Once you get Windows bludgeoned into recognizing Vivaldi as your default web browser desktop shortcuts will automatically open Vivaldi, not that Edge monster thing.

1. Startup tab: Set the "Home Page" (upper right) to "Specific Page", and put in what you want.

2. Same tab: Startup with section to "Home Page"

3. Appearance tab: middle of the page is the "Zoom" - set it to what you want.

4. Tabs tab: Set the "New Tab Page" to "Homepage, and new tabs will open to what you start with...

150% zoom is too much on my computer, and I'd have to use about a 135% instead, else I've got all sorts of sites that don't fit on a single page properly... That means that I needs to go out an buy me a new monitor screen mates... Arrrrr - Happy US National Talk Like A Pirate Day!
