(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
- 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.
-
Well something that I hate in Opera and Chrome at all is selecting text of links. This function just sucks. I don't think that the people who use drag/drop links are more then people who are trying to select the text of the links and almost always fail…
-
does anyone remember a guy named Tamil and his info on customisable buttons? we need him and his buttons back.
-
I'd like to edit a document in a webpage but I cannot help putting keys as shortcut. I can edit mails and spreadsheets but not documents. I see the same error both in google drive document and microsoft office online.

First of all huge thanks to all the developers for the cool and nice browser. I have several feature requests
[ul]- 1. Merge URL bar with the search bar
- 2. It would be great if we can pin tabs
- 3. Add 2 default themes, another theme with curved edges
- 4. Integrate Hola VPN to browser as a built in feature
- 5. Better password manager
[/ul] - Since its mentioned that plugin support is on the way I didn't include it.
Sorry if I'm being too demanding and grumpy. I like your browser and what see it becoming good alternative for Chrome
Thanks and cheers!

Well. I am using Opera since my first pc. I tried many other browsers, but opera was always my primary browser and best option for me and it still is. I stopped experimenting and downloading "new" browsers long time ago. I don't need any other browser than opera, but when i i saw that vivaldi developer is ex-opera CEO, i decided to give it a shot.
So let make a quick summary/sugestion of vivaldi.
As i tried vivaldi, i finded out its not usable for me (at this very moment). A few "basic things" is missing:
1. Extensions (addons) or call it however. As i am using opera, i will name extensions from opera that are "must have" for me.- AdBlock Plus - In today's life, when every page is full of banners, ads and many other things, its unimaginable for me to surf without Adblock and Ghostery.
- Ghostery
- WOT - Saved me many times from infected sites.
- LastPASS - Most advanced and most user friendly free password security extension.
- Magic Actions for YouTube - I cant imagine to watch youtube videos without this great extension!
- SaveFrom.net helper or YouTube Downloader
- Translator
Also i would like to see in next versions of vivaldi:
- Open private tabs/windows
- Paste & Go option - (CTRL+SHIFT+V) in opera
- Ability to turn off password manager
- Clear history
- Ability to set startup options to: "Continue where I left off", "startup with homepage", "speed dial as a homepage" etc.
- Mouse gestures.
- Synchronization with a server (like opera link)
- Merge url and search bar
- About speed dial: it would be good to just drag&drop one speed dial thumbnail into another and make "folder" in that way, not only clicking on "+" to make a new folder and than adding links "manually" to it.
When you have open speed dial folder, it would be good to click "beside" folder to exit, not only to click on "up" button. (opera have done it that way). - Also, it would be good to have option "edit" in speed dial, not only delete.
- Resizable speed dial thumbnails (at least options to use small ones)
I will keep an eye on vivaldi, and who knows, maybe one day it will be my first choice.
-
- Mouse gestures
- Themes and be able to customize
- Traditional menu bar (File, Edit, View, Bookmark, Tool and Help) like the one below. Add this as a option
Example:
-
First of all: find an easy way to toggle javascript on/off; something like the F12 in blessed Opera 12 and earlier. I refuse to browse with javascripts swirling around. I get seasick and feel vertigo.
Quick summary after only a short investigation:
"edit site preferences" is important; put it on right mouse click
put "full screen" on right mouse click as well
put link to w3c "validate" on right mouse click, too … to help us web designers
possibility for external editor on "view page source", please
drop tab bar in full screen mode to make it full screen.I'll keep an eye on this, install releases when I find them, and write a full report later on. Keep on the good work, fellas ... I've never liked Firefox nor any other browser since the starry autumn night '98 when I first stumbled upon Opera 3.6 - but Opera nowadays is just a joke.
... and please make a 32bit .deb : there are a lot of Tuxes on old architecture out there, myself thriving better in Linux environment.

Link selection would be cool.

