(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Oh one more important Feature
"Session Management" (Save multiple sessions for later use)
-
Hello! I love what I'm seeing so far and really positive to read about how you guys are hoping to make a browser for the us 'nerds' and cool Opera refugees out there
When I did the migration from Opera to Firefox I spent a long time on the Mozilla add-ons site to find the extensions I needed to emulate the Opera experience as close as possible. Here are some really good ones that makes Firefox as good as Opera (well, almost…)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/stian/opera-refugees/Hopefully the Vivaldi devs can take some inspiration from these!
Notes:
Adblock: Opera had a wonderful ad-blocker built in, and you could customize it. You don't even need to add blocked sites to Adblock Plus, it blocks 99.9% of what's out there. You can also exclude sites if you want to accept their ads to support them.
Add Bookmark Here: Really needed for those of us concerned about organizing a library of bookmarks, makes it easy to place a bookmark in the correct folder.
All in one Sidebar: Some of the functions old Opera had in the sidebar, like the Info page.
Auto-sort Bookmarks: The default in Firefox and other browsers are just plop a bookmark in a folder and not sort them alphabetically. This quickly leads to a mess to clean up.
Cookie Monster: Like Opera's Site Manager feature, you can block cookies from every domain except the ones explicitly allowed.
(sort of...)Cookies Manager: It's important we can have full access to edit cookies in a proper editor.
Customizable Shortcuts: A must-have, and a mystery why for instance Firefox does not allow one to edit keyboard shortcuts.
FireGestures: Mouse gestures are a must-have for Opera fans obviously
InstantFox: A brilliant add-on for customizing search engines, and have auto-completion. If the site does not have auto-complete, you can use Google's autocomplete.
Reload Every: not a big one but Opera had this by default and it was sometimes very useful
Speed Dial: I guess this is already in Vivaldi but it's important it can be customized to my liking, not like the Chrome "most recent" start page.
With these add-ons, Firefox is as close to the Opera experience as I can remember, at least for my preferences.
The biggest thing I miss in Firefox are options for keyboard/spatial navigation, and I am thrilled Vivaldi will implement this! Way to go! :woohoo:
-
I would like to see the following:
1. Extension support
2. More search engine options, without the need for manual input (Bing, Yahoo, etc.)
3. More Privacy options (Click to play, Private Tabs, Disable option for Form filling and Password saving, Delete history and cookies on exit, Disable referrer, Popup Blocking, etc.)
4. A more extensive bookmark manager with toolbar support.
5. UI Customizations (Right-click on bars, background changing for speed dial, themes, etc.) -
This is what made Opera my favourite browser! I need this again in my life.

Like the indicator for download progress
It would be cool when the arrow will be colorized by an animation to generate attention for finished downloads 
Even better when it would be colored in an eye-catching colour 
when downloads are finished.Also i like the new privacy and security settings in relation to google services.
In moment Vivaldi crashes to often.
I want to use Vivaldi as my default Browser, hope stable will arive soonPLease, check the latest snapshot. We added some progress visualisation to the downloads panel icon
-
I may not be finding by using the Search function or web search, but is there a keyboard shortcut for moving to the search window to the right of the address bar? If not, this really needs to be added, preferably tied to Ctrl+K.
-
Mobile Platforms!
Better Desktop Sync.
Ubuntu Mobile OS
ios.
android.
windows universal app.
chrome os?
firefox os.
Tizen.
Blackberry.
Vivaldi would be a great browser if i can sync my data from device to device, with bookmarks and encrypted saved passwords.The only browser I know that can sort of do this well is chrome unfortunately.

Doublepost!
For people like me with non-retina Macs, the side bar/panel icons are a bit fuzzy, so maybe either (or both) optional non-retina optimized icons or a way to slightly increase the size (or possible decrease if even smaller icons are added)
Also a setting for the color transition time, slowing it down a bit to see the full change in color would be neat. -
-
On several site I have visited, the color either is not found (gray bar), or Vivaldi picks some other color apart from the most common one or the accent one.
Would manual color picking, then saving for that page and optionally all pages on that domain, for Viv to recall upon next visit, be possible?
EDIT: On top of the page -
Most if not every browser can close a menu (for example) by clicking on either the open icon or the surrounding page etc.
Vivaldi only closes these if you click on the icon again.
Bug? Lack of feature? -
Most if not every browser can close a menu (for example) by clicking on either the open icon or the surrounding page etc. Vivaldi only closes these if you click on the icon again.
On W7 64bit I can click on the empty part of a page and the V menu will close.
-
I've noticed that bookmark bar is active. Hoooray!!! Now Vivaldi is already my default browser!
The only thing that I miss is the address bar feature…. What I'd like to have is that when I click into address bar, I get a list of most used url's. Firefox has it, explorer too.... I think it is called "Drop down button"
And yes, disabling autocomplet would be nice. Or atleast optional!
Not sure if Vivaldi already has this. This is the only thing I'd like to set
-
Requesting more image blocker options:
1. checkbox to inherit settings from current tab when opening new tab (ctrl-clicking a link or by Ctrl+T)
2. setting for all new tabs (global option)Would be best if you would implement full functionality from Firefox's ImgLikeOpera extension, per-url (not site) settings is least priority but good to have.
This option is very helpful for NSFW sites and currently pictures are enabled on all new tabs by default, even if images are disabled on my current tab. -
Ok, must be on OS X version only
Bug thenEDIT: seems to work now
I think the newest release fixed this -
I am fan of keyboard control. In Chromium browsers, I have Vimium extension installed, but it doesn't always work. There are some sites or special browser tabs, where it fails to function (for example on trello.com, some keys don't work).
Vivaldi, like old opera has brought native custom keyboard shortcut settings, it's very helpful. But could you guys add more actions to that list? For example, setting "prev/next page" action is missing.
Also, sometimes shortcuts on vivaldi seem to fail as well, I have X set to close tab, but it doesn't work in 100% of the time, just fails in some web pages. My guess is that Vivaldi can't handle single-key shortcuts well yet.
-
My current priorities:
General
- Open closed tab with Ctrl + Shift + T / Command + Shift + T
- Pin tab- Inspect Element fixed on the page (currently it's in another floating page)
- Close button goes to Speed Dial when there's no other tab left
- Anonymous tab/window
- Password manager
Mac
- Alt/option button changes fullscreen button to maximize
-
1. Maybe have sense use buttons "Back" and "Forward" for navigate in speed dial?
2. Please, add button for expand tab group. -
My feature requests:
[ul]- Mouse wheel Scroll over tab bar to change tabs
- Support wildcards like %s in the bookmarks
[/ul]
I mean aliases or "Nicknames" as they are called are already supported, supporting wildcards like %s in regular bookmarks like Firefox does, (and like the original Opera did too, I believe) would be great!
Hell I would even love to see totally ditching search engines all together and simply replace them with bookmarks, management would be much simpler and unified with the already great Bookmark manager, no need to maintain or improve a separate UI for the search engine manager.
