Warn When Closing Multiple Tabs
-
Like in Firefox, but there should be a setting to change when the browser should warn the user based on a set number of tabs open (i.e. If I want Vivaldi to warn me with 20 tabs open, I put in the setting "Warn me at 20 open tabs", and the browser will do so). Also, there should be a toggle that would enable/disable the warning, for those who don't want the warning at all.

@novaviper Similar to Optional Confirmation Dialog when Closing All Tabs but Active
One can close tabs to the left, to the right, all background tabs, or all selected tabs. In my opinion, a warning when closing selected tabs is clearly not needed.
-
@Pesala It would be like if I accidentally hit the X button on the browser, not just on individual tabs
-
I know it's not quite what you are asking for, but you could set the browser to open previous session when you start it.
And if you want a clean session just right-click on a tab a click "Close others". -
@novaviper That feature request has already been posted as Save and Quit Warning when Closing Vivaldi, but the number of tabs open is irrelevant. If only one speed dial tab is open, one will still see a warning on clicking the X button.
-
@Pesala That's where the toggle would come in, it would basically turn off that level of checking in case the specific number of tabs open doesn't matter to you. Also, if I changed the tabs check number to something more than one, then the person has to have more than one tab open to get the warning

@komposten I've been told this particular feature alot, but it doesn't really solve the problem as I still end up losing data and work. The entire purpose of this feature is to prevent accidental or glitchy clicks.
-
@novaviper I think the entire purpose of this feature is served by the Firefox option, or the linked feature request.
If someone is worried about the loss of 20 tabs, but not 19 tabs, and does not use Startup with last session, the linked issue covers it. Just confirm close if you don't care.

@Pesala
I find it annoying not to have these features. My set up means I can drop my mouse (disablity issue and then Vivaldi often closes by mistake. I do not want to have my last session opening routinely so this work round is no good for me. -
@allfrey Then vote for the linked feature request. You haven't upvoted any feature requests yet.
The other workaround is to reopen the closed tabs from the trashcan on restarting Vivaldi. Ctrl Z will do it, one tab at a time.
-
This would be a lifesaver. I closed all other tabs by accident too many times when trying to close a background tab. And since I had more than 60 tabs open, more than half of them couldn't be restored because of the history limit.

Hi,
I just posted a similar request to this one. Although it wasn't asking the same thing, it was archived and I've been asked to upvote and comment on this thread instead.
I'd like an option for Vivaldi not to show the Confirm window close dialog if the only tab in the window is the Start tab.
Perhaps an additional checkbox below the existing one: Only Windows With Open Tabs. -
The setting has been added and is enabled by default. It can be disabled and the tab limit can be changed in Settings > Tabs > Tab Handling.
