(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

spaderlol

Is it true I didn't really searched a lot for it, but for the "Import bookmarks and settings", adding Chrome to it would certainly help.

My absolute number one desired feature is right click + scroll wheel to cycle through tabs in most recently used order. Pretty much like how Opera 12 does it. I like to use a lot of tabs and switch between them pretty frequently and quickly and it makes a huge improvement on browser usability for me.

Currently, Opera 12 is the only browser that can do that, even with all the addons available for all other browsers it's still just Opera 12, so that's what I'm using. But I'd really like to be able to switch to something a bit more up to date, so I hope you put this feature in soon.

Yes - allow us to set speed dial as our home page.

AT LEAST, publish its address (I'm so far unable to discover it), so that I can enter it into the blank where homepage can be assigned in Settings.

Edit: OK - the startpage address is vivaldi://startpage - but when you assign the home page to this address, you get the "This web page is not available" error window (with vivaldi://startpage in the address bar) but then if you click in the address window and press "enter," BANG - you get speed dial. There has to be a way to make this work.

Thank you Vivaldi folks! This is the perfect cure for "the only good browser left in the world just turned into Chrome-with-mouse-gestures" depression.

I had a quick lookaround, and here's my feature wishlist (apart from "make it like O12" :p). Several of these may have been mentioned already, but just in case this is a democracy I'll repeat them.

Click on tab to minimize
Hotkey for reopening closed tabs
Hotkey for "reset zoom to 100%" (was * in Opera 12)
Paste & go, both via r-click in adress field and global (was ctrl-B in O12)
Proper implementation of "copy to note" and "insert note" as in opera 12
Bookmarks: should be sorted folders first, then by name
Also bookmarks: one-click opening of folders/bookmarks as in O12, currently needs double-clicks
Bookmarks should open in new tab by default (or at least an option to choose behaviour should exist)
Speed dial shortcuts, both 1,2 etc in menu bar ("1","2",etc. opens first/second etc thing on sd) and ctrl+1, ctrl+2 globally
Private tabs
Support for add-ons/extensions (e.g. adblock etc)
Option to restore last session as in O12 [EDIT: oh, how'bout that, this already works. Got misled by previous posts :D]

Hope you can make it!

I was a pretty huge fan of Opera during the pre-Chromium days, and wish I could say the same about the Chromium-based version. It just feels… wrong. I've been using Chrome as a stopgap while waiting for Opera to regain their original focus, but it's been years. I've barely used Vivaldi and it's just a technical preview now, but I feel at home already.

I would like to see extension support, the customizable interface of Opera 12.x and private tabs/windows. Those were the features I loved the most about Opera, aside from tab stacking, which is already there, and would love to see them come back.

Paste and go
Edit Speed Dial, and thumbnail selection. Create folders moving one speed dial on another.
When I change default search, right click on selected word still show: "Search Google for:". It should search with my default search engine.
Bugs:
When you write 0 in some text boxes, it starting to zoom in. There is some other numbers and letters with same problem.

Hello everyone,

Few nice things I would like to see…
Mac user btw. and a very very old school Opera user

[ul]

History … searchable, with advanced search options .... and especially with listing recently closed paged with a shortcut for opening the last one
Expanding back and forward buttons with list of recent pages…
Expanding refresh with auto refresh every X minutes…
Sessions and session manager…
Form manager with preloaded data in settings…
Locking tabs so they are never closed…
Developers toolkit similar to dragonfly… Current one is ok, but it could be improved
Private browsing and parental block based on keywords…
Rss reader…
Presentation mode, with a proper fullscreen and stuff. And also, maybe, private browsing, so that once you are presenting, skeletons from the history don't come hunting you
[/ul]

I would like a swipe to navigate function. For instance, on OS X in Chrome and Safari I can two (or three) finger swipe to the left to go back. The opposite to go forward but I rarely use that function.

Also, a Bookmarks Bar up top would be great.

XtremAlRaven

Lazy tab loading (absolutely a must; plus, maybe some intelligent unload of long unused tabs)
Right mouse button + scroll to navigate the tabs in MRU order (like in O12)

raffx

Please, add a possibility save image with Ctrl+LMB on it.

YemSalat

Richt-click on a tab -> Close all tabs to the LEFT

Please!! Thank you!

Why not create a poll with the feature-requests to determine the most popular?

Ability to give a hug to all devs
pressing escape key to defocus adress tab after pressing ctrl+l

new tab gesture

Self Destructing Cookies

The same functionality as this Firefox Extension

Agree about the white bar. This is just like the vilified white (or very light grey or light grey) theme in MsOffice 2013. More importantly, it makes it impossible to tell whether the app has focus. I can't tell you how many times I've started typing (or worse, hit the delete key) thinking I was in one app, only to find out another app had focus.

Details: Windows 7

I'm not sure what a "Bookmarks Bar" means; what I want is a bookmarks menu, accessible like all the other menu items

Pretty good for a first TP version of a new browser, hope you can make it better in future!
Here's my experience and suggestions.

Tabs can be on bottom, this is really awesome!
I want Smooth Scroll just like Opera 12!!!
Other functions still missing for me: Fill the form, Sync (Speed Dial+Bookmarks), Import Bookmarks
Add a right click menu option to fast open the current webpage in other browsers like IE.
Add Chinese language support in coming releases.
Add an option to change default fonts.

UI:

Add an option in settings to allow "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximized"
Add an option to change column numbers of Speed Dial then we can adjust manually to fit our screen well.

I somehow didn't see this thread when I made my own yesterday, so I'll paste my wish list in here instead.

For a technical preview this browser is looking promising! Hopefully they can restore the old Opera magic. Here's my wish list of features:

Sessions / Session Manager
Click-to-play (for video and plugins)
Adobe Flash support?? (at least it doesn't seem to load the plugin on my WIn8.1 laptop, haven't tried on a Win7 machine)
Confirm on Exit
Be able to turn off password manager
custom themes
When right-clicking a link, have an option to open the link in a tab in the background (same as Ctrl-click, but it's nice to actually have the menu option)
Javascript options/controls
Be able to set default download location
Download dialog box remembers the last location that you saved a file to
Paste & Go

[Edit]

Ctrl-Shift-T to open previously closed tab

noJohns

Be able to make the tabs extend to the top of the screen (for maximized window)
Option to allow the menu bar to overlap the screen instead of resizing what is inside your window (and stop resizing other tabs when you open/close the menu bar so you don't have to see it resize when you go back to a different tab)

I want :every mail i recieved can add a "Note" or "tip" text, it only for myself to remember something for long time.
