Yes, I literally turned Jackie Chan into WTF for this. You're not welcome. Apologies to Jackie.

Tip #736

Choose the Speed Dial group you want to open the Start Page with.

We all have our preferred workflows and it’s great when the tools you use are able to adapt to that workflow. That’s why in Vivaldi you can choose what gets shown to you when you open the Start Page. Is it always the Speed Dial with your most important bookmarks or is it the one you viewed most recently?

To choose the view the Start Page is opened with:

  1. Go to Settings > Start Page > Reopen Speed Dial with.
  2. Select between:
    • Last Selected Group,
    • First Group (reorder groups using drag and drop on the navigation bar).

#StartPage 元々使っていたけどいまは #Ecosia をメインに設定してる。
#Ecosia の利用も #Vivaldi :vivaldi_red: の収益になるはずなのと、#Ecosia は地味に検索結果を Google と Bing から選べたりしたはず :tony_normal:

まあ自分が #Ecosia 使ってるのは新しくできた、画面右上の種がカウントされていくUI が可愛いというのも結構ある :tony_smiling:

Vivaldi SocialVivaldi (@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net)📢お知らせ 日本語版Vivaldi（💻📱両方）デフォルト検索エンジンを本日よりStartpageに変更します。Startpageはオランダの会社が運営するプライバシー最優先の検索エンジンです。日本語UI対応を機に、他国語版Vivaldiと同様にデフォルトを変更しました。 詳細は記事にて👇 https://vivaldi.com/ja/blog/vivaldi-japan-default-search-startpage/

I paid for an annual #StartMail (by #Startpage) subscription back in January, but the experience so far has been very subpar… It’s missing both basic (e.g. displaying emails in conversation/thread format) and advanced (e.g. calendar) features 🙃

I’m happy that I can use “Add to Home Screen” instead of downloading another app, but the webmail UX is very clunky and the MFA UX is garbage (every time I open it, I have to open Bitwarden, search, then copy/paste the code). support.startmail.com/hc/en-us

Startpage is a search engine that has been promoted as a European alternative to Google Search.

This is a misleading statement.

Does anyone know of a search engine that doesn't have that much AI slop? I've been using DDG, but results have been getting bad of late. Finding a website I recognize is hard. I stopped using startpage under concern that it was using google's increased water from AI. But yeah.

At the same time, something with too obscure of answers might not work for my job. So I dunno.

久しぶりに #DuckDuckGo 使ってたけど、Safe Search を Strict に設定しても、検索結果にいかがわしい広告に溢れたサイトとかが結構出てきてしまうな…
#Ecosia とか #StartPage とかは #Google をソースに検索結果作ってる事もあってか、特に日本語の検索結果でもそういう部分はそれなりに望ましい結果になっている印象。
#DuckDuckGo はもともとその昔は日本語検索にも若干難があった（結果に出てくる文字が異様に少ないみたいな表示問題）時もあったし、気長に改善待つしかないんだろうけど、こういう感じだととりあえずデフォルト検索エンジンは #Ecosia に戻すか…

Tip #692

Bring back the Home button when moving the Address Bar to the bottom in Vivaldi on Android.

When you move the Address and Tab Bars to the bottom edge of the screen, the Navigation Bar, together with some useful buttons, will be hidden. For example, the one taking you back to the Start Page. Luckily, there’s a setting in Vivaldi on Android that you can toggle to bring it back.

To add a Home button to the Address Bar:

  1. Go to Settings > Appearance & Theme.
  2. Enable “Show Start Page Icon in Address Bar”.

If you want to open a website instead of the Start Page when tapping on the Home button (and New Tab button), go to Settings > General > Homepage to set the web page link.

Tip #689

Hide seldom used buttons on Vivaldi’s Start Page on your mobile for a cleaner look.

While customizing the appearance of the Start Page is fun, you probably don’t do it very often. The same goes for manually adding new Speed Dial bookmarks. If that’s the case, feel free to hide one or both of the buttons in Vivaldi on Android and iOS and use alternative routes on occasions you do need to access these features.

To hide the buttons from the Start Page:

  1. Tap on the “Customize” button on the Start Page.
    Alternatively, go to Settings > Start Page.
  2. Toggle off “Customize Start Page Button” and/or “Show Add Button”.

When these buttons have been hidden, tap on the 3 dot menu in the top right corner of the Start Page and select “Customize Start Page” to access customization settings. To add new Speed Dial bookmarks, select the right Speed Dial folder when adding an open web page as a bookmark or add one manually in the Bookmarks Panel.

I have been using #vivaldi for about a week now and I enjoy it. However the default search engine is awful. #startpage is garbage. I get their premise and wish them luck, but when I search for blue sky - the first link should be bluesky. Instead I got 5 links that have nothing to do with bluesky.
