Tip #742

Go to bookmarked web pages on mobile from the search widget.

Opening the Vivaldi browser on Android or iOS and tapping on a Speed Dial is already a quick way to go to a bookmarked page, but what if you have a lot of Speed Dials or you haven’t added the bookmark to your Start Page? Then browsing through the bookmarks to find the right one can take longer.

When you give your bookmarks nicknames, on the other hand, you can open them quickly by typing the nickname in the search field. And why not do that directly from the Search Widget without opening the browser first?

To add the Search Widget on mobile check out the instrcutions for Android here and for iOS here.

To give a bookmark a nickname:

  1. Open the Bookmarks Panel.
  2. Find the bookmark you want to give a nickname to.
  3. Long-press on it and select “Edit” (pencil icon on Android).
  4. Give the bookmark a short nickname.
  5. Tap “Done”.

To open a bookmarked website from the widget.

  1. Tap on the Search Widget on the home screen.
  2. Type the nickname.
  3. Tap “Go”.

Nerd detective time, please:
"Set in a cafe, there's this couple in middle school between a guy and an enby called Mogu (Mogumi? Maybe?) with white hair and short low pigtails, usually. I think a bear hair clip as well? Cute af tiny backpack!

People ask a few times if Mogumo (?) is a trans girl.
They keep saying "no, I'm not a boy nor a girl. I'm just a person. I'm me, something else" or along those lines.

Somehow, they get work in a cafe with other GNC and queer people. (I think maybe a lesbian schoolfriend had a crush on them, thinking they were a girl, but I feel like that may have been a different story.)
One was a gay guy who just liked dressing like a chick sometimes. Another was a trans chick. I can't remember but again, maybe a sapphic somewhere? "

(Unrelated: does anyone know of a good corollary for sapphic? Like, the gayest of historical dudes, so gay he embodies the idea of MLM but as an adjective.)

Got it! "Mogumo (百雲 龍之助 Mogumo Ryuunosuke) is the protagonist of Fukakai na Boku no Subete o. Mogumo is a first-year in high school who was assigned male at birth but identifies as non-binary or X-gender. They wish for friends that would truly understand them. They eventually develop a romantic relationship with Tetsu Iwaoka." fukaboku.fandom.com/wiki/Mogumo

Fukaboku WikiMogumoMogumo (百雲 龍之助, Mogumo Ryuunosuke) is the protagonist of Fukakai na Boku no Subete o. Mogumo is a first-year in high school who was assigned male at birth but identifies as non-binary or X-gender. They wish for friends that would truly understand them. They eventually develop a romantic relationship with Tetsu Iwaoka. Sakura Mogumo (sister) Mr. Mogumo (father) Mrs. Mogumo (mother) Tetsu Iwaoka (boyfriend) Kotone Mizunoe (childhood friend) Mogumo is shown as a shy and timid person when first...

So I was trying Kagi because DuckDuckGo is becoming worse and worse.

In DDG the top list of website are questionable sources or irrelevant information. If I look at the news section, it constantly gives me far-rights and Israeli-propaganda outlets for basically any query. And it keeps turning on the AI feature despite me deactivating it every time.

So I'm trying Kagi. The free trial account gives me 100 search. But I notice that search isn't counted as one query
