(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
@TBallmann:
Please let set an option to empty the browser cache on closing Vivaldi (with the parameters set in "Browserdaten löschen").
You can do this in a limited way by pasting this into your address bar: vivaldi://chrome/settings/content
Find Cookies > Keep local data until you quit your browser.

@TBallmann:
How to middle click without mouse or if the mouse has a scroll wheel (in that case the wheel will be out of order very quickly)
Just buy a decent mouse.
My m705, for example, is still working perfectly after 5 years or so of heavy usage.

How can i modify the speed dial to have more than 6 columns (e.g. 9-10, we got widescreens ) and manually decrease/increase size of items?
Some thing like in Opera 12 :
[attachment=1796]operaspeeddial.jpg[/attachment]I suggest adding option to block refresh, delete and edit (hopefully in future) buttons in speed dial because sometimes sh!t happens and instead of turn on I end up deleting item.

Make Quick Commands more useful:
1 Filter tabs on whatever is typed in. Otherwise commands and history are not even visible if you have 10+ tabs and require too much down arrow hits even you have 5 of them.
2. Allow to change order of things (open tabs, commands, history) or at least optionally remove tabs. This way it will permit predictable behaviour: press F2, type "plu", hit Enter and you get to Plugins Page. Now this doesn't work, tab filtering will make it work, but sometimes you will just open random website with "plu" in its title or URL.
3. Make matching fuzzy. E.g. "pp" for Plugins Page.
4. Add more things in: all the items from main menu, all the sections of settings, etc.
P.S. and please remove google search from there, we already have search bar and search in address bar. Or at least make it optional or lower priority, see 2.

A few other quick requests of small things I would like changed in the UI:
Remove the gradient from things like the + icon in the speed dial page, the x in the search bar, and the folders in the bookmarks bar. Make it flatter looking, so that it's more consistent with the overall flat design. Making the home button doorless for minimalism would help with that too, and help make the icons look more minimalistic like Edge. For that matter, scaling the icons to be large enough to align with the height of the address bar would help give it that feel as well.
Also, can you guys PLEASE just add in the option to remove extension icons??? Seriously, no matter how I'm told to remove the icons from Windows 10 running the 64-bit version of Vivaldi through CSS, it never works! I've tried those suggestions and I can't get it to work. I just want to be able to remove them.
When the Vivaldi team does make their own right click menu, they should also make the highlight color the color of what the website is. It's not much, but it's something nice to add for consistency. This was something someone else suggested it be done In red, but I thought it would be cool if it was done in the color of the website you're on.
Make the clicking of items on the bookmarks bar trigger a transition animation. Make the items pop out and down from it's folder.
And for that matter, make EVERY little click in the browser trigger a smooth animation, in and out(a la Material Design), of whatever you're doing and going for within the browser. It'll make it feel very modern. Optimize it for best and smooth performance possible.
One thing I would love to add with making smooth transitions is the use of smoothly adding, deleting, and switching between tabs. Yes, tabs are so crucial to everyday web browsing, and the smooth transition of these would add to the modern feel and performance of the browser.
This could be a part performance, part UI upgrade, but I would love it if switching between tabs triggered the color change to transition smoothly to the color of the website you're switching to, rather than abruptly changing colors. The shade of red from the Vivaldi website, transforming into the green of the TechCrunch site when you've switched tabs.
And when you've added a new tab, make it so a tab pops up from the end, expands and fills it's space beside the other tabs, and the other tabs moving accordingly to fit the new tab with the rest. And when you're closing a tab, do the opposite. Make it contract into nothing and have the other tabs smoothly expanding to refill the space of the closed tab.
With the panel, having smooth transitions overall would also help greatly in the making of a modern feeling browser.
And guys, I don't mean for animations and things like that to make the browser inefficient so as to make the animations slow and clunky. I'm talking about quick, fluid animations. You wouldn't have enough time to click on the target area of the screen before the animation ends, and so, when done right, makes the browser feel fast.

