Android - Home page avoid speedial at startup
-
Hello,
I try to find a solution to avoid speedial at startup or new tab in Vivaldi for Android but it seems it is not so customizable than on desktop computer.
Is there an "android vivaldi setting way" to always force a specific home web page at startup ?
Do not tell me about android home shortcut feature, because it messes with tab and ap icon.
Than you

Do you mean this is not what you want?

No. This seems to be the right feature but when you add a custom url, Vivaldi continues to startup with speedial and continue to open the speedial when you request a new tab. So 2 options :
- Something does not work as intended
- I did not understood how it should work
Only the home button in Vivaldi seems to be affected. But at startup it is annoying to reach the home button each time you launch the app.

@StephZarx With this setting, reboot, you can start Vivaldi from the home page when you open it for the first time. But then opening a new blank tab is still the speed dial page.
-
On my side, even at the first startup it opens speedial and not the custom home page.
My version is Vivaldi 5.3.2683.43 and no newer version is available.

Hi, do you have click on the Home button?
If not vivaldi start with the speed dial page and ignore the setting.Cheers mib

@mib2berlin , the home button start the correct custom web page. But find the home button is a pain and start on a useless speedial page is not very ergonomic on my side.
On Vivaldi desktop version it is possible to have the correct behaviour but there is another setting to tell "disable speedial". Is there a way to request this feature on android ?

Hm, this is the biggest button of the Vivaldi UI but I meant something different. If I use the home button once Vivaldi starts every time with the page I set. -
@mib2berlin on my side when Vivaldi start with the speedial, at the bottom it is not the home button but the search button.
This search buttom turn to the home button when a real web page is loaded.
If I want the home button I need to tap the Vivaldi icon and then find the home button...
So I think you can understand my "problem". And I would like to know why the custom web page is not loaded directly at the first start.
And with all this discussion I do not understand what is the correct Vivaldi version because on playstore, for me it is 5.3.2683.43 and this version does not seem to be the real last one for android right ?

@Aaron is there any option to get the homepage everytime restarting the browser instead of last opened tab?
I know we can do that by clicking 'exit' button.
But without that, is there any option like if we just close back button and close app and after that when we open browser again we see the homepage instead of last opened tab?
-
@StephZarx Yes. Stephzarx is correct.
I see the same issue on my Samsung S22. -

Hi and yes, open a new tab always open the speed dial page, I don´t understand the question at this time.
The startpage setting only set the page at Vivaldi start up.
There is an old feature request from 2020 but nobody vote for it, maybe you create a new one with a better title and description.https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/54353/open-homepage-to-new-tab
