Whether the translation is shown in a basic dialog or in the full-featured Translate Panel is up to you.

To display selected text translations in the Translate Panel:

1. Go to the main Vivaldi menu > Settings > Content Settings.
2. Enable «Prefer Translate Panel».

To make account registration and login faster, some websites offer to create accounts using a third-party service, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. When you’re logged into one of the aforementioned sites, you’ll notice sign-in prompts popping up on websites that have implemented third-party sign-ins.

It may be easy to create an account that way, but it does allow the service providers to track and profile you, and the website may get access to personal data you might not have shared using their own sign-up form, to name just a couple of risks.

If you won’t be using this sign-in method and prefer not to see these prompts either, you can block them.

To disable third-party sign-in prompts in Vivaldi on Android:

1. Go to Settings > Content Settings > Site Settings > Content > Third-party sign-in.
2. Toggle the setting off.
