Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14

Fullscreen mode with address bar
Fullscreen means make the browser fill the screen, not hide controls as well. If we also wanted to hide the controls,we use the "toggle UI" function. The address bar and panels should be visible in full screen mode if the user so chooses -
Allow any theme to be used in reader view
Currently the Reader view offers 3 themes: light, dark, and current browser theme. It would be nice to be able to access any of the browser themes, so that you could customise one to match your reading preference while keeping it separate from the browser's overall style. -
Automatically attempt to make HTTPS connections
Some sites are already set up to use HSTS, but unfortunately not all. If a webpage is accessed over HTTP, make an attempt to see if it can be accessed over HTTPS and re-route. Similar to functionality offered by "HTTPS Everywhere" and other Secure Transport Enforcer extensions. -
Shortcut for closing currently open panel
Right now, if I want to use a keyboard shortcut or mouse gesture to close the currently open panel, my only options are:-
Use the shortcut for that exact panel (and inherent in that, create and maintain shortcuts for each web panel)
-
Hide the panel sidebar completely.
There is no generic "close the currently open panel" option that does not also hide the panel bar completely.

Support for Speed Dial Thumbnail Packs
Currently, if a user wants to share icons with someone else, they have to upload a zip, and then a user has to manually specify the thumbnails for each and every dial. I would find it more interesting if there was some way of "applying" a speed dial thumbnail pack.E.g. It's a zip folder, and the thumbnails are named like "vivaldi.net.png" or something similar. Then, when the zip folder is "applied", the speed dial thumbs are automatically set with the associated image.

More Intelligent cross-site content permissions
For things like iframes, sockets, javascript - things that communicate to other pages than the one you are currently on, it would be nice to get more fine-grained permissions. So that, for example one could:- Allow only 1st party javascript on the domain, block 3rd party
- Allow certain 3rd party scripts to be loaded on certain websites
- Whitelist certain CDNs to always allow scripts to be loaded from them
Effectively, functionality similar to "Noscript", "ScriptJäger" and other such extensions

Tab hiding feature for 'Window' sidebar
Hi all
I think it will be great if you can add tab hiding feature to 'Window' sidebar. It mean we could see something like a check box beside each tab shown in 'Window' sidebar which hides tab from tab bar when we remove check from checkbox.
I think something like this can used for managing current working tabs better.
Best Regards.

Easier access to saving sessions
Currently I find the process of managing sessions to be a bit cumbersome. It would be nicer to have an implementation that works similar to Microsoft Edge's (yes, I know, I'm surprised too) great implementation of "setting tabs aside" as this seems like a much smoother experience to use. What with the Sidebar, not forcing you to think of a name, not forcing you to then remember said name. -
Completely delete an empty item
If a note (or a bookmark, or folder of some kind) has no content inside it and it is deleted, don't even put it in the trash. Simply remove it. -
Option to detect mobile touch icons instead of thumbnails
Many sites will offer touch icons for mobile devices. The largest, about 180px would fit in speed dials, and may look clearer than thumbnails. An option to auto detect the presence of these and use them in place of thumbnails would be nice. -
Pick accent colour from page header
As an alternative to generating an accent colour from the favicon, generate the accent colour to match a page header, if it has a specific colour. For example, github has a black header, facebook has a blue header, twitch has a purple header -
add feature to expand/collapse tab stack like classic opera. Current stack only collapse them while classic opera allow to show all of tab in tab bar
-
Zoom enhancements: please allow speed dial thumbs/webpanels scaling
-
Show list of tab stacks in "Move Tab to" menu.
-
Scroll tab list at Window panel to keep active tab in the view.
-
Links Panel
-
Add renaming of tab stack folders in Window Panel
The Window Panel is awesome and I now use it instead of tab bar.
But I´m missing one feature in the Window Panel: renaming of folders (aka tab stack). They get an automatic generated title in Window Panel and this title has curious names sometimes (like overview) or just the name of one tab in the stack. -
Bookmark bar enhancement: Middle mouse click on a bookmark subfolder should open all containing tabs.
-
Bookmark bar enhancement: 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.
-
Bookmark bar enhancement: 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.
