How to Re-enable Exit Confirmation in Vivaldi Browser

Vivaldi web browser is known for the optimum usage of the system resources while delivering very fast performance. It always keeps surprising the users with newer features with every new update. One of the features that has existed in Vivaldi for a very long time is that it asks the user for confirmation whenever you close the Vivaldi window to exit the browser. This exit confirmation is displayed only on Linux and Windows platforms.

If you really want to exit the browser at the end of the day then there is no problem. But this confirmation feature can save you from accidentally closing the browser while you are in the middle of something important. This is why some people want to re-enable this feature after having disabled it previously.
