"Back to pinned URL" feature on pinned tabs

@Pesala said in "Back to pinned URL" feature on pinned tabs:
No. I just use the browser as it is, rather than wishing it was something it is not, Arc, Firefox, Chrome, or Brave.
And that is completely fine. I love Vivaldi and I don't see myself switching to another browser anytime soon. If I would wish Vivaldi to be a different browser, then I would just use a different browser. I still think it is fine to recognize strong features in other products...

@Pesala The internet is being dominated by Javascript and "single-page app" built by them, they use url for "routing" in the app without sending them to the server anymore, they are intentionally designed to be used in a single page, also opening multiple tabs for there complicated js-apps takes a lot of system resources.
Examples: Outlook, Gmail, x.com and so on.

personally I think this is the absolute best feature introduced by Arc.
What is the point of pinning a URL without being able to go back to it? This defeats the entire point of pinning.
I think this feature and half a dozen others from Arc need to be copied into Vivaldi as soon as possible. I see an infinite amount of settings most of which are not in any way material.

In Vivaldi, the point of pinning is to prevent the tab being closed, not to prevent navigation to other links.
Vote for Locking Pinned Tabs if that is the behaviour that you want.

That's bizarre. If you don't want the tab to be closed, don't close the tab.

That's from 2018. Doesn't look like things are moving forward here.
Arc has half a dozen or so true improvements to core browsing and Vivaldi should copy them immediately.

By the same logic, if you don’t want the URL to change in a pinned tab, Shift+Click on the link to open it in a new tab. -

No, but it's called "pinned tab". Otherwise you can just drag a normal tab to the top of the list and have the same effect.

Here's my idea:
Make middle-clicking a tab a per-tab Home button.
Middle-clicking returns the tab to the original URL.I have WhatsApp Web, Google Messages, Google Calendar, Weather, Trello, and Discord pinned tabs. I have a
folder in my toolbar with all of these in order. When a tab wanders to another URL (specific chat, message, forecast, board, etc) and I want to reset, I pull down the folder and click the corresponding link. I wish I could just middle-click to "re-home" the tab.This would work great for all tabs, come to think of it. Like ... you open a YouTube tab and instead of having to click a YouTube bookmarks again, you just middle-click to go back to the front page.

I know how that works, but I don't want to open new tabs. I don't mind the URL of the pinned tab changing. I just want to be able to reset the pinned tab to its "home URL" with a middle-click on the tab.

I just want to be him!
There is no deception in wanting, but there is also no progress.

@barbudo2005 if Vivaldi was open source I might have done it myself.
For the Vivaldi UX team, it's an easy addition to Tabs Settings: "Middle click on tab returns to first page". Since middle click on tab doesn't do anything right now, it may as well default to
.Hmm ... actually ... maybe it could be done via an Extension? I'll look into it in my copious spare time.

For a minimum of self-respect, stop talking nonsense.
There are more than 5000 request and climbing. All considered as you do of VERY EASY addition.
Because the users (more than 3,000,000) would like Vivaldi to accommodate the 3,000,000 different ways to navigate, and that's impossible.
The user must accommodate the tools and features that the browser provides, not the other way around.

I'm another user that would LOVE this feature.
It feels very idiomatically "Vivaldi" to at very least support a setting or add an option to a right-click menu that supports "back to pinned url".
There may be 3 million users, but they don't all have different ways to navigate. The request for more robust pinning support is currently the 25th most upvoted feature - so clearly a lot of those 3 million all want a very specific update to how they navigate.
In prioritization, it usually makes sense to take a thing that is high impact for low effort. In this case, I'd take the fact that it's the 25th most upvoted request as a sign of "high impact".
So if Vicodin is right, and it is low effort, then that's very important information. That could mean this feature is high impact, low effort. Whether it's higher impact or lower effort than the other 25, I trust the Vivaldi team to make that assessment.
But I think this issue at very least warrants a response from the team.
