(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Above all, whatever you, please don't slow it down!
I've just been looking at it for a couple of days, but I love what I've seen so far. There are a couple of things I miss:
[ol]- Single click on a bookmark to open it as per other browsers.
- Maybe a right click on a bookmarks folder to add a bookmark
- Some easy way to close the edit window at the bottom of the left column. Can't find the "X"
- Some way to auto-fill forms.
- Maybe a right click on a bookmark to open the edit window.
[/ol]
Thank you for all your work.

I want the Bookmark bar to flexibile like Startbar was.

I really miss the hability to download video. An implantation like in Maxthon browser because when you get used to it it's particularly effective, even more than the add-on Download Helper in Firefox (which is great too). And it would add a feature that wasn't in the old Opera (even if you could manage to download videos thantks to the cache, but it wasn't very intuitive).
Good luck and keep going guys !
-
Most important feature on Opera Classic was for me
integrated IRC Client!So i dont see anywhere a feature request for this, hope you will integrate this in future releases - may obsolet with extension support but….i like more integrated stuff (like ad blocker, too)

It seems there aren't any shortcuts to jump to the search box, which is Ctrl+E for Opera, Ctrl+K for Fire Fox.
Though I can search from the address bar instead, I feel more comfortable if I can use the search box just like Opera 12.xx series. -

From my use so far:
-Be able to default the "default" page to about:blank
-On linux the windows top bar breaks the windows manager options, example, I can't move to another desktop, or set to be on top of another windows
-Incognito Mode
-Bookmark manager
-Usability
-What's the difference between forward/back and fast forward/back?
-Where do I switch the preview of the pages to collapse? somehow I set this up to enable and it takes a lot of space on the top of the browser
-(dis-usability in this case) expose as much options as you can: yes, control freak (or power user) here-Ultra short version: as you already have a custom topbar move the address bar to it, remove the search area and the bar on the bottom so you have just browser window
-
Move tabs to their own window
-
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?