Hi, so here is my arbitrary wishlist. I presume some of the entries are already in the roadmap and some might be nigh impossible, but I included everything just in case:
- Dragonfly,
- Unite,
- Optional borders (because I like to see the whole title http://puu.sh/fbgRZ/2a317c3872.png ),
- Synchronization settings and clear statement on all the privacy/security stuff,
- Mail client with RSS, CalDAV interface to go well with FastMail?
- Proper (O12-like) vivaldi:config
- Click to play plugin blocker (including HTML5 video?),
- Spellchecker,
- Image properties (resolution, metadata, number of frames…)
- Performance analysis for tabs, extensions, add-ons and plug-ins,
- Optional sandboxing,
- Option to delete all (new) cookies on exit,
- Narrower panel toggle,
- Powerful IRC client?,
- Somewhat powerful FTP client?
- Noscript,
- Easily executable "clean profile" instance
- User agent masking,
- Possibility to block elements / divs of specific name on specific site?,
- Something like "Info" from O12,
- Speed dial tuning,
- Detailed site loading progress bar (again, like O12, with speed, transfered data, etc),
- More mouse gestures,
- Detailed download window/tab with graphs, dates, download speed it finished with,
- ctrl+z to open last closed tab (yes I know ctrl+z is context sensitive),
- Tab subwindow arranging,
- Right click+mousewheel scroll for tab switching,
- "Reading" mode like in IE on WP… it takes the (I presume) biggest chunk of text on the page (an article and whatnot) and displays only that white on black background, which is I think very pleasant to the eyes (alternatively it could be black on white). I have no idea how difficult this is to do...
- Possibility to support the development via a subscription (sort of like Linus Tech Tips have) or something.
My background is quite obviously years of using Opera, since like version 6 or 7.
- Mouse gestures
- Themes and be able to customize
- Traditional menu bar (File, Edit, View, Bookmark, Tool and Help) like the one below. Add this as a option
Example:
Well, most gestures I use already work from what I can tell and the menu thing is possible right now as well ("Main menu type" in options).
-
-
Speed Dial Keyboard shortcuts: CTRL + 1 opens Dial 1, CTRL + 2 opens Dial 2 etc.
-
Mouse gestures: All of them
-
URLFILTER.INI Ad Blocking and the right-click Block Content… menu
-
S/MIME support in your Mail client
-
change default search engine
-
CTRL + B for "Paste and go"
-
When filling out forms, like this very forum editing window here, and I press Enter, the cursor vanishes. I have to click into the text field again to see it.
-
-
Need Extensions :whistle:
-
I'd like to see hold right clik in back arrow below vivaldi icon to go back history page list and choise the page needed
-
Hi, Wish the best for real and MY Opera
Ok, I start with flaws,
""I know it's a TP""
New tab shortcut functions doesnt work such as : Ctrl+T, Ctrl+Shift+T
opening a new tab with mouse middle click is needed.
change the skin, i like it , but maybe it's not the case for everybody
Ctrl+Enter that completes the site name (.com) does not work…
that's it for now
~HOPE IT CRUSHES ALL THE OTHER BROWSERS~ -
Okay, for starters, what I really need is a bookmark bar (What used to be called a personal bar) and a way to import Opera 2x bookmarks. All of them, with folder structure.
And then I am free to stick with Vivaldi even when it's feature incomplete yet :).
-
I'd really like "Split View" option: have 2 sites open in one tab. E.g. on the left I can have a Jira issue open and on the right the page the issue is about.
-
It looks as if most things have already been requested, but I'll add a list of things that will be most important to me:
[ul]- Extension support
- Search directly from address bar, if what was entered is not a url
- Customize mouse gestures, rocker gestures & right-click scrolling through tabs
- Interface customization a la opera presto (i.e. drag & drop)
[/ul]
-
I can see it's a great browser for Opera12 users. I'm one of you. I'm really impressed with Vivaldi browser. Everything I need was already mentioned. So I will only repeat features I liked most and used most in O12, but first I want to thank you for what it already is. I like:
- Notes.
- Side panel.
- Disable images.
- Page actions.
- Speed dial.
- Mouse gestures.
- Switching tab by recently used order.
- All opened tabs visible (no scrolling like firefox).
- Delete button for each history record from auto-complete while typing address.
What I miss the most, they are must-have for me, that's why I'm O12 user still, together with things already implemented (above):
- Site specific preferences. Especially I want to disable cookies for everybody and then decide where I want enable site only or 3rd party as well. This is the hardest one… Also I would like other options like referrer, user-css/js, etc. But user tracking options the most.
- Single key shortcut, for search I find it very comfortable: ".", Ctrl+G, Ctrl+Shift+G.
- Ctrl+Shift+V in address bar is "paste & go". I use IE as default for domain access to intranet.
- In context menu for selected text I would like to have "Go to web address" - as I would copy it, go to address bar and press Ctrl+Shift+V.
- Download manager - please add Save File Dialog. No need for flat design for it, native system window look is very ok.
- Right-click + wheel-scroll to switch tabs with all tabs listed (no preview, just titles + eventually address in status bar).
- Disable plugins, so I can be sure site will not execute flash ad or java applet. The best would be list of items requiring plugins, so I can enable plugin for 1 element only.
- Middle-click opens tab next to current one.
- Auto-refresh.
I would like to see below as well, I can live without it, even I use it quite often:
- O12 tab stacking with expand/collapse and drag&drop for tab or stack.
- Disable Javascript and other actions in customizable UI.
- Allow me to disable password manager. Well, it's not often, one time click, then forget and enjoy no pop-up :D.
- Disable tab preview.
- PageInfo panel with references to css and js files, code page etc.
- Links panel (all links in a page).
- Windows panel (active tabs).
- Restore last closed tab as tab-context menu item.
- Clear tab trash.
- Save page as one file.
- RSS reader.
- Content block.
Features below I like, but it's more like small details to me:
- Private tabs in same window. I can use another browser for private mode if there will be no site preferences.
- Context menu options within web sites: show image details, show background image, add note (on selected text).
- Tab loaded indicator. O12 has folded tab corner for it.
- O12 extended loading bar.
-
Really good start - it already feels a bit like old Opera, which I finally abandoned for Firefox. I'm looking forward to coming back, but not just yet.
For me, the main thing is the main browser window - let me just have a normal, windows-provided window with a normal title bar. Please. I don't want your red self-rendered thing, just normal menus and buttons like every other application.
