(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
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.

- 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

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!

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.
[/ul]
seriously need this (local proxy settings), as i'm living in Iran, I use proxy a lot, I don't want to change proxy for whole internet, this is the main reason i'm using firefox time to time.

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

Hello,
is it possible to use keyboard shortcut that would take me directly to Bookmark search window? Without using my mouse at all.
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 -
Hi guys/girls!
Vivaldi is awesome, thanks for your efforts. Would you please consider making it even more awesome and add a built-in RSS reader. Ty. -

I guess that will come when the email client is read.

It is starting to look good. Only thing I am missing is;
- Open tab in a new window: Nice to have the option to split the tab into a new window so that I can move it to another monitor.
- Open tab next to active
- Ability to right click on extensions to manage them. So that you don't need to go via the file menu.
Keep up the good work!

Unicode for URLs in the address bar would be nice.
The problem described: http://xahlee.info/js/url_encoding_unicode.html -
REQUEST - TWO SIMPLE MOUSE COMMANDS
Both of these are useful and totally natural for me, and are from the older versions of Opera.
1/ Click-and-hold to open the link in a new, background tab.
This is in addition to the two current methods: middle click, and CTRL+left click.
I can't usually middle click my mouse without it sending a scroll message as well, which renders the middle click method incredibly awkward.2/ CTRL + ROLL to zoom in and out.
By that I mean hold down the CTRL key, and then roll the mouse wheel.
I justify this request by saying that CTRL + ROLL is a standard zoom command in almost all Windows programs that support zoom (don't know about other platforms).Thanks for considering these!

REQUEST - NEW METHOD OF MAKING SPEED DIAL FOLDERS
1/ Please let me create Speed Dial folders automatically by dragging one shortcut over another.
2/ Then let me move further shortcuts into the folders simply by dragging them over the folder.I would find this much quicker, more convenient and more intuitive than the current method, which feels decidedly clunky.
Thank you.

**REQUEST - QUICK ACCESS TO SPEED DIAL
Please add a Speed Dial icon next to the Home icon so on any open tab I can go instantly to Speed Dial.**
I find I need to go to Speed Dial just as often as I need to go to the Home page, if not more.
Thanks
