(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
I'd like to be able to override the title bar color for some pages. For example, for reddit it displays a gray color with a bit of red, but I'd like it to be light blue. I'd also like the option to automatically switch to a tab opened with "Open in new tab".
-
I want something others users have already asked: a reader mode, or reading mode. But I want one as flexible as the Firefox and the Readability add-on ones combined. That is, one that lets you choose between at least two fonts, one serif and other sans-serif; two modes, a day or light one (with white background and black font) and a night or dark one (black background and white font); and adjust font size and line length (or text column width). Fortunately, the Readability add-on for Chrome works with Vivaldi, but it would be nice to have this functionality native in the browser.
I also wold like to see a native ad-block functionality, although, again, Adblock Plus extension works here.

@maverick74:
Now, please clarify me: Is Vivaldi 100% opensource??? (this IS very important as well!!! GPL, Linux compatibility and privacy respect are the most important points - i could not find info beside the vivaldi code - but no mention to licence)
-
@Magnanimus:
Bookmarks panel should remember its last used position. Would be very helpful if the list of so many bookmarks just keeps its last used position rather than resetting itself.
It already does that for me on Vivaldi 1.2.479.8 (Developer Build) (32-bit) for Windows. Which version are you using?
-
@Magnanimus:
Great. I'm with the latest stable (1.1.453.59) release. I'll wait for 1.2 then.
No need to wait, just download it.
-
@Magnanimus:
Yup, I know I can, just not sure I should. I suspect it would be kind of buggy cause it's not really finished product still in development.
Off-topic: Isn't there a setting on this forum to get a notification if someone quotes me?
Stable and dev are mostly kind of arbitrary definitions, in Vivaldi's case just like in Opera's one, the public snapshots are safe enough to be used daily. And if you face some regression which is a dealbreaker for you, you can just go back to the previois snapshot or to the stable version.
You can have also more than one version installed side by side. Either with a shared profile or with independents ones.
As for the forum engine, that feature has never worked reliably and consistently. I hate this forum engine that, thanks God, will be replaced soon.

@MMF22R:
right click on a link, "open in a new BACKGROUND tab" as first option in the menù at the place of "open in a new tab" (not in background.
Or just set up a setting for this … plase.
thx for the excellent work you made guys :lol:Middle click or CTRL+click or gestures
-
- Option to set max connection per server/ max connection global
- Option to set interface/gateway to bind
-
@Magnanimus:
Any suggestions? :huh:
Personally I'm not an hevvy bookmarks user. But I suggest you to use the bugtracker to point out any regression you may see.
-
@MMF22R:
I already know these trick, but i thinked it was more easy just like "opera was "
Those aren't Tricks. Are normal commands.
Middlebutton was once an unique Opera feature, then was cloned in any browser and tabbed program.
CTRL+Click comes from the days when mac users were so poor that they couldn't afford a second mouse button :lol: , then "infected" the other platforms thanks to the multiplatform programs (Opera included).
On the other hand Opera has never opened a tab in background by default, so what "opera was" are you talking about? :huh:
-
Please consider using UserVoice, Trello, or any other similar platform that allows searching and voting for feature requests.
-
It would be great if it would be possible to control the behavior of the history.
Like choosing between "store history", "store history for session" and "don't store history".Also i request the feature to enable/disable Addons in privacy mode. Currently Addons are disabled there, which could be annoying if you use cVIM or other addons which enhances the workflow.
-
Hi, I have been introduced to the Browser a few days ago and regularly use Chrome and Opera.
Two features which I would really appreciate (I know there are extensions for it, but):
- Integrated AdBlock
- Integrated VPN
These are two features which I really like about Opera and I think the feature package already included in Vivaldi is great, but these two things could really make it my overall favorite web browser!
-
dont play gif (or webm) images, while they are offscreen (like in opera 12). or add "replay" button in right-click menu on it.

Hide Vivaldi
Please add a "hide Vivaldi" feature like it has been in Opera 12.
I'd like to use Vivaldi at work and I really do not want my boss to see what I'm doing.
Please make this adjustable in the settings.
In Opera 12, the standard keyboard shortcut was "Ctrl + h" which I changed to "Ctrl + y" ,
the "h" is to far away from the "Ctrl" key
I have always been an Opera fan and still keep using Opera 12.
With Best Regards and Respect

Dear Vivaldi Team,
The Browser is very good, but I suggest a new feature. I'm using two monitor for my computer, and other browsers have that if i grab an opened tab, and i pull it to my other monitor, a window with that URL will appear. In Vivaldi, I cant pull it to the other monitor, I can just change the order of the opened tab in the current window.
I think it would be a very useful feature.
-
On the "Start Page", instead of it just taking a snapshot of the page and posting it as the picture for the page, we should be able to change the picture displayed. That way, I can make it a high quality logo like the default for facebook or twitter instead of a nasty screenshot.

I have hard time calling "high quality" a basic two color tile, but yes the metroish tiles are often requested by people used to the oversimplified trend that started win win 8 and that was embraced by google and apple.
I'm sure they will come as a part of the general SD improvement.
-
Fair enough, and I could care less about the tiles but I like the easy access to my most used bookmarks, like Chrome's bookmark bar that only appears at the new tab page I LOVED but Vivaldi doesn't have that so the tiles are the next best thing and it looks ugly with the screenshot of the home page.

You mean like Google Chrome's Incognito Mode?
