way it is supposed to function.

@deepflux Feature as described here: https://help.vivaldi.com/android/android-browse/pop-out-video-on-android/

I feel free to bump this every year until it'll eventually happen. We really need it, I don't want anymore to read on PC, it's not 98 now.

@CrustyBumbler
OK, I cant confirm the reports but add tags and a link here.

Cheers, mib

I agree, for me this behaviour is also annoying, luckily there is at least toast message telling that 2nd time will close the browser, otherwise i would be closing it all the time by mistake.

If Vivaldi team would like to have this as default behaviour, so please provide option to change it in settings.

Hi, I can reach it from latest stable, you can see a Go board without login.

These flags appear to be missing in 7.2.3628.68 (Stable channel) (64-bit) . But behavior is as expected.

As someone who was affected by the bug, I wanted to note that the most recent update seems to have fixed it. I did have to kill Vivaldi by swiping it off of the recent tasks view and then open it again for Facebook to load properly with the mobile view. Restarting your device would also work. Switching back from the desktop view and refreshing didn't seem to work.

Device: Pixel 8 Pro
OS: Android 15 (latest)

@jane-n said in Edit Vivaldi (V) menu layout on tablet:

Thanks for the feedback, we'll take this into consideration.

Thank you, Jane, for responding to fast! But from other discussions, I see that even frequently repeated user demands are not implemented, not even after many years. So I would be very interested to get a solution now. Do you see a possibility how I can switch my Vivaldi for Android browser from tablet to phone while still using my 7.4" Samsung Fold 5, to get the better features from the phone version, specifically the menu customization feature discussed in this thread? it is really inefficient to lose a lot of time by going down the big menu dozens of times a day just to get most frequently used functions such as search within page.

As for the Share button, you can already add it to the Address Bar from Settings > Appearance & Theme > Toolbar Shortcut.

Yes, sorry, I have seen this in all the chaos once but forgot about it. Thank you for reminding. I have a specific question about this: Vivaldi has an inconsistent behavior. Sometimes I can copy the link by tapping into the address bar and then tap on the copy icon:

But at other times, I did not get this. tapping into the address bar, the keyboard opened and all I could do was to edit the address. There was a button to mark the entire address ("select all") and after pressing the button, I could copy it and then paste it somewhere else. This is really cumbersome. Now, Jane, I ask you: what makes it behave sometimes this way and sometimes that way? if I knew how to make it behave that way as shown in the image above, then that's all I need.

And... it works! Thank you!

@Grayswandyr

Thank you for reporting this issue.
I've confirmed it and forwarded it to the developers 👌

@Voko6503

If you haven't already, please update your Vivaldi to the latest version (7.2.3628.77) where you should no longer see this bug.

i'm not able to use vivaldi on android with proton pass. i'm able to open proton pass and choos the password but the username and password will not fill into the boxes
