We appreciate that kind of commitment and respect from your loyal user base (user since Opera 6 days speaking). I was one of the ones complaining about that change on the release post.

Would be amazing if the Simplified View was a button in the menu rather than a notification. I understand that not all webpages can be viewed in Simplified View, but if the button could be greyed out when not available and clickable when available, that'd be awesome.

This is one of my favourite things about Vivaldi (and the team behind it). They really do listen to what the users want!

Thank you!

Thank you, Vivaldi. I appreciate your efforts and accomplishments very much!

It's one of my favorite Vivaldi feature, the respect for the user needs.

the Simplified View

You mean the Reader View?
It is nice but has too much bugs to detect what is important and what not. Mozilla has done a bad job with their algorithm.

As one of those who vocalized disappointment with the removal of the home button, I was so impressed with your quick action in listening to your users and bringing it back. I'm an engineer myself and understand all too well how difficult it is to please your user base. Huge props to Team Vivaldi!

One more try on this feedback: On my Mac, the main Vivaldi window never remembers the size I set it to after I restart it. Other Mac apps remember their window size after restarts.

I complained about this in the forum years ago, and the bug still exists.

I've beem using Vivaldi for at least six years. It's truly an amazingly solid product with so many very useful features. I especially love the new Workspaces, they do everything that I used to use Sessions for but more conveniently. I'm a coder so Workspaces help me keep various areas of work nicely seperated.

I still can't quite figure out the relationship between Windows, Sessions and Workspaces. Is there a doc somewhere that explains this?

Great article! The kind of open and honest communication I know Vivladi for!

I want to take the opportunity to remind you of this Feature Request for a Notes Widget https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/41105
However I totally understand that you don't communicate on things that you are still unsure about. and that's perfectly fine.

Not that I need the feature badly (in the meantime I found the note-tacking app I was looking for and don't think I need note taking in a browser) but I think widgets on Android can bring your little tools like translation or reading list or tasks up to the next level

@doctorg: Vivaldi on mobile doesn't have Reader View. Where it detects a web page with a more desktop oriented layout it asks "Do you want to use Simplified View". This comes from the underlying Google Chromium browser and presents a view that still shows adverts. Reader View on desktop is different and strips out everything apart from the article text and images.

On the start page with the quick links (shortcuts) which is easily synchronized with my phone and tablet let alone the PC, it is too easy on the PC to click the icon top right and find the (-) (or remove control). Could it be incorporated that the deletion isn't sudden death? ie 'Are you sure you want to delete this? Prompt, would be handy. Also Opera has a feature which word wraps the text on web pages on my phone. Can Vivaldi mimic this behaviour as it makes reading articles on a phone so much easier!

One more thing I can't get my head about. In Windows 11 I cannot get from the taskbar a recent jump list of visited web pages to show for Vivaldi. The jump lists work for Chrome and Firefox but nothing works even though I re-installed from the Microsoft Store.
This was after I had already installed via exe file from your website with same results.
I've searched forums etc as to a fix but nothing works!

@SJK2024, Vivaldi's trashbin shows the recent closed tabs

(Above on the right with horizontal tabs or at the bottom right with vertical tabs, deleting the list with B key)
