Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10

Bookmark bar enhancement:
1.) Middle mouse click on a bookmark subfolder should open all containing tabs.
2.) When opening a bookmark in a bookmark folder, the bookmark folder is getting closed. Would be great if it would stay open, so it would be possible to open more bookmarks at once.
3.) When opening a bookmark root folder, hovering the mouse cursor over another root folder should open it without the need of a second mouse click.
In short: Please take Opera's bookmark bar as an example. It has all three requested features implemented and has in my humble opinion the best bookmark bar of all popular browsers. Especially the first feature request is very important for me, cause it prevents me from using Vivaldi as my main browser.

@JuniorSilva30 Yes, I know you have 71 themes? If I remember correctly
-
@pafflick I'm aware of that, but it is still a regression (for my usage). This is particularly so for extensions with different behavior depending on which direction one drags.
-
@Ainamacar I just wanted to make sure that you know that, but I also understand why you would want to disable it. This reminds me of this picture that I grabbed from the Internets one day:
-
@pafflick That is horrifying. He should have used Vim.
Anyway it was ambiguous what I knew, so I appreciate you mentioned it.
-
@samhall Yes seeing a graphical representation of our time spent browsing particular sites would be spectacular. Love this browser.

@julioc1984 wtf the icon of musicbee what's that?

Better Font Rendering
Vivaldi uses Chromium's font rendering, but it would be great if at some point Vivaldi could create it's own font rendering engine to be really good like other browsers(ex. Firefox, Safari, O12,). It would be nice if fonts within and without the UI were a bit smoother, darker, and more readable like said browsers.
-
Better Smooth Scrolling
Vivaldi's is okay, but maybe it's own smooth scrolling engine could be better. One with much more smoothness like on Safari on Mac, and when you turn it off it could do really good mechanical scrolling.
Middle button scrolling could be redone with it as well.
-
@Valento How about a graphical representation of the time we spend inspecting our browsing history?
-
@gaelle Ability to re-order extentios is a must have
-
@julioc1984 I totally agree. Currently it is hard to find desired command in such large context menu.
If it's possible to create a custom submenu in Chromium context menu, this menu can be compacted by creating "Open Image in" submenu. And also Fullscreen feature can be removed from image, link and textarea context menus.

@pafflick said in Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10:
Prevent media (audio/video) from auto-playing as a website permission
It could be achieved by blocking all flash content (already possible) and preventing HTML5 audio & video from launching without user's action (click-to-play).
With this feature, we would be able to blacklist/whitelist websites for playing media, just like we could do it with Notifications, Popups, Plugins, Location, Camera & other website permissions.
Adding to this:
Please implement click-to-play for all plug-ins !including! flash.The only current intermediate between "make millions of websites unusable" (always off) and "make your pc unusable by billions of websites" (always on) is a laugh: Let vivaldi decide both evils. Hopefully it is much better at this then Adobe!
To me personally, the only way to use flash is with full user control. And not just "per website" with white an blacklists (which would be terrible uncomfortable anyway), but "per plug-in", so I can enable exactly what I need when I need it, but do not have to fear that some infected advertisement or similar damages my system after auto starting. -
create a manage-system for suggestions
This, obviously, is not a suggestion for 1.9 itself, but for this plattform and the 1.9 launch:
Please stop using unmoderated, undocumented threads for suggestions. A vote system simply does not work in a flat view with hundreds of posts, as no one will read them all. I found technically the same popular suggestion (configurable menus) three times before finishing the second page. We need a simple tree structure and a moderator which moves misplaced repeats or, a lot better, a ticket based system with a search function that prompts any suggestee to look at existing suggestions.
Big bonus of the latter one: You can stop restarting from scratch with every versions. If you want to stay with thread based approachs, at least give status information of old suggestions. 99% of postings here are repeats that would be unecessary if one would know whether the suggestion was accepted/rejected/completely missed the last time. -
minimising of tabs
I am still missing an option to move though a stack of "oppened in background" tabs by closing OR NOT CLOSING them. While it is possible to shift back to the last used tab by clicking the currently used one, there is no way to jump to keep a task open for later use and continue working with the rest, because it will always pop back into the foreground when the next task is closed. Opera had a much better way to do this by allowing a task to get minimised.
(Though I would be happy enough to move a tab as far into the background as possible so that it will only show again after treating all other tabs, just like a newly "opened in background" tab would - but without changing the tabs place in the tab bar.) -
cascading bookmark menΓΌ
Some people (e.g. me) use a lot more bookmarks regularly than could be fit into a bar. So a bookmark bar or a bookmark sidepanel is just wasting my screen real estate and/or requiering a hell of a lot of clicks to navigate through folders. Cascading menΓΌs which open subfolders on mouse over are much more convenient - which is why they have been the standard used literally anywhere in browser, applications, even operating systems for well over two decades. Everywhere except Vivaldi

Sorry for posting this reply in a wrong place. My answer was:
It's weird, i try right now, both with left and middle mouse button, but don't works. I'm on Linux Mint 18.1 (Cinnamon - 32bit)
and i was answering at this post:
@ugly You mean that doesn't work on you?
Because here in Linux/Debian sid amd64. Double Clicking empty tab bar area (behind plus sign) does open New Tab. Either it horizontal or vertical.@dLeon & Mid-click on tab bar to create new one too
-
Support smart zoom on macOS
Google Chrome dose actually
-
@dLeon Sorry I did not notice that
-
@opera6rules It is already on the list:

Bookmark Menu
However, there is no limit to how many bookmarks can be made to fit on the Bookmarks Bar. It is simply a matter of how many top level folders you have, and how long their names are. Bookmark folders can be renamed, and branches of the tree can be pruned and grafted until all of your top level bookmark folders fit. Then you will get what you want, although you will have to waste some space with the Bookmarks Bar. (Set a shortcut like "b" to toggle it on/off easily.
