Open With Vivaldi Browser Setup

Open With Vivaldi Browser is a new companion for Chrome users to send any web page from Chrome to Vivaldi via a single and quick mouse click. This is the first time you are using Open With Vivaldi Browser. Please follow below steps to properly setup the extension to be able to use it.


1. Download OWV Communicator

You have successfully installed Open With Vivaldi Browser add-on but you just need some easy steps to set things up before using Open With Vivaldi Browser. Actually we create software which works out of box that does not require any additional step to use. Open With Vivaldi Browser for Firefox works without any configuration and you can use it as soon as you install the add-on. But Google Chrome restricts extensions to access other programs installed on your computer for security reasons. Therefore you need to have a communicator software which needs to carry messages between Open With Vivaldi Browser extension and Vivaldi itself. We are really sorry about this extra requirement for Google Chrome version of Open With Vivaldi Browser, but this requirement is a necessity beyond our control. Anyway, required steps are not complicated and it can be done in only 15 seconds, fortunately.
