Hello @claibookish and welcome to our forums!
To add an open web page to your Android device's home screen, tap on the Vivaldi menu button and select Add to Home screen from the menu. You can edit the title of the shortcut if you wish.
To add an open web page to your bookmarks on Android, tap on the Vivaldi menu button and then tap on the ribbon icon. You’ll get a notification on the bottom of the screen, telling you in which folder the bookmark was saved. If you wish to change the folder, name, description, and/or nickname, tap on Edit.
For more information, please visit the Bookmarks on Android help page.
@ecm Sad to say, but on Vivaldi Mobile 4.2.2414.27 (Android 10 / Red Mi Note 7) i have not such distortion of video, and not on Windows 10 – i checked the URLs for both OS.

Hi, if you sync for the first time a dialogue appear:
64d5166a-62d2-45f7-a8ad-a401481f7ce9-image.png
It ask what you want to sync, after choose what you need and confirm your data are uploaded to the server.
Sync in general merge the data, if you add another device with different bookmarks it will add them to your existing bookmarks, for example.
It is always a good idea to backup your profile folder, sync does a lot but not all settings and data are synced.
Path to the profile folder is published in File > Help > About

It's currently not possible to block images on the Android version of Vivaldi.
There are two related feature requests that you can vote for:
Image control
Data Saver mode
@wojinrina said in Problem with Youtube in Vivaldi:
Starting today, I've found myself unable to watch Youtube specifically in Vivaldi. When I go to a video, I get an infinite loading spinner. However, if I open the same video in another web browser like Edge, it plays just fine.
Steps taken:
Disabled all extensions
Disabled the ad and tracking blocker
Cleared cache and cookies
Upgraded from latest stable to latest snapshot (least likely to have helped, but whatever. I don't mind snapshot builds) https://9apps.ooo/
Creation of a new user profile (While the new profile initially worked, once Vivaldi sync finished downloading everything, I was back to no Youtube)
Nothing has worked thus far. Is this an issue anyone else has come across? I really do not want to use Edge for Youtube.
issue got solved!!

@Gerry3941 said in "download error":
It would seem of late I'm unable to down such documents such as pdfs etc. The message after attempting is " download error". This only happens on an Android tablet, the Windows laptop is fine. A search in Settings does reveal anything wrong there.
I have the same issue with *.Pdfs.
Latest stable release, Android 11, Moto g8 power.
I confirm same issue for me. Only on pdf's files. The download process ends with error. You can try at this link
IMPORTANT
Despite the error message I go to the Downloads tab (where all the Vivaldi downloads are listed) and then I try to share the document with my Telegram "saved message" chat. Well, in this case the pdf is saved and works.

PS
Could be the idi0t Scoped Storage introduced by G in Android 11 devices (?)
@RudolfVon
I feel like this bug is different from bug that was fixed for 4.2 RC1 (VAB-4431):
