(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
All the old Opera 12.xx features I hope will be in the future Vivaldi and also some new features like visual bookmarks.
-
I miss the soft scrolling of web pages, just like in the old opera 12
-
I'd like Bookmarks to not assign (waste) letters on Bookmark Page… and Manage Bookmarks…
In explanation,I very much like the Opera feature of bringing up a bookmark by access key. Unfortunately, Opera wastes the letters "B" and "M." For instance, making a Baseball folder is unavailable due to the wasted "B" in Bookmark Page…
I realize it's standard to assign letters for menu options, but it really defeats the purpose in Opera bookmarks where I assign letters. So my suggestion would be to make the first two options "clickable" only.
I'd also like the ability to make a bookmark access key letter permanent. That's because a new bookmark can take the assigned letter of a bookmark I use frequently and don't want to change. For example, if I have a Tennis folder or bookmark, I don't want that letter to change when I add a bookmark.

When using two monitors, I'd like Vivaldi to open full-screen in the second monitor (the one not designated as the primary monitor). This is a Mac request–I don't know whether this would be a problem in Windows, etc.
-
FULL tab background colors could be considered.

I may be missing something, but I am using Vivaldi full-screen on my second monitor. Mac OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite). Maybe our monitor settings are different?

Something I'd like to see is being able to use the keyboard on music tabs such as Spotify web player, Pandora, or Soundcloud. So I could press a button (combination) to pause/play, skip, and previous.

I think being able to handle .torrent files would be awesome. Nothing to fancy just the ability to pick:
1)just download .torrent file
2) download the full torrent after downloading the .torrent file. -
The first thing I wanted was already there when I opened the browser for the first time…..a sidebar and Notes! Thank you! Other than that....
....ability to re-size the Google search bar
....ability to customize the interface (don't care for the "flat" look but I like the colors)
....a small window in the bottom of the bookmarks side panel to view snapshots of bookmarked sites (?)
....extensions, extensions, extensionsVivaldi is off to a good start with this preview
This is very exciting -
I would like to be able to move the minimize, maximize, and close buttons to the left of the window. Ubuntu and Mac OS X both have the close, minimize, maximize buttons on the left and it's weird when one program has the buttons on the other side.
-
-The original "Hide/Show images" button of Opera Presto (Vivaldi's button is not the same and doesn't work the same way).
-JS on/off button (or at least the ability to create one).

JS on/off button (or at least the ability to create one).
Clink on the icon in the left of the URL.

Why not create a poll with the feature-requests to determine the most popular?
Very good idea. But previously we need to collect your feature requests, isn't it?
-
I think the biggest missing is the developper tools (console, request, bench, dom parser ….)
The developper community help launching product mainly if is a browser.
Convinces the developpers community, get the world -
Hello, and thank you Vivaldi team! As a longtime user of Opera Presto, finding out about Vivaldi was a wonderful surprise.
I see many, if not all, of my favorite Opera features have already been planned, or at least requested in this topic. I have a request of my own, though. (If this has already been suggested, I must have missed it, sorry!)
After Opera switched to Chrome, I switched to Firefox. It was (and still is) a bit iffy to use, but there is one feature that I have come to love, and which I now use every day: Tab Groups
(see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-organize-tabs).While tab stacks serve a similar function, tab groups are in my opinion an even better way to stay organized when there are lots and lots of tabs.
I have a number of these groups in use, with related tabs in one group, like "Work", "Music", "Games", or whatever. I have one button on my toolbar, which shows the Tab Groups view, and in the normal browser view, the tab bar shows only the tabs for the selected group. This way the tab bar stays nice and uncluttered. With Opera 12, I often had my tab bar full of tabs and tab stacks, so the tabs would get really small, and it was kind of hard to know what is what.
I think this kind of tab group functionality would be great in addition to the tab stacks.

I'm excited to hear that the old Opera spirit is revived again :woohoo:
Hopefully I soon won't have to be using a not all to comfortable firefox with a ton of plugins to recreate some of the usability of Opera 12I'd like to see some of Opera 12's features return:
- customizability of the UI
- customizable web panels / sidebars
- feed reader
- site specific settings
- spatial navigation
- pinned tabs
- session management (save a specific set of tabs which will be restored on each startup of vivaldi)
- user scripts
I'm getting the feeling that some of these are very obvious features, but I coulnd't find a roadmap yet. Is there a roadmap available of the planned features of Vivaldi?
Keep up the good work! I'm really looking forward to the next Vivaldi releases!
-
Totally loving this so far!
I don't know if it's been mentioned and I'm not really willing to search :p but it would be great if the tab colour was kept when it was out of focus. Instead of fading back to totally plain grey, to keep a hint of the original active tab colour to help tell them all apart.
That would be fabulous!

(I dont want to use addons who will "probably" also be maintained in the future)
- Open blocked Popups in "real time"
old_opera:
Old opera had a built-in popup-blocker (for firefox there are addons). If a popup got blocked a little notifier would slide in at the bottom of the window to notify me about the blocked popup. And then, if i click on the notifier, the popup would actually open. THATS USEFUL, because its realtime. There are webpages i only visit once and i only want one popup to be opened!firefox:
With firefox the only option i have is to change the configuration for that website i actually probably visit just one time in my life. Maybe its possible to add that feature to firefox by searching one hour for the right addon. but i guess it doesnt exist after all.
Firefox-Addon for actual effective blocking: "Strict Pop-up Blocker 0.2"- Speed dial
old_opera:
Of course, by defailt opera has a good working speed dial.firefox:
The developers of Firefox have the nerve to replace the speed dial with some kind of "history log". How useful is that!? Do i always click on webpages who i was visiting yesterday? if i do so, i could just add them to a common speed dial. "Sometimes" i need to look for history-log…
However, for firefox there is an addon called "Speed Dial" (current version 0.9.6.16) and it works.- "click to play" for one element only
Face it, flash is a security hole. It must be a basic feature to block that.
old_opera:
With opera "click to play" worked just fine, i could enable just one flash-app on the webpage if wanted so. If there would have been any hidden flash-app on the webpage, it would not have been activated with Old opera.firefox:
For firefox that doesnt exist. If i click on a flash-app, ALL flash-elements on the webpage are starting. Thats not good enough, it is not secure. (and of course, again, i have to spend time looking for a good addon. Click-to-Play Manager 1.3.1)- Adblocker
old_opera:
Was built-in and did what it had to do.firefox:
Adblock Plus 2.6.7 that addon is an exception, it will be supported in the future, too. for sure- Sessions
old_opera:
opening a certain list of websites i stored in the sessions-menufirefox:
i dont know, if it exists. im not in the mood looking for another addon- "Edit Site Preferences..."
old_opera:
Right-click on a webpage and then click "Edit site Preferences". I get a set of useful options who overwrite global options.firefox:
Firefox only cares for security/permission-issues there. There isnt one addon to fix that lack.Okay, thats it, these are the missing features i was most angry about. Maybe they will exist in vivaldi after two years of development
But having addons is also nice:
More firefox-addons i am using: "YouTube ALL HTML5 2.1.3", "RightToClick 2.9.5", "Flash and Video Download 1.65" -
I'd second the request for profiles. Very useful when you have multiple logins for a site (e.g. Google - I have two work and two personal logins there).
