@LongLife - but it can be retrieved from the trash, no?

Ability to place custom page in Speed Dial folder
Maybe a stupid idea but I think it could be pretty cool.
To understand better what I mean by custom page see this subreddit.
So basically like one webpage with the bookmarks/quick links and you can even add something like clock, temperature, RSS feed widget or really anything that you want. So basically your very own customized start page.
But I do also like Speed Dial so that is why I thought it would be great to have ability to place your start page in one of those Speed Dial folders.
Also we could also have a place to share our start pages like they do in the subreddit that I mentioned.What do you think of that ?

Bring back the Links window! It was a simple yet powerful feature in Opera 12. Pressing Ctrl-Shift-L brings up a new tab with a list of all links of the site it was invoked from. Really usefull to mass copy a lot of links, for example from an ftp server.
-
Oh, it doesn't even go to trash, it actually just disappears from the speed dial and it stays in bookmarks until you delete it.
Thanks, I didn't even know that. -
Support for MIME types
A great feature in old Opera is the ability to choose what to do with different file types:–
-
@Pesala The way the Opera 12 file type dialog behaves is like this:
-
The "Use plug-in" drop-down decides what plug-in is used when embedding with <object>/<embed>. The setting for the drop-down is active and honored even when the "Use plug-in" radio button isn't selected. You just can't change the drop-down unless "Use plug-in" is selected.
-
What happens when you navigate to a URL with that type/extension directly (as in, not embedded with <object>/<embed> and clicking on a link or the URL entered in the address field) depends on what radio button is selected, even if it's the "Use plug-in" radio button. If "Use plug-in" is selected, Opera would load a page that wraps the direct link in an <object>/<embed> to embed it with the plug-in/handler right in the browser.
All that would still be great for Vivaldi, and I really want it. However, if it's implemented, I'd like the dialog to be clearer than Opera 12's as few users really understood the "Use plug-in" option's dual functionality. Simple UI modifications really. Basically, make the drop-down active all the time for one. For two, put "Plug-in used for embedding" above the drop-down. For three, change the "Use plug-in" radio button label to "Embed with plug-in". Something like that. Just as long as it's clearer than Opera 12.

@gaelle Are we supposed to reiterate our requests from the previous feature request thread (if they didn't get implemented obviously)?
-
@burnout426 - the way to keep them out front and in view is to go ahead and post them again if you wish.
-
@Pesala Supporting an External Feed Reader would be great too just in case you don't want to use the built-in one.

Hello.
Can you make option to put opened tabs next to address bar like in IE11? I asked about it on twitter.
Thanks to that we will delete one bar and have more space for sites content.
So there will be only:
buttons (vivaldi/back/forward/refresh/main site), ADRESS BAR, OPENED TABS, min/max/close buttons
Favourite sites bar.You can ckeck my visualisation in attachment.
And I'm still waiting for e-mail client builded to this web browser.! -
I'd like to propose to change the tab menu entry for 'Clone Tab' to 'Duplicate Tab' - more similar to Chrome (where I guess lots of people are coming from), but most importantly, vastly different to 'Close Tab' - a very different operation.
On opening the menu, I'm scanning for the word 'Duplicate', but can't find it. Then I see 'Close Tab' and remember it's 'Clone Tab', and then dither and squint to see if I've got the right one.
-
Search bar for tabs when tabs are in vertical mode(when the tab bar is positioned left or right on the window) like it was in old Opera or like it is in modern extensions, e.g. Vertical Tabs. Of course F2 can be used to search through the tabs, but it is much more comfortable to have a dedicated search bar somewhere above the tab column, like on the screenshot below.
-
Ability to remember to open specific file types by specific applications. This is especially useful to pass data to other applications when you want to skip manual opening of the file, for example when you are adding new downloads to your torrent client(via torrent files) or when you want all your pdf files to be opened in external viewer.
Afaik there is such a feature in Chrome and it definitely was in the old Opera. -
Thumbnail view for bookmarks, like it is made in current Opera.
In a lot of cases it is easier to navigate and find the necessary bookmark using visual representation than just text.
-
@smallboobslover people's screen resolutions get bigger and bigger, so why not. I support this.
-
@Stardust
In terms of ergonomics this is a very bad idea, because when you really have a lot of opened tabs scrolling them back and forth consumes a vast amount of time. Far more efficient is to use vertical tabs with active text search or compressed but easily distinguishable horizontal tabs with pop up thumbnails as they are now. -
Often I got as much as 50-70 tabs open at once and the tabs becomes very small. If I was able to set a minimum size for tabs and instead was allowed to scroll to those tabs not visible on the screen, it would be great. Firefox got something like that.
-
I agree, that is the main reason I haven't made a full switch from Opera to Vivaldi.
Opera indisputably has the best bookmark management and preview.
Also the fact that you can choose the thumbnail for the bookmark and even zoom the screencap of the page makes it that more convenient and easier to use. -
Web Panel Notifications
There is already notifications for tabs, so why not for web panels.
I would love to have something like this, specially for Twitter. -
@AltCode - Notification is enabled for web panels. However, due to the fact that panels are recognized as "mobile" format by servers, the same type of notification that is used for tabs, is not sent by most websites.
