(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Please allow "sticky" cookies. (copied from Security and Privacy after I just found this thread)
I just went through and deleted a bunch of cookies. It's tedious.
I almost never do this because it takes so long to do. There must be an easier way!
I want to keep some cookies which actually do something useful, so I don't want to delete them all.
It would be really cool if I could mark the cookies I want saved (in some persistent way) so I could tell Vivaldi to delete everything except the "good" ones.
As a workaround, it would also be good (but not as good) to be able to store a file of just the good cookies (after having manually deleted everything else) and to use that later to overwrite the current cookies. There's a cookie manager add-on for Firefox that has this functionality.
This is not nearly as good as marking cookies would be because you have to go through everything from scratch if the set of cookies you want to save changes. It would also restore the "good" cookies with old saved contents, not what they currently have in them.
This would be even better if there was an option to do it automatically once a day (maybe the first time Vivaldi is opened in a day). (Doing it every time the browser is opened would probably be too often.)

Please add Print Selection option to Vivaldi's print dialog (copied from All Platforms after I just found this thread)
I print a lot of articles from the web. These are almost always surrounded by tons of clutter. Besides being annoying, this can cause content to be truncated on the right and can add many pages of garbage after the end of the article.
Firefox uses the native print dialog which has a Print Selection option to handle this (but it also messes up a lot of pages that Vivaldi gets right.)
In Vivaldi, I can also select the native print dialog to get this option, but it would be nice if it was available in Vivaldi's print dialog so I don't have to retrain my muscle memory (and my AutoKey printing macro on Linux) to also press the shift key.

@Livsnyter:
What I miss:
(…)- Ad block, the one in Opera 12.17 almost never get detected from sites that prevent you from reading their stuff if you have a ad blocker installed
- Official portable version, no data stored on local machine. One of the reasons I still stuck with Opera 12.17
(...)
Really looking forward for:
- E-mail client
- Synchronizing
Those are some of the features I miss from the "good old" Opera 12, especially the "portability" in the means of easy browser data backup/restore. Right now I have both the "new" Opera and Vivaldi installed as a standalone apps but their "portability" is close to 0 (zero).
Recently I have moved onto a new machine and I have lost all of my stored passwords, even though I have copied all of the browsers folders contents. Now I know that this is due to the way the
RetardiumChromium encrypts the passwords, so that they become useless once you move them onto another computer.
I would really appreciate a feature that would allow users to move their browsers across different machines [AKA portable version] or at least backup their data (including passwords!) and restore it somewhere else [AKA profile syncing].
Keep up the good work!

When I open tabs, I want to each tab to be open right after current tab, not somewhere far away. I usually opens many tabs and read them, but they are opening too far from current tab and getting even farther when I open many links from the same page, can you have settings to have each tab to be open right after current tab.
Have you checked settings? This feature is already implemented.
Another suggestions:
- Option to export browser settings.
- Possibility to see image properties (size, dimensions, etc.). Currently, the only way to check image size is to save it first.
- Ability to move image with the mouse cursor when it doesn't fit within the window. Scrolling isn't too much comfortable.
- Mouse gestures sensitivity. In Opera 12, at close tab gesture, just 5 pixels to the right was enough to close the tab, which made navigation more comfortable. In Vivaldi threshold is higher, so it often happens to me that the new tab is opened instead of closure. Please change it or add an option to set sensitivity.
- Possibility to remove the home button from toolbar.

This should be an easy fix: Please add "Contact Us" &/or "Report a Bug" link
to "Help" [from the Menu Bar or icon] & to the bottom of the Welcome page. Thanks! -

Can we please get the "close tabs to the right" function. Its so tiresome to close dozens of tabs when I do not want to close two or more tabs but the other dozens of tabs I don't need anymore. Chrome, Opera Next and Firefox have this feature and its odd that Vivialdi does not.

Open bundle.js in a text editor, replace
,e.get("active")||(t.stopPropagation(),g.openPage(e))
with
;if(e.get("active")){this.switchBackBySetting(e);}else{t.stopPropagation();g.openPage(e);}That's great! With Snapshot 1.0.425.3 you have to replace
selectTab:function(e,t){A.clearTooltip(),e.get("active")?g.clearSelection():(t.stopPropagation(),g.openPage(e))},
with
selectTab:function(e,t){A.clearTooltip(),e.get("active")?this.switchBackBySetting(e):(t.stopPropagation(),g.openPage(e))},Thanks a lot!

Would be nice to have thumbs also for background tabs (like Opera could do 10 years ago):

Would also be nice to have the possibility to automatically reload web pages and web panels at certain intervals - like Opera could do 10 years ago

If the background tab has ever been viewed, it will have a thumbnail. Rarely, if it's not viewed again in several re-starts it will lose its thumbnail. But yes, if you open background tabs right now, they won't get thumbnails until they are viewed.
Right now I have eight background tabs, none of which I have looked at in the last week while the browser has been shut down and started repeatedly, and of these, two do not have thumbs.
It would be nice if there were a really efficient way to create thumbs without loading the page but ATM, to make a thumb vivaldi must load the page and take a screengrab of it. And part of the concept of efficiency for Vivaldi just now is NOT to load background tabs, thus economizing on RAM and processor cycles.

Sure. But this could be done 10 years ago … om much slower machines, with much less RAM ... without any problem ... :whistle:

Not exactly. Opera then was not fighting multi-process architecture.

Please consider adding the ability to delete or remove newly submitted posts via the "Edit" options. An example of where this would be desirable is an earlier post of mine that got altered during a freezeup, no. 50119 [if the staff doesn't remove it]. Thanks for the opportunity to submit requests.

Opera has nice feature - did not remember entering data into forms, but has feature with add only my own texts and this text offering to enter in to text field in form.
I don't want remembering every text that I write to every form. Vivaldi remeber a lot of, for other forms, unnecessary text. And If I want delete only these text I cannot anyway other than delete all remembered text.
So, if Vivaldi remember everything, give us feature when I click on text field, Vivaldi offer remembered text and if I place mouse cursor on some these text and press Delete, this specific remembered text will be deleted, other text still stay remembered.
(Or add Opera 12 forms data feature

However you should be able to decide if you want to have thumbnail of backgrounded tabs loaded at start of this tabs or not.

Yes, then you could delete your post above, which is in the wrong place, and afterwards I could delete my reply.

Please add a way to delete a saved username on the Facebook username textbox. All the other browsers have this. I'm using the latest Windows 32-bit snapshot. Thanks.

Please, would love you provide a built-in option to >do not download images, only exception list<. Chrome/Chromium has it already built-in, and i am using this for surfing via tethering hotspot mobile for >> notebook. Very, very useful to lower the bandwidth usage.
We all know, mobile surfing is growing, this includes more hotspots for notebooks :- )
Example from Chromium: (Settings > Advanced > Content Settings > Images:
Did you try clicking on the little "picture of a mountain" icon on the status bar? That does what you want, as far as I can tell…

I think there should be some sort of visual cue when a download starts, usually I have to double check if it started by opening the tab. Also the icon for 'bookmarks' looks too similar to the other ones imo, it's not obvious. My 2 cents.
