Feature requests for 1.5
-
fix selinux denial bug [https://vivaldi.net/en-US/forum/extensions/14910-selinux-denial-warning].
i would like to request modifications to defaults, as long as the login feature is in development:
-most browsers have a (alt+d) shortcut to focus URL, such as firefox, chrome, and qupzilla.
-firefox has abbreviated options to add adblocker, qupzilla has native adblocker
-based on popularity of https everywhere and privacy badger, i request easy-enable options for all eff extensions.don't worry, i didn't request all my defaults. just common ones. it would help my petty human brain get used to browserspace. after all, we all need to do that. at least until the singularity anyway…

Request: In the bookmark panel, the ability to switch between full view (what Vivaldi has now) and split view (as in Opera 12). The toggle control to switch views would be a button above the title bar and below the search window where the other buttons are.
-
I basically said this in the 1.4 release blog:
"- Tab animations.
- Vivaldi's own font rendering.
- Vivaldi's own smooth scrolling.
- Improved search bar options. I want my search text to be erased from the search bar immediately after entering the search, so I don't have to leave it there and delete it myself. I also want the option to open searches in the search bar in a new tab.
- Vertical list tab cycler. I want one that looks and functions exactly like O12's did. I want my custom shortcuts that cycles through tabs to trigger the tab cycler, and if it's vertical, it'll be an easy list to navigate. It just makes sense.
- History panel/History page. It'll help make Vivaldi more complete, and I think it's about time to have one.
- A setting that will make all rounded corners absolute. I want 4px to make all corners in the browser 4px.
- Ability to clear cache on exit.
- Performance/CPU/RAM improvements."
Quite a bit of likes on this. I think it would be great to have, especially the tab cycler feature. The problem with the current one is not just that it's horizontal and not vertical, but that it doesn't appear when I use my custom shortcuts to cycle through tabs(alt + A & alt + S to go left and right through tabs). In O12, this was no problem, so it'd be great to see this interesting feature in 1.5.
Other than that, please fix the mouse cursor that stays on the screen in fullscreen videos, as this is one of my very few annoyances with Vivaldi.
On the Linux version, pressing alt triggers the menu like it does on Windows, but pressing alt again doesn't make it disappear, where it does on Windows. It's a little more annoying using Vivaldi on Linux than on Windows for this reason. Also, in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, the menus, notifications, and context menus for Vivaldi are ugly looking compared to how they look in Linux Mint 18 or Windows. Don't know if this is within your control or not, but thought I'd mention it.
Also, one thing you can fix as well is the "hibernate tab/tab stack" options that appear in every tab. This is great, but for tabs and tab stacks that are already hibernated, these options don't need to appear. I know this feature was already perfected before 1.3, but since the fix for 1.3, it's been showing up for every tab and tab stack regardless of whether or not it's already hibernated. It doesn't bother me, as I already know which of my tabs are hibernated and not, and I'll take this over the earlier bug in which it didn't appear at all regardless, but if this could be perfected again, that would be great.
Vivaldi is slowly getting to be a near-perfect browser. Chromium 53 helped quite a bit with the bloat, but it still needs a lot of work. Once you guys work on the RAM/CPU/Disk usage, possibly strip some unneeded parts of Chromium you're not using, and overall add polish to the features like you had with O12, and further polishing of UI, man, this'll be a very solid browser!

Open link in new tab on current stack
If i open multiple tabs from links on a single page, it could be much simpler if they all stayed grouped
-
Open link in new tab on current stack
Already available. Settings, Tabs, Tab-stacking, Open Tabs in Current Tab Stack.

1. Proxy settings only for Vivaldi like a Firefox

Variant layout support:
Now that I have a system that again has both portrait and landscape displays configured, I would find it very handy to have the ability to quickly or automatically switch layouts – when in landscape mode, I prefer having my sidebar open on the left, and my tab bar open on the right. When in portrait mode, I would prefer to have the tab bar on top, and the sidebar not open.
I think it'd be super spiffy if (probably only when maximized) the layout could automatically shift that for me, and only for the window(s) that (is/are) maximized on that display.
Alternatively, if that's quite difficult to implement, at least having a menu option on the tab bar right click, to allow it to change to the top/bottom/left/right for that specific window, without saving the preference for all windows would be nice in the meantime.

I'm personally waiting for the ability to configure chorded (FlipForward/FlipBack) mouse buttons. That is the only thing stopping me from switching to Vivaldi as my primary browser. Hope it comes later in 1.5!

