(Optional) Widgets bar
-
No way. Vivaldi does not need to be all things for all people.
This idea sound like panels on top. Ugh. Just use the panels on the side.
This should be a non-starter. More and more browsers are trying to be
minimalist. Why take up more real estate? -
@para-noid No way? If it's optional and if other people would like to have it, why not offering an additional feature that wouldn't impact the ones who don't need it? When I see the number of persons using Rainmeter, Samurize, xWidget, etc. it seems some could be interested to have such features directly included in a browser.

@ornorm
Who will develop these widgets for a small user base that Vivaldi has?A thin bar like this would restrict the possibilities. You can have much better screen use with vertical areas, but we already have sidebar panels for those.
I don't see how it differs in functionality from sidebar panels.

@nekomajin Ok, you don't like the idea. You're free to think so.
Personally, I don't have any idea of the size of the user base you are referring to. You might have information I don't own.
The idea was, as already explained, just to attract new users to Vivaldi because I think that Vivaldi is a great browser with a huge potential that should be spread to more and more users. Having original concepts that might be a plus compared to the competitors was, for me, something to take into account.
It's only a concept that could, maybe, inspire some. That's all.
It's the third time you comment this post to say you don't see the added value of it. I think I understood your point of view.
I already explained the difference with the web panels previously.
I just wanted to have a positive approach, I just wanted to share an idea. You don't like it. Ok. You don't like it. -
@nekomajin I have panel still active and something like this idea is good for me. Maybe opt. āāāā because I have free the top.
@Ornorm one more question: how do you think this'd look like:
[space][widget][space]
ā[widget]ā
or
[widget][widget][widget] etc.? Still opt.? -
@potmeklecbohdan It could be [widget][widget][widget] if you choose for more than one widget in the bar (eg : Music player + weather + social network) or ā[widget]ā if you go for just one widget.
-
@ornorm ā[widget]ā means widget + arrows for switching.
-
@potmeklecbohdan Oooooh! Sorry, I thought it was about the widget taking the entire width of the bar.
Ok, interesting! That might be a nice option as well. -

@para-noid I'm patient. @Ornorm is patient too AFAIK.

@para-noid Don't worry. I know some could not want to have such feature and I respect this. I'm open for any advice, comment (positive or negative). I just doubt about the ones posting three times the same kind of comment. I just don't get the added value of it.
About the RSS feature. I know that a lot are waiting for it (me included as @potmeklecbohdan wrote) and it's also a reason why I did include it into it.
I mentioned Rainmeter for example because it could be a source of inspiration to implement this (RSS included) into a browser because it is based on a kind of "pull" technology (I'm not expert enough to know if what I write here is correct) that can bring all those different informations and features to the end user. I thought having them into the browser we use on a daily basis could be even better than having to go to our desktop (that we don't watch that often).
In any case, don't be afraid, I don't see lot of people upvoting this feature request so... not sure it will be implemented one day -
@ornorm Nothing wrong with asking nor hoping. I've had a few shot down even quicker. Never give up on hope.
Don't worry we never judge. FWIW, all Ambassadors are volunteer users who spread the word about Vivaldi. As are the forum moderators. -
@para-noid For sure.
About the Ambassadors and the Moderators, I really know how engaged you are and that you do it as volunteers and you have (since the first day of my presence on this forum) all my due respect. I mean it.
About that specific subject, I think we, the forum users, sometimes forget how much you help us, how much time is spent to find solutions, workarounds, mods, etc. and, sometimes, even explanations for impatient users that kind of want the next release NOW. I really respect the Vivaldi community (team, community managers, etc.) for their patience, their understanding, their sensitivity with a community which becomes bigger and bigger day after day. This means more topics to treat, to moderate, to answer to with limited means.
In any case, I know you don't judge. You share your point of view and I really appreciate this.
I'm just sometimes confused about the way some can share it...
