@elmeunick9 Another good point: Could also take JPG pictures of webpages and that customizable as well by selection and format.

No most used tracking: This, which should of course be an optional feature, is a feature that I find quite useful. You should be able to have you most visited web sites automatically appear as speed dials (of course with the ability to remove them). Otherwise you have to manually bookmark them (when you notice yourself visiting a web often) and unbookmark them (when you notice yourself not visiting a web often anymore), which is a chore.
Well, it’s not the same thing, but make sure you have the address bar set to suggest frequently visited sites.
Here is an untested workaround:
Set chrome://new-tab-page as the new tab page.
In chrome://settings/search select DuckDuckGo. -

Bookmark bar in navbar
Try using VivaldiHooks bookmarks button or Vivaldi auto hide bookmarks bar CSS and see if they meet your needs.

Default ads blocker is buggy
It may get better if you add additional lists in settings > privacy > manage sources.

It is not open source
Yes, it should be open source.

Nope, I don't like it. I remember it was the only option in Firefox several years ago...
Otherwise you have to manually bookmark them
Yes! Perfect!

That is why I said it should be an optional feature and don't be like Firefox. It is not one of the things I care the most anyway, so it would be fine even if it doesn't have preference, though it seems kind of trivial to implement anyway.

@elmeunick9 I use a CSS mod to autohide the bookmark bar until it is needed.

Looks like a good option. I still think having them visible all the time (without sacrificing space) is better, but autohide is certainly the next best thing to do. Should also apply for the main panel (instead of having to hit F4 every time). It would be cool if there was an option to do so by default, I think it's already in the feature request section of the forum.

Yes, but this won't get rid of the plot holes.

Sure
Also, welcome to the V-Forum -

Won’t it? Vivaldi recently added the element blocker similar to uBlock, if you find the right list I think you could get rid of empty parts in webpages. Unless you mean empty parts in videos where the ads used to be (though the right list might also get rid of that, depending on how the ads are inserted).

3.8 update adds support for cookie banner blocking lists.
But you could use it to block any element - it just doesn’t have a convenient point and click UI like uBlock. -

I prefer my trusty uBO