Off topic.
Is there a place where I can get documentation about how Vivaldi uses CSS/Javascript?You can look at the Vivaldi CSS through the inspector by editing the properties of your Vivaldi shortcut and adding```
--remote-debugging-port=1004[Here is also an awesome thread with tons of tweaks and how to use them.](https://vivaldi.net/forum/all/3073-vivaldi-ui-customisations) -
Feature request:
Add right-click on image > image properties just like Opera had to get detailed information on a picture (like aperture, camera make, exposure, iso, focal length, etc - when available).
-
- Shortcuts can be edited to whatever you like. I use / for find in page. Tools, Settings, keyboard
- Also selectable in Tools, Settings, Tabs.
-
@VikMorroHun:
- I'd say enlarging/reducing of a web page/font size should be in Vivaldi. It's a basic feature in other browsers.
Paste this into your address field: vivaldi://chrome/settings/fonts
-
Optional dark colors for vivaldi:// urls and the Vivaldi websites? I like having dark themes for everything, which I use Stylish to install, but I was curious if dark themes for the Vivaldi urls could be implemented as an option.
I know dark theme is an option for the browser itself, I just mean the vivalid:// urls, like the addons list, flags list, etc. And maybe even the Vivalid community and forum websites themselves? I don't know, I'd just like the option.
-
Having the suburl part of the main url grayed out like other browsers.
Adding more thumbnail photos for Speed Dial like I was able to do with ChrOpera.
Removing this bug with the horizontal/vertical scrollbar flashing up on a new tab.
When I pin Vivaldi to my taskbar on Windows, it pins a large icon. When I click on it, a small icon shows up beside it as the window. This has been going on with snapshots for a month and 1/2 now. If I try pinning the small icon it doesn't work.
Those are some small visual suggestions I have for now. Will probably have some more later on.
-
@VikMorroHun:
I did it. I can change the font type but not the size. I like to use Ctrl and + or - keys.
Another thing: the bookmarks in Firefox or Chrome has a little icon at the beginning. Not in Vivaldi. This would help to distinguish them from another.You should be able to change font sizes in the browser with this extension. Otherwise, you should be able to zoom in/out with ctrl +/- and with ctrl + shift + scroll
-
-
Add a "show password" button in Password Manager menu, sometimes i can' login automatically and I need remember my password, then if I could look at it, find it, would make it easier.
And a supports for Password Manager recognizes when a site there are more than two logins and shows it to the user for he selects among the logins he will use. -
On bookmark icon menu, makes a difference between main folders and subfolders.

Speed Dial: presently it doesn't work but even when it does I don't feel like page thumbnails are the way to go.
OSX used to have a feature where you could turn a section of any webpage into a widget: http://osxdaily.com/2013/08/19/make-dashboard-widget-web-page-mac-os-x/
This would be better for speed dial images. If you want just the website logo then when you create a new dial you drag a rectangle around the logo. If instead you want your dial image to be the odds on your bookies' webpage then you drag the rectangle around the part of the webpage that has the odds. For newspapers select the main headline, and so on. Vivaldi can then check the website on a sliding scale (like how gmail checks pop3 accounts) to see how often the content gets updated, whether that be everytime a new tab is opened, or less than once a day.
-
I really want the inspector not to be in a separate window. I frequently forget that I have one open and it covers up precious screen space.
-
This would be better for speed dial images. If you want just [a detail] then when you create a new dial you drag a rectangle around [it]
Thumbnails are fine
(and they do work since the last update or so, so you may want to get one of the latest versions, or otherwise see why it does not work for you)But your suggestion looks extra cool. Probably not high priority, but a definite must I say.

I hope Vivaldi devs read this topic.
I just tried Vivaldi browser on Linux and i really miss following things:
[ol]- I've enabled tabs at the bottom. The problem is that they're not tied to the bottom (so I can't just move mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen and click on tab).
- [Favorite sites shown by the click on the address bar (instead of separate favorites bar). For example you can check Apple's Safari,[li]
- For some reason, when I click on buttons of the message editor (at this forum), I can't undo effect of the button by pressing Ctrl-Z. May be it's a forum's bug, not the browser.
- I can't change encoding of the page
- I can't edit address of the bookmarks on the favorites bar. Also I can't add new favorites just by drag'n'drop to the bar or by right-clicking the bar.
- Favorites bar for some reason not showing favicons of bookmarks
- It would be better if Vivaldi will have an option to keep all tabs colored, not just the current.
- I think also would be better if the browser will have an option to switch between native and Vivaldi's toolbar (File, Edit, View and so on) like it now have for the window controls
[/ol]
Thank you. Atm I will go back to the Yandex browser. Nevertheless it looks not so good but now it's more useful.

Vivaldi meet all my needs right now except for three features.
#1: The ability to use Unity Web Plugin. It is required for some of the games I play. Currently it is working on the Mac (10.10.5) version of Vivaldi, but not Windows (7).
#2: The ability to open the pages saved on your speed dial with a keyboard shortcut like in Opera 12. With commands such as CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc.
#3: Being able to edit the speed dial thumbnails (the square previews of the pages on the speed dial page) without having to go to /users/username/AppData/Local/Vivaldi/User Data/Default and opening the Bookmarks folder and editing file. Which I might add does not work on Mac, only Windows.Perhaps the first one is just a bug, could be.
There is also one more feature that would be nice. Being able to open every page in a bookmarks folder at the same time. -

It isn't a bug. It's because of Google deprecating NPAPI (which Unity uses) and it's affecting Vivaldi because of it being based off Chromium. You'll probably have to play them offline or install Firefox.

1. Vivaldi settings > Tabs > Check "Remove Tab Spacing in Maximized Windows." Also toggle the status bar if you haven't already.
5. Paste this into your address bar: "vivaldi://settings/fonts" Scroll down to "Encoding."
6. Use the bookmarks manager in the sidebar or on the new tab page for now.
7. Go to Vivaldi settings > Appearance > Bookmark Bar Display > Make sure "Text and Icon" is checked.
