(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
A friend suggested the command to open previous page in a new tab, using Ctrl + left click on back button.
Great browser! Reminds me the Opera's past times. I loved that browser.
An RSS Feed Client will be great too!
-
Thank you for the browser who gets closer and closer to the way a browser should be in my eyes!
One feature I miss and didn't see noted here: The Opera Presto's Password storage could store more than two fields, not only username and password. Some sites need addition values to login. Example: https://www.jobs.ch/en/ecom
It would be great to have this function in Vivaldi to.
Also the one click login button I miss so far. -
Two things that bothered me:
[ul]
- Add a local proxy settings window. Chrome can be set to use a proxy server specified in command line args, so this is not a hard thing to implement, but it's really useful. I use several browsers, and I prefer to have my main using my proxy. The rest should use the system-wide settings.
- Separate UI window from the content, like when you wait for a page to load, the whole interface freezes. This is especially noticeable with weaker CPUs. It is easy to test, just throttle your CPU in Windows Power Settings, or whatever you use, and you will see how the content is blocking the UI.

Welcome to the Vivaldi forum. What kept you for so long?
1. I think lazy loading and F5 already helps you here
2. Search with only default engine so far, but you can change the default
3. Frequently requested
4. Costs real money to implement I suppose. No rush, try Xmarks extension
5. I love my opera:button code and customised toolbars opera:/button/Execute%20program,%20%22C:/Program%20Files/7-Zip/7zFM.exe%22,,,%227zip%22%22
6. One day
7. There is a History Tab in the speed dial
8. Some things are hidden in Chrome settings
9. Click to zoom, middle-mouse button to pan fast scroll in all directions
10. Also frequently requested. There is a thread on customising thumbnails for speed dial. Editing name in speed dial and URL in bookmarks
11. Copy to clipboard and paste into an image application as a workaround for nowI would love to be able to stop loading all my tabs on startup, which one cannot do yet.
I know there is a history tab in the speed dial, i was asking for a full in depth history browser like we had in Opera, not this simplified one like in Chrome.
About the fonts, I think we used to be able to control which fonts would display AND which would not. Also, we could control the fonts per webpage. Currently if I have say, Helvetica installed on Windows, some websites pick that up and display it by default regardless of the font settings in Vivaldi. That is what I want to fix, so I don't have to uninstall specific fonts just to stop the webpage from displaying them automatically.
Thanks for the tip about image panning, still not as good as simple left click panning but it works for now.
I would like to request another feature : Ability to import Search Engines from Opera 12.x. IE search engines can currently be imported but not from Opera, why?

Hi all. Loving Vivaldi. Ill admit to not having read the seventy other pages, but the two features from Opera 12 that I'd love to see in Vivaldi is the 'copy to note' (which is there already and 'insert note' (which doesnt appear to be there) But I am using the Linked Notes extension…But the other is the right click context menu of a downloaded file, Id like to have the ADVANCED menu like Opera 12...Included is the screenshot...Thank you

The post I wrote here won't appear it seems. I would like the ADVANCED context menu when right-clicking a downloaded file like it was in Opera…Whoops there it is.

Hi guys,
First of all thanks for pursuing the previous efforts of Opera, back when it was still great and not trying to get "lighter" like other browsers instead of being powerful and customized.
Here's what I suggest :
[ol]- Customize the default zoom for the content of the pages. Right now it always open at 100% but I need 120% since I have a 23" screen and I'm pretty far from it. The letters in the pages just are to small
- Moving tabs to another page by clicking, holding, and releasing it out of the browser
- And an old feature in old Opera, to display the tabs as a mosaïc, by choosing it when right-clicking in a tab. It saves spaces contrarily to using several different pages close to each other.
[/ol]
EDIT : Other features (no need to create another post)
[ol]
- Being able to not load automatically videos from websites.
- In the Speed dial feature, being able to choose how many columns we want, even if it has to diminish the size of the tabs
[/ol]

