Published 2026-11-03 - Updated 2026-11-03 - By VaultForYou Editorial Team - Checked against each browser's help pages, November 2026 ## Quick answer Vivaldi syncs bookmarks through a Vivaldi account: Settings -> Sync (an encryption password protects the synced data). Turn it on with the same account on each device and bookmarks appear everywhere within minutes. - **Service:** A Vivaldi account - **Setting:** Settings -> Sync (an encryption password protects the synced data) - **What syncs:** Bookmarks, with folders and order; deletions too ## Sync bookmarks in Vivaldi 1. **Sign in** In Vivaldi, sign in with a Vivaldi account. 2. **Turn on bookmark sync** Settings -> Sync (an encryption password protects the synced data). Bookmarks is one of the data types; the others (history, passwords, open tabs) are separate switches. 3. **Repeat on each device** Sign in with the same account and turn bookmarks sync on. 4. **Check** Open `vivaldi://bookmarks` on the other device. New bookmarks usually arrive within a minute; a large first sync can take longer. Menu labels change between versions of Vivaldi; the shortcut and the internal address `vivaldi://bookmarks` don't. ## What sync does Every add, edit, move and deletion is copied to every device signed in with a Vivaldi account. There is no per-folder choice: the whole list syncs or none of it. The copy in the account is the current list, not a history of versions. ## Stop syncing bookmarks Settings -> Sync (an encryption password protects the synced data), and turn the bookmarks switch off. bookmarks already on each device stay there; new changes stay local. Signing out does the same for everything at once. ## Keep some bookmarks out of Vivaldi altogether Synced means every signed-in device shows the bookmark: a work laptop, a family computer, a phone someone else picks up. [Private Bookmarks](/private-bookmarks) is our free extension that saves pages into an encrypted vault on this computer: AES-256-GCM, a key derived from your password, no account, no sync and no network access. Saved pages never appear in the bookmark bar, in `vivaldi://bookmarks` or in a Vivaldi account, and the vault locks itself after a few minutes. > **Add Private Bookmarks to Vivaldi.** Free. Installs from the Chrome Web Store.

Check that the same account is signed in on both devices, that the bookmarks switch is on in Settings -> Sync (an encryption password protects the synced data), and that neither device is paused (a yellow or red icon on the profile picture). A changed password can pause sync until you sign in again. ### Can I sync bookmarks with a different browser? Not with a Vivaldi account. Between browsers, export an HTML file and import it, or use a third-party sync extension. ### Does deleting on one device delete everywhere? Yes. That is sync working as designed; turn it off first if you want to clear one device only. ### Do private bookmarks sync? No. Private Bookmarks never syncs and has no network access. Move its vault between computers with its encrypted backup file. ## Sources - [Vivaldi Help: Bookmark Bar](https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/bookmarks/bookmark-bar/) - [Vivaldi Help: Import and export bookmarks](https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/bookmarks/import-export-bookmarks/) ## Sync bookmarks in other browsers - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Google Chrome](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/chrome) - [How to sync favorites between devices in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/edge) - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Brave](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/brave) - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Opera](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/opera) - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Chrome on Android](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/chrome-android) - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Chrome on iPhone and iPad](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/chrome-iphone) - [All browsers: sync bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks) ## More for Vivaldi - [How to show the bookmark bar in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/show-bookmarks-bar/vivaldi) - [How to bookmark a page in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/vivaldi) - [How to delete bookmarks in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/delete-bookmarks/vivaldi) - [How to export bookmarks in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/export-bookmarks/vivaldi) - [How to import bookmarks in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/import-bookmarks/vivaldi) - [How to find where bookmarks are stored in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/where-bookmarks-are-stored/vivaldi) - [How to restore lost bookmarks in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/restore-bookmarks/vivaldi) - [How to organize bookmarks in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/organize-bookmarks/vivaldi) --- Private Bookmarks by VaultForYou is a Chrome extension made by VaultForYou.
