Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14
-
Make Vivaldi Thinkpad/Trackpoint friendly
While Vivaldi works well with the older Thinkpad keyboards and drivers it's a pain to use with the newer keyboards.
-
Make Vivaldi More Visually appealing and unique than other browsers
Option to have the color accent to entire window when tabs are on top not just on the tabs. When you have the tabs on top with the accent color on the tabs lets say black on background and red tabs
what i want is that the background and the tabs both change depending on the color of website, and optionally include the panel and scrollbar to also change color.Which of course you can disable if you do not want it (making Vivaldi look how it is present without too much colors) or enable if you like the colorful aesthetic look.

Re-ordering of tab stacks by dragging tabs thumbnails
When we hover a tab stack, the popup thumbnails of the stacked tabs are displayed. These thumbnails can already be dragged to the tab bar in order to unstack a tab, but they can't be moved across the other thumbnails.
It would be an efficient and simple way for user to re-order a stack.
-
Switch tabs by scrolling on stack thumbnails
We can already enable an option to switch tabs by scrolling on the tab bar. It would be similar, but applied to stacks thumbnails: When hovering the thumbnails of a stack, scrolling will loop through the tabs inside this stack only.
-
Display (temporary) a tab by hovering its thumbnail.
A tab thumbnail is often too small to differentiate correctly 2 similar tabs. It would be great to be able to display the full tab by just hovering its popup thumbnail.
However, the tab would still NOT be selected until we really click on the tab/thumbnail. In other terms, moving the mouse outside the thumbnail would display back the currently/previously selected tab. -
Still hoping we can save our browser settings in our vivaldi account as chrome.
-
in the new Window panel is to have
- ability to see tabs from all the open Vivaldi windows, not just the current one.
- ability to close tabs with an X button, or middle-click
- ability to move tabs between windows from this panel
- ability to create new tab in selected window folder
Also, standard keyboard shortcut for window panel?
-
Context menu search (right-click -> Search with). I would like to request the option to automatically add the searched string to the clipboard.
-
Remove white box around icon of active tab.

Native(ish) theme
Colorful themes are good, but users should be able to select a theme, which fits perfectly into the OS design on every supported system. This must include not only colors, but gradients, transparency, rounded corners and shadows too. And it must contain not only the toolbars and buttons, but scrollbars and menus as well. -
Support installation from the Opera addon catalog
There are well-tested extension, which can not be found in the Chrome catalog. -
Add options for cleaning stuff at the exit (like CTRL+SHIFT+DEL).
Having long download lists might slowdown the browser a bit. -
Floating sidebar panels
As a switch in the context menu of the given panel to display it above the page, without resizing the document window. Clicking outside the panel should close it. -
Calculate hash-codes for downloads (checksums)
Many websites offer checksums to verify the integrity and authenticity of downloads, but most people ignore them as its too much of a hassle to actually determine the checksums for a file. Many people also don't even know how to generate a hashcode.

Win8/Metro style speed dial
It would be good to choose from various thumbnail sizes.- 1Ć1 should be around 64px, something like a desktop icon, showing only an icon of the page.
- 2Ć2 and 4Ć4 would be fine to differentiate by importance.
- 2Ć4, 4Ć2 and 4Ć4 would be great for speed dial extensions. Live content like weather, RSS, notifications and such.
Combining them freely in a grid, with the ability to leave blank spaces would bring great possibilities for customization, and also, it would make it possible to use the speed dial as a simple grid like now for those, who don't want fancy solutions.

Editable rocker gestures
Next/previous is already the default for left and right mouse gestures, so current rocker gestures are quite useless most of the time.
For example, being able to map a switch to previous or next tab using rocker "right+left" or rocker "left+right". -
Hello Vivaldi team!
I love this browser; you are doing great job! I just want to ask you for one more (I hope simple) thing:
Mouse gesture for "Copy Page Address" (it is in right-click menu now) as it was in old Opera (there it was called "Copy Document Address"). I am browsing with hidden address bar for saving space and this function is very important for me.
Thank you,

Load tabs only from the current tab stack, and easily switch from stack to stack
Having a side bar to manage many tabs is nice, but in practice we won't keep the side bar open all the time, and the tab bar can still be filled up by too many tabs and stacks... so Window Panel still doesn't completely solve the many tabs problem.
One way to further improve tab management is to raise tab stacks to first-class citizens, that is, every tab must belong to some stack, and at any moment there is only one "current" stack , whose tabs are loaded in the tab bar. A keyboard shortcut can be set to switch the current stack, and thus loading different sets of tabs in the tab bar.
This way, there is only a subset of all the open tabs displayed in the tab bar at a time, and switching between one subset to the next is easily done via a key press. If the current tab stack grows too much and the tab bar is filled up again, users can just move some tabs into a new or existing tab stack. The point is, the tab bar itself can always be managed to have a reasonable number of tabs. If occasionally we do want a global view of all the stacks and tabs, then we go to Window Panel for help.
Currently, clicking on individual tabs within a tab stack on the tab bar is really not optimal, nor is tab tiling.
PS. This idea was first implemented in Firefox (and mostly likely first conceived by the Firefox team), and later re-implemented and improved by the author of the add-on "Tab Groups". But it is killed off since Firefox 57.