Hello everyone! First time start Vivaldi, it looks pretty but some things work just not as expected.
1. I really hope developers will implement autoscrolling feature soon. I really don't like to scroll long texts manually.
2. I'm using Linux (Ubuntu and OpenSUSE), and really enjoy how it handles window control buttons so I can click on mouse wheel on expand button and window will expands vertically. But buttons in Vivaldi works different, so I just loose this functionality.
3. Another thing which I hope to see in Vivaldi is spell-checking
I'm not so good in English so I hope everyone understand what I talking about (without spell-check)…
Thank you very much for your work -

Hello all,
When Opera created it’s blink engine, it was not possible to upgrade from Opera 12 without loosing passwords and Search engines.
I thought that one day I would be able to use Opera Link with blink Opera and perform data transfer. I was wrong, Opera Link will be shut down in three weeks.As usual with the new Opera management, their migration tool to Opera Sync only transfer bookmarks, the remaining will be lost.
Still today, not being able to transfer my browser data is the major thing that prevent me to to go on the new Google Drive.Unlike browser files where you don’t have the source code necessary to read the .dat files, the Opera Link ᴀᴘɪ is public
So their is a few day remaining to provide a unique way for Presto Users like me to really upgrade to an another browser. Moreover, the browser that aim at re‑implementing features of classic Opera like tab Preview.
Their should be no risk of legal risk unfair competition since Opera choose to not allow this. You’ll simply providing something that Opera users want and Opera Software refuse to produce.
Hope you’ll read this soon enough.

Hi, I'm a new user of Vivaldi. Have been using it for a few weeks now, and I already know this will be my go-to browser. I though I would list the things that are the main drawbacks/missing features at the moment. I'm sure many of them have been mentioned several times before, and I apologize on advance for that. If I'm lucky some of my issues are not really issues at all, or might have been solved without me knowing.
I currently have the 1.0.334.3 32bit version.
[ol]
- Setting default zoom level - it always reverts back to 100 %
- Pocket extension not working
- Open link in tab next to active one
- Autocomplete suggesting specific link or bookmark instead of main website (for instance when writing "yout" autocomplete will suggest the address of a certain youtube video instead of the main site "youtube.com"
- Not able to open new or toggle open tabs when a page is loading (it waits until the active page has loaded before it does anything else).
- Snap off a tab to open in new window by dragging it.
- Re-arrange extension placement by dragging the icons right or left.
- Mini-vew of download progress without having to open download pane
- Some control over what happens when you close a tab - move to next, previous or last open for instance
[/ol]
Keep up the good work!

Hi!
There is a very useful behavior in the good old Opera. When you add a bookmark from the side panel auto-completion of URL and title occurs.
But when you do the same in Vivaldi with "New Bookmark" button from the side panel auto-completion doesn't happen. I know that there is auto-completion in Vivaldi for "Add Bookmark" button that is near the address bar, but in this case you need to specify the folder for the new bookmark. It's alright when you have few bookmark folders, but when you have a large tree of folders it's not an option. And I believe that it's better to use a single tree both for navigation and editing.
Please, add auto-completion of title and URL for the "New Bookmark" button on the side panel.
Thanks!

Hello,
is it possible to use keyboard shortcut that would take me directly to Bookmark search window? Without using my mouse at all.

Hello,

Possible, but far from easy.
New Tab (Ctrl T) to open speed dial, then press Tab multiple times until you reach the Bookmarks. Press enter to open the bookmarks manager, then press Tab multiple times until you reach the search panel. Something like Auto HotKey might make it possible with one key stroke, but I am not familiar with that.

I'd like to see a JavaScript and image blacklist. Sites on the list would be prevented from executing scripts and/or loading images. The rationale is that some sites have terrible load times with scripts and/or images on and an almost instantaneous load with them turned off. Salon and politico are two examples.

Availability for smartphones.

Hi Pesala, thanks for your tip, about bookmark search,
after I have done some exploring I found a simple solution that works greatly for me: press F2 and type, simple as that. It's not the same thing, but it's good enough.

Highlight a word or words - right-click, select Search with and choose one of any number or user-installed search engines. This is a very useful feature in Opera and will go a long way towards making Vivaldi my primary browser.
Thank you
