Feature requests for 1.12
-
Proper autocomplete (wrong parts selected when moving around, segmentation for autocomplete on every "/" level) - VB-23058
-
Fix repetitive urls in history dropdown - VB-25017, VB-27673
-
Place focus in address bar, even for homepage as new tab (Extension for new tab redirect workaround does not work for focus) - VB-25016
-
Links don't always open in the proper window when there are multiple windows open (eg. if I have a video playing fullscreen on monitor/window 'A' why open a link in that if I got a different one 'B' open on a different display) - VB-27764
-
Remember download locations per domain (eg.: image.com -> D:\Images; documents.org -> C:\Users\user\Documents)
-
Edit browser chrome css without hacking (eg. I want to hide the back, forward etc... buttons as I only use mouse gestures - opera 12 allowed me to do this)
-
All Vivaldi windows maximize when a link opens (eg. if I have one window open and a 2nd minimized a link should usually open in the not minimized window) - VB-27831
-
@josephj11 exactly that
To me also often happens that i cannot find what i'm looking for, and it's frustrating and a waste of time. -
@jafa The option is already there. Untick "show tab bar".
-
@urfausto I'm not sure I understand. Do you need to "see" them because you need to extract that data from the webpage for the next step of your workflow?
If so, I can understand why a tooltip wouldn't be helpful.

Every time we open a web panel, it will force the open tab to resize! This is not good since it will change the dimension and in HTML5 dynamic pages things relocate and occasionally goes to tablet or mobile mode if the webpanel is wide (does not leave much room for the current open tab).
The solution is to have the webpanels as layer over the actual tab. if someone wants something to be open side by side, they already have the tab-tiling option. So at the moment it is redundant to have webpanel gets actual space in the browsing area. Perhaps it can be optional and user can toggle the behavior based on their preference.
imho webpanels are for things that you want to have there always by your side, like WhatsappWeb or other chat platforms, bookmark services like google bookmarks and etc. which you open them hundreds of times per day but every time for short period of time, so changing the dimension is quite too much.
This has been mentioned only once before, but among many others in a single post many months before and has 6 votes so far.

Colored tabs:
I use vertical tabs because it gives me the ability to scroll through them. But I have a bad habit of opening a lot of tabs (around 100 or so). It would be really cool if it were possible to select multiple tabs and give them a background color that makes them look different from the rest. This is different from grouping or tiles. Instead of requiring a different visual arrangement or concept, all it would take is a simple glance to notice "all the green tabs" or "all those orange tabs", and you'd know that they have something in common. Maybe when you rollover a tab with the cursor it could display the color's meaning inside the preview popup. -
@lake Sort of like how some operating systems let you "tag" folders with a certain colour or icon?

My suggestion of graphical feature for the browser! I believe that with some adjustments to make it accessible to all people, including those who are sensitive to some content, this suggestion is viable!

Add a way to move the extensions icons to the bottom right instead of the top right. I like to have the top of the browser clean, with the search box all the way to the right. Either an extension bar could be added with a customizable position or make it so that the icons can be moved to the status bar by the zoom, toggle images, capture page etc.

Drag and Droppable Downloads

@m-mahmoudian I actually made a post requesting almost this exact same thing a few days ago. Hopefully more people will show an interest in this problem.
I very much dislike forced-docking interfaces. When they changed the default option for developer tools to docked, I just about had a fit. Why do people want to smash so much stuff together in one window?

@gazugafan You can change this via a short css code (written by sjudenim)
#panels-container { position: absolute !important; z-index: 15; height: 100%; }
It has the effect that the site you are looking at no longer needs to be shrinked or resized but instead the panel overlaps the left part of the site. (And yes this has some downsites too in case there are buttons on the left side you want to click).
I case you don't know how to implement your own css - here's an instruction (written by pafflick):
How to use custom css:
1.) Go to the "About" page (
vivaldi://about
) to check the Vivaldi installation path.
2.) Check the "Executable Path" entry. It should end with \Application\vivaldi.exe. Now close Vivaldi.
3.) Navigate to that Application directory. It should contain a folder named after the current version of Vivaldi, like eg. 1.6.689.40
4.) Open that folder and navigate to the following path: \resources\vivaldi\style
5.) Edit the common.css file with a text editor and add the following code at the beginning of the file:
@import "custom.css";
6.) Use the text editor to create a new file in the same directory and name it custom.css. Make sure the extension of the file is actually .css and not .txt. If you don't know how to do that, check this tip.
7.) Paste the CSS code to that file and save it. You can use that file from now on to paste other codes that you might find on this forum.
8.) NOTE: Each time Vivaldi updates, you'll need to repeat steps 2 - 5 and copy your custom.css file to the new location. -
@gaelle I'm requesting for next tab / prev tab using rocker gestures. Imagine how fast you can switch tabs with it. Two tabs away? No problem, two clicks and you're there in under 0.5 second. Cursor will never need to go to and hover over tabs ever again.
Note: The gesture should work even when the cursor hover over the hyperlinks. A bonus if it can do rocker gesture on full screen video.
I hope this feature can be implemented in version 1.13 or even better v1.12 -
@zaibon That's not how we implement
custom.css
these days. Official guide here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi
