I do not think may people need a Mail client, Calendar and Feeds reader in a browser.
Mail client, Calendar and Feed Reader were part of the concept of Vivaldi before it was ever started. A substantial portion of users are here only because this integration is offered. Such integration will not be abandoned, any more than any other feature needed by only a minority of users will be abandoned. Vivaldi is about choice, rather than about a reduction to the "most common" or "most popular" or "lowest common denominator" (as other browsers) features.

I love vivaldi very much , I use it on all my devices and it really is the best browser on chromium, although not without flaws. But the most important thing that annoys me is that I can not view the history of visits even for the past day, and sometimes it is really necessary.
Please convey this information to the developers, I really would not like to leave with vivaldi. But from the browser, quality data synchronization is important to me.Thanks for your work!

I went back to Vivaldi (from Edge) after a year because I was missing a lot of features. Of course, I had forgotten that the history sync never worked satisfactorily in Vivaldi.
Dear team, you have the best browser, but without this feature (complete history sync) it is not up to date in 2022. We all switch back and forth between our devices several times a day. I'm forced to go back to Edge now because MS got that right.

I agree that Vivaldi is about choice. However, if Mail client, Calendar and Feed Reader are such killer features all other browsers would have them! But they do not.
I am sure developers have a statistics of what users are using and are enhancing the features that are more popular.
This thread shows that sync is not "any other feature needed by only a minority".
See @den4ik11

I hope we do not see Vivaldi go to bloatware path.

I checked vivaldi://sync-internals → Data
Sync does not save History yet. -

This was the argument that Opera used when they released Opera15 without Bookmarks. "Statistics said" that hardly anyone used them. It took months of sustained screaming from (a minority of) users to get them reinstated.
What's useless to you is a killer feature for me. Vivaldi came on the scene as "A browser for our friends." These "friends" are those who were cast adrift at sea when Opera abandoned features (such as built-in mail and feeds). They are not a least-common-denominator majority of web users who don't know and don't want to know what is going on with their browser or what is possible with a browser. For this reason, Vivaldi will only ever be popular among a set of users who want more than to push a button and see the internet, unaware of the distinction between their desktop and remote data sources.
As to "bloatware," Work goes on continuously to make Vivaldi more economical in its resource usage - faster, and lighter.

I can't agree more. I'm really eager to ditch chrome and finally be able to use Vivaldi full time. But the lack of full history sync between devices prevent me to do so.
I keep coming back but every time I search for something I have seen one or 2 days before on an another device I keep moving away. -
Maybe someone can respond to this.
On brave forum,they said it is a chromium limitation when using an encrypted password instead of an account. In this case you can't sync full history with chromium based browser.The only 4 browsers doing full history sync are Firefox, edge, chrome and Safari. 2 of them aren't chromium based. And the other 2 are using an account instead of an encrypted password.
-
@rom08 The point of the request is to use vivaldi sync for the whole history, so an account.
But we aren't there yet, becuse as you said may be impossible without doing patches to chromium core (as Edge did). -
I cannot stress enough how vital this feature is.
Hell, consider it an accessibility feature. My memory is not good enough to recall if that page I remember visiting was on desktop or mobile, I only know I visited it in the recent past. Searching History and finding zero results makes me feel absolutely insane. And if I'm on mobile with no access to my desktop, I'm effectively cut off from the wealth of pages I've browsed on desktop. For someone with a patchy memory, this can have a real impact. It's embarrassing to be out and about, assure someone I can grab a link or information for them quickly... and not be able to.
It's unreasonable to expect people to manually bookmark every mildly useful page on the off-chance it will be relevant later. How would I even organize an archive like that? No. I want my browser to log what I've looked at and let me search the History as needed. If I'm syncing content anyway why is this so different?
I'm coming from Chrome, where recent History syncs, and extended History is accessible online. This is a reasonable way of managing the huge amounts of data accrued over time.

This is reasonable for a company with unlimited funds and acres and acres of cloud servers.
Vivaldi's servers, on the other hand, fit into a single room.
What's easy for you is not always possible for a small company with finite resources and zero outside funding.

Breathing and feeding are vital, you're being overdramatic over a software feature that's not that simple to implement, and more importantly, cheap to realize.
-
Perhaps an extension that watches your history and saves it to myactivity.google.com???
-
I've just checked out Vivaldi and it is a great browser with a lot of customization and features but...for god's sake, why is it missing this important feature
-
Without fully sync history is a big flaw of this perfect browser.
I keep switching between Firefox and Vivaldi for work and entertaintment.
Please upgrade the history sync or recommend me a 3rd tool/add on/extension for fully sync history for Vivaldi -

Plaese work on sync between android and windows.
I'm still waiting.
This topic is one of the most requested by users. (Vote)
If this request is ignored, then what is the reason for this sub-forum? (Desktop Feature Requests)
2022 is coming but . . . -
"Sync in" is not working properly in mobile and desktop with same login id"
i can't see my mobile net surfing history on my desktop "in Vivaldi browser" and desktop net surfing history i can't see on my mobile "in Vivaldi browser"This is very annoying for me , i have successfully tried multiple times login and logout properly and enter encrypted key. But all of that's not working.

@Ayespy I love how you've made absolutely 0 contributions to this thread except for making excuses for this feature to not be standard in almost every comment of yours. Almost every comment of yours is a variant of "but resources, but only x people, but smol browser UwU"
Carry on, I guess.
