Solved Home button is gone?
-
Hello,
I recently updated Vivaldi on my Android device to the latest version, and I've noticed that the home button, which usually leads to the speed dial menu, is missing. Is there a setting or a way to bring it back?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Search at the Menu,
It can be Readded from there as well as Panels. -

Hi and no, you cant enable it with a setting.
The Vivaldi team has rearranged the address bar, in my opinion a bad design decision for the address bar on bottom users.
Customize the Vivaldi menu and add the home button to the menu bar as workaround.Cheers, mib

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, my menu bar is already customized with the five buttons I regularly use, leaving no space for a home button.

This is an absolutely awful change! Before I could easily get to all speed dials with one hand, now it's impossible to use this browser with one hand
The home button needs to come back ASAP, and then you should make the entire bar customizable. I don't need the "privacy" button there, and I prefer the icons to the left.
Do people really use the "shield" button on a daily basis? I use it max once a week, while the home button is used at least 10x daily.
Does anyone know how to get the old version?

Hi, they should fix my reported bugs first.
I don't know if installing an older version break your user profile, on desktop it does.
Anyway, check:https://vivaldi.com/de/download/archive/

Very bad decision by the developers, this change kills the flow. Hoping it comes back quickly...

Very bad decision

Yea, definitely don't like the change. The ability to bring back the home button would be appreciated.

Agree 100%. Put the shield options in the menu accessed by clicking just left of the URL. I'd actually prefer the home button to be where the shield button is now as it would be much easier to access with my thumb than all the way to the left.

I'm waiting for the panel buttons to come back as well.
so they did kill the panel button. I assume the translate panel is gone too then.
-
this is indeed unfortunate. now the quickest is two clicks away instead of 1 to access speed dial
-
@Maxrunner actually it's there in wider screen. When I rotate my screen, it show up. But yeah, bad design ... sigh
-
This is the worst decision ever. Who would ever come up with ther insane idea to remove the Home button? What's the harm there by keeping the Home button? Just for rearanging the address bar? How hard could that be? Really, every other browser that I'm familiar with, contains a Home button. I just don't get it; Vivaldi should reconcider this awful dicision!

Hi, I guess you use address bar at bottom, there is a new setting: Show Startpage Icon in Address Bar.
With default settings the Home button is in the address bar anyway.Cheers, mib
-
I'm sorry man, could you please be a little more specific for me (as in where to find it and/or what to do)? I've searched the menu a thousand times already, before posting my "cry for help" here on our forum... So apparently I'm missing this...
-
Hey man,
My address bar is at the top. I've looked for the new setting you are talking about, but I couldn't find this setting possibillity anywhere or where to activate this at all.
Also, I wanted to check if I'm using the latest Vivaldi version. As I remember I could find the update possibillity from the rolldown menu when clicking the "V" in the top left corner. Now, this option seems to be gone as well. (??)
BTW, does this Startpage Icon just activate the Vivaldi startpage, or would this be the startpage of my choosing? Naturally, I prefer the latter.
Looking forward to your reply.
Robert