Here I throw few my ideas:
[ol]- 2-column/bar tabs, one for groups, second for tabs from selected group.
- Side panel customization: switch thickness, tabs panel as in Opera 12 (for hiding), extensions working in www panels, etc.
- Option to overlap page when side panel is opened, rather than resize.
- Adress bar options: autofill up to '/' (just like in Firefox), click behavior (select all, put carriage in indicated place etc.).
- Carriage highlight when hovering over text to help putting it in right place.
- Different deafult folders for downloading different file types (or even different websites).
- Keyboard+mouse shortcuts.
- RSS (really liked it, couldn't find good one since O12).
- Customizable context menu.
- Kill those annoying black blinking ractangles.
- Truly portable Vivaldi: Vialadi on USB pendrive that can be used both on Windows and Linux (or at least instructions how to do it).

Hi, i've been firefox user for a long time, and i'm beginning to switch to vivaldi. However there are a few things I'd love to see in vivaldi. Can you please add the following options:
-
Option to change colour of right-click menu and Vivaldi-button menu (and other) backgrounds and fonts. Maybe it would be good if they were taken from current theme? It's really annoying when i'm using dark theme and i see white menu.
-
Tor-enabled private browsing mode
-
configurable buttons, like the one from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-messenger-panel/ - I'd love to have abitity to add such buttons and configure them myself, to show fb messanger, deezer/spotify, some forum maybe. As the expandable window isn't a big one, maybe it should have option allowing use mobile versions of sites. OR add option to switch between mobile and full versions of sites in current version of web panels. (now it's mobile only, and many sites, like messanger.com or deezer.com show only google play link)

1. Multiple profiles and an in browser manager (like Chrome)
2. Contextual Identity/Containers something like this Firefox project -
It has already been requested earlier: Bookmark tagging.
It is simply a must have for people, who care about their bookmarks and actually want to find a bookmark in their 3000 bookmarks …It also enables things like an in-built "read later" feature. Simply make a tag "read later" and whenever you're ready to get one "read later" item done, you search for that tag in the bookmarks, for example in the side bar. Maybe one has more tags, like "computer science", "book", "tutorial" accompanying the "read later" tagged bookmark, so that one can focus on the "read laters" of that one topic.
When I add a bookmark in Vivaldi, I keep thinking: "I hope I'll never have to find it again in all those bookmarks. I will never remember the wording of the title to search for it! Well, just for emergencies add it to the bookmarks and hope for the best."
While in Firefox, I'd tag away happily, knowing that with my personal tagging system, I'll always find all of my bookmarks.
We really need tagging. Please add it asap.

It would be pointless spending a lot of time on this, but the Help file could use an update for 1.5 Final. I tried a few searches that found no help topics:
[ol]
- Themes
- Incognito, Private
- Cache
- Schedule
- Stacking (Group is found)
[/ol]

@brsuperboy9:
Flash: I dont know why but flash doesnt work in vivaldi
Install the PPAPI Flash Player for Opera and Chrome.
-
It would be super cool if user can set up following:
1. start typing in address bar and browser opens result in new tab
2. find text on page when user just starts typingI was looking for these two features in settings but did not find. If they exist, pls point them out.
Minimize button often does not work (Mac, previously 1.3 and now 1.4)
-
Would be nice if the extensions worked on the webpanels too (adblocker, custom CSS/JS extensions, etc.).

I would like to request a feature that I have not seen on a web browser since Opera 12, but that I feel is sorely missing. In fact, I still keep a copy of Opera 12 which I use frequently for this one feature: block content.
I'm not talking about blocking popups, I'm talking about blocking anything on a page that I don't want to see. You would just right click on a page, select, "Block Content" then click on any page elements that you don't like. You could also type URL patterns. Thus, I had blocked ads.facebook.com/, doubleclick.net/, etc. But more importantly, if I happen to be reading a news article and there is a moving ad that distracted me from reading the text, I could just right click, block, and go about my merry way. I would be wonderfully pleased to see this feature come to Vivaldi.
Respectfully,
Rob D

Is that the same as using the mouse wheel's Tilt to go back/forward? That's how I have it set up on Ubuntu using xdotools. For Windows, AutoHotKey can do that pretty easily, and it works on Explorer windows too. Mac required Logitech software, but it works.

Yes, and it should be accessible via configurable keyboard shortcuts.
