This Day and That Year: Incredible two years!

I don't suppose it can be done for the program itself? Forgive me for repeating myself, but I would really like to be able to disable the close button.
Go Settings > Tabs and the Tab Display section and then untick "Display Close Button".

Nice gift for my birthday today/tonight. Thanks, Jon & Co.

Congratulations and thanks for the great browser!
My 3 favorite features:
1. Mouse gestures + customizable keybindings: It's great how I can control Vivaldi using solely the mouse (useful for idle browsing) or solely the keyboard (useful for dev, when switching from terminal). It's not perfect yet, though; I still have to rely on vimium and wasavi to get some low-level keybinds properly, and things like tab management are still only doable with a mouse.
2. Sidebar: Good for checking Messenger or ticking off to-dos with Google Keep. It's also a very nice way of presenting bookmarks and downloads.
3. Tab management: stacking and tiling aren't features I always use, but they're damn convenient when I need them. Ctrl-selecting tabs complements these features very well, as well as the popup thumbnails that help when picking out a tab from a stack. -
As many others here I'm a long time Opera fan. Still using Opera 12.18 because right now no other browser can offer me what Opera offers me. However, Vivaldi is my second favorite browser as of now.
Fav features:
1. Mouse and rocker gestures. Of course. I always thought "what the hell do I need mouse gestures for?" until I tried them for the first time, lol. Glad to see those implemented in Vivaldi as well. It changed my browsing experience because I can browser much faster now. I don't have to klick "new tab" every time I want to open a new tab (or use "CTRL + T" for a new tab).
2. Single key short cuts. Seriously, without the use of the "1" and "2" buttons I'm almost unable to navigate through my tabs, haha. Whenever I use a different browser I end up pressing "1" and "2" and start wondering why nothing happens.
3. Snapshots of a selection. Don't know if this is in a stable release but I really like the new snapshot feature. Makes it much easier to capture just the interesting things from a web page.What I am really missing is the e-mail client integrated in Vivaldi. If that is implemented, I will switch completly from Opera to Vivaldi.

1. Themes.
2. Scroll tabs with previews.
3. Not directly related but nevertheless a huge plus: commenting on blog and the forum! -
To add to some previous comments, Vivaldi allows me to organize my browser so I can browse the way I want and need to once again. I'm deeply bookmarks-oriented, so the ability to swap out bookmark bars with a couple of clicks plus the presence of folders on the bookmarks bar and the ability to employ custom bookmarks labels without icons have reopened a world of flexibility that seemed to shrivel up and die with the end of Olde Opera.
My thanks to Jon and the team for making browsing fun again!

Bookmarks are huge for me too. So the more attention they get and they better they become the happier I am. I love Vivaldi.

We salute you, brave hearts!
I'm twenty years with Opera, now two years with you, and forever!
Strength! Success! Victory! -
I know many will say what does this post have to do with browsers, well it has to do with the design and ingenuity of European especially Norwegian area companies. I was using Viv to watch Flights coming into Denver cause my cousin was flying a small plane into that area.
I saw a plane that sent me to Pilatus aircraft website that I knew nothing about! Wow to my unbelievable surprise did I see a PC24 all ought to see. It was like my first introduction to Opera, then watching Vivaldi grow into a awesome, beautiful in every way and solidly built.
All ought to go to www.pilatus-aircraft.com/#275 to see the COCKIEST looking business jet I've ever seen! JON ought to get one and put a Viv logo on it or at least a PC12.
Please don't flame me cause you can't see the complement I am giving you developers etc. and don't like planes or can't see analogies. And yes maybe Swiss is not Norwegian but to us in USA the west takes in far more area than two states so…close enough.

just wanted to say thanks, a friend.

Hello Vivaldi-team, thank you for more than two years of your hard work! Without you I would have to stick around with Chrome or Firefox all the time. shudder
However, I miss a behaviour: I have set "gesture right" as scroll to bottom and "gesture left" as scroll to top. Most of the time it works perfectly well but there are some pages that embed a frame of some kind. When performing the gesture above that area I'd like to scroll its content instead the page that area is embedded in. Would it be possible to make an option for that? Thanks and happy coding!
