Matreshka, or integrating Vivaldi into Vivaldi

Hello! For many of us, Vivaldi has become the main application that runs all day without a break. This is understandable: today, almost all activity on a computer is somehow tied to the Internet, and here the browser is simply indispensable. But in addition to the browser, we also offer you the vivaldi.net portal, where all members of the Vivaldi browser community can chat, read news, get fresh test builds and perform many other important tasks. In other words, you enter the portal every day, so a natural question arises: is it possible to integrate these features of vivaldi.net into the Vivaldi browser itself? In short, the answer is yes, of course you can. Below you will learn a little more about how to do this.

Forum

Perhaps the most popular section of our portal is the forum. Recently it has been updated, it has become more convenient and faster, and also got a mobile version, which is very useful for our today's task. So, open the forum page in the Vivaldi browser (you can choose another page):

https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/20/

And then create the web panel of this page (use the plus button on the sidebar). And ... everything. We get a forum in the mobile form, which is always at hand:
')

You can set a convenient size of the panel width and fix it for this web panel (the “Custom Width” option in the context menu of the web panel). Now the forum will always be just a click away. Conveniently.

Official blog

Next is the official blog. Articles in Russian are published quite regularly; you can also put this page in the sidebar in a way already known. To do this, use the following link:

https://vivaldi.net/ru/userblogs/categories/vivaldi

We save the panel, set our width and get a constantly updated list of official announcements of test and stable assemblies, as well as useful articles in Russian at the click of a button:


By the way, in the same way, you can also place in the sidebar an English-speaking official blog of developers - there you can not only read announcements of new versions, but also articles on other topics prepared by Vivaldi Technologies employees:

Vivaldi Mail

One of the most popular requests from users is to add a built-in mail client to the Vivaldi browser. We are working on this practically from the first day of development, but we are not yet ready to show results - we want to bring a new mailer to a decent look, and only then submit it to you. But as a temporary solution, you can embed in your browser an email service Vivaldi Mail, which is available on our portal and is available free of charge for each user. It is simple and unpretentious, but it is quite suitable for the most basic postal needs.

So, open the mailer:

https://webmail.vivaldi.net/

And add it in the form of a web panel. We get the desired result:



Moreover, this email service also has a mobile version, which is automatically selected for the web panel. As a result, it is convenient to work with the mailer, to receive and send letters:


Ignoring the paranoia of the above pictures, we turn to an equally important topic:

Error Reporting Form

Many of us not only use the browser, but also help developers make it better. This implies sending error messages. To keep in mind the link to the online form of bug reports:

https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/

You can put it in the form of a web panel right in the browser - then it will be at hand at any time, as soon as you find the error and decide to tell the developers about it:


That's all for today. We hope that our tips will make your work on the network a little more comfortable, and also help you discover the many new features of this handy Vivaldi browser.
