Snapshot 1.0.418.3 - Focusing on individual requirements, not statistics

Referring to Vivaldi's attitude, it's awesome that staff demonstrates interest on the users' behalf by reading the comments and making this clear by answering - the pure existence of this comment expresses much more than its contents.
Especially awesome that there is no 'community manager' but developers and you reading the comments (even your marketing staff is pretty cool for sure, too, but they don't magically make features out of suggestions).
So thanks, keep going!

I just want to share a little story here, if you don't mind.
There was this discussion on a blog about Opera's new direction. Someone, a clearly power user said something along the lines that they hated this and that, why would Opera do this and not that, you know the drill. Then there came the reply: "Opera doesn't make their browser for you, but for the other n million users."
This made me indescribably mad.
This isn't about Opera, Vivaldi or Firefox, it is more simple than that. Am I not considered a valid user? Do my demands and wishes set me apart from anybody else? Did tech-savviness really become a negative trait that should be frowned upon?
Thank you for making me a browser! Thank you for making me feel like I am important and valued too! -
According to the [url=http://vivaldi.net/surveys/index.php/statistics_user/action/surveyid/561377/language/en
]earlier survey sync is on top of their list.But Vivaldi explained about the absence of the mail client in current releases that they don't want an user to lose his mails under any circumstances - sync of bookmarks and settings is equally critical, I guess.
But again referring the survey we can look forward to get this feature in the near future.
-
It would be nice though, to have a self-hosted sync. So allow users to either use their own server or, once set-up, Vivaldi's.

vivaldi crash EVERYTIME I click a link in telegram and qq

Hi guys, I really appreciate that you care to individual needs. :D:-)
Please, could you answer this request I've sent four times, i.e. offer the same than Opera 12.17 with the tab functionality "Close All" ? As I explained previously, if I want to leave the browser and let it clean for the next opening, it is definitely more helpful than 1) "Close Other Tabs" then 2) "Close Tab".
I know I can do almost the same by setting "Startup with" to "Homepage", :idea: but it is not the behavior I expect: sometimes, I really need to quit with some opened tabs, then retreive them on the next opening. So I have to set "Startup with" to "Last Session".
Thanks for your hard work and accessibility !

Speaking of tab stacking, I still would really like to see expandable tab stacks (like in those screenshots in the Opera 12 article).
An »Ignore pinned tabs« option in the session management would be nice as well.Go Vivaldi, go! You good boy!

If you can allow resizing of tiled tabs, that will good enough IMO. It's already pretty useful for the most common scenarios, two tabs tiled vertically to save space, or the same tab in two horizontally tiled panels
One feature of MDI I rely on very much is for example when I use popups to share contents. Tumblr sharing popup for example. Without MDI you've to work with the system taskbar but I don't show it while I browse so using the tabbar to manage the popup is much more convenient.
Then there's the minimizing tabs feature that is quite useful too.
And above all, as I always said, MDI can do ALL a Tabbed GUI does, but not vice-versa

Are you serious on this one? Keyboard events come to apps the same way regardless of the keyboard layout. Each key has its own code and it doesn't change. This works well in every other app, but this doesn't work at all in Vivaldi. The item in the menu bar gets highlighted as if it triggered, but nothing happens besides that.
-
well, menus need a redesign in every case to fix some problems… I sent some BUGS time ago if I recall right
-
In Opera you could select what action to assign to the middle-click so you can configure it in your way
-
+10000 for the slimmer panel toggler!!!!! … The best I've seen is that implemented in OmniSidebar extension in Firefox... It's simply AWESOME
-
command line switches are not always doable… Vivaldi should implement them properly through a preference file (ah, the good old .INI , how much I miss you )
-
I still have this behaviour where i close a tab, then use a "new tab" mouse gesture in the tab below, but vivaldi somehow thinks the links of the old tab are still there, and opens a link that doesn't even exist anymore (because "new tab" and "open link in new tab" have the same gesture). I've reported this, but never read about it anywhere else. Does anyone have the same problem?

That means:
- no portable at all
- you've no control over your password
- you can't access your passwords if you recover the file from a broken hard drive, for example
Seriously, Chromium password management sucks in so many ways that is hard to understand who the hell implemented it
And speaking about convenience, the way Wand let you fill forms (a simple button on the toolbar… no search for input box on the page, not autofilling forms, etc) is still the best I've ever seen in my life...

"Show Tab Thumbnails": now tabs can't be resized when the option is disabled
-
I found a bug, in the previous version was not there.
In the side panel of bookmarks, when you try to edit a bookmark happen that sometimes the address changes with that of another. It not always does, and I do not understand what it is determined. Restarting resolves temporarily but after some time it happens again.
Bug very annoying. -
Do you have any improvements planned for address bar history search/autocomplete? it's really slow and unresponsive
Also could you make an option to not store search engine queries from address bar (things like "g whatever") as typed-in-address entries in address bar dropdown menu. Maybe move those directly to search bar history -
Homepage handling
Appreciate your work in this area very much, but…
Bugs:
1. On startup: No homepage appears, only an empty tab.
2. Click on any link in a homepage: The address bar is not being updated with a new target address (both when opening in the same and in a different tab).
3. Click on a homepage icon: Sometimes does not react at all. (It is easily possible to bring Vivaldi to a state when it refuses to open homepage!)Wish:
On clicking a homepage icon: Please open Homepage in a new tab (as in Opera 12.17)
My settings:
Startup with: Homepage
Default Webpage Zoom: 110%
Use tab zoom: OFF -
I want to address an issue about words typed in address field. I don't know if this is by design or not. When we type a word and press enter in the address field, Vivialdi immediately searches that word in the search engine we have configured.
But in my case I have intranet servers whose URL is just a word (without dots) and if I have to access then always have to prepend protocol in the address.For example. I want to access a server with address "http://myserver/", I type "myserver" in address field, Vivialdi searches "myserver" in Bing. That's annoying. To solve this I always have to type "http://myserver" to force a lookup to a DNS instead a Bing search.
This is true for extended URLs too. For example. I type "myserver/myawsomepage", I get a Bing search on "myserver" and "myawsomepage" words.I'd like Vivaldi try to determine if a word is written in the address field is a valid server name access it, if not, to launch a search on the search engine configured.
