STOP command should have prioritize over everything else
Basically when user press ESC key or execute the STOP command, Vivaldi should do exactly that immediately. Stop loading, stop javascript, stop doing anything that's it's working on immediately.
Currently, the STOP command usually doesn't work reliably, Vivaldi will simply ignore the STOP command when i hammering the ESC key repeatedly... it just keep doing what the webpage & javascript tell it to!!!
This is a massive vulnerability for infinite popups loop, because Vivaldi won't STOP loading new Popup/webpage immediately when user try to stop unwanted popup from spawning even more popups.

Reorder Extension Buttons
Reorder the extension buttons on the right side of the toolbar.
Firefox has a whole slick UI for this, but just the ability to drag & drop the icons to move them around would be great.
Do as macOS standard apps do and allow all elements of the toolbar to be moved or ignored.
On macOS not doing this is a bug

Can we have a search box in the settings for "saved passwords"?
Cookies already have such search box. In a long list it's cumbersome to locate a certain entry for deleting.

Floating for youtube working on vivaldi

@oscarrob - Apple would force Vivaldi to adopt a different rendering engine before they would allow them to build for iOS.
-
@oscarrob in short words - it's not gonna happen:
Talking about the company's plans for 2017, Tomita says that the two main releases will be the mobile version of the browser and an integrated e-mail client, which a significant number of users have been asking for. On mobile, Vivaldi will only be available for Android, as iOS doesn't allow developers to go deep enough.
Â
"iOS has a lot of restrictions, you can't really have your own rendering engine ported there," Tomita says. "You can have your UI on top of Webkit—but that's not the extent we'd like to do it to." -
Use a separate theme for private browsing

Persistent mute tab option. It seems that, until some audio is played on a page, the mute option isn't available in the tab context menu. Please make option persistent so we can mute a tab before any audio is played.
-
"Mute other tabs" tab context menu option.
-
Auto-pin tabs based on URL match; either full URL or using wildcards.
-
Have autocomplete of URL offer the root directory of each website.
For example, although I may have visited
http://www.sephora.com/color-lip-last-lipstick-P313004?skuId=1389030&icid2=products grid%3Ap313004, I also want to be offered the choice of
http://www.sephora.com/ -- in addition to that product-specific URL. -
It is hard to understand why anyone would vote down an option.
Switching tabs with RMB + Scrollwheel is awkward, or requires the user to change finger positions.
- Use the ring finger on RMB and middle finger on the scrollwheel (I find this awkward), or
- Move the middle finger to RMB and use the index finger on the scrollwheel.
With the option to switch, one does not have to move any fingers to scroll tabs, but uses the index finger on LMB and middle finger on the scrollwheel.

@Pesala Downvoting any idea (even the ones that seem stupid) is kind of redundant since they're certainly not going to implement every single feature that the users proposed here (especially those "stupid" ones). But as for the LMB + scroll wheel shortcut - perhaps it's the design of your mouse or your customs that you find this combination more convenient - I don't know. For me it's very inconvenient since I alway use the middle finger for RMB and the index finger for both LMB and the scroll wheel. Perhaps the majority of users do that too and thus this is the default combination since the "old" Opera.
But I don't understand how is it possible to use LMB and scroll wheel without moving any fingers. Do you keep your middle finger on the scroll wheel at all times?

Why on earth not? The Index finger is for the LMB, the middle-finger for the middle button scrollwheel, and the ring finger for the RMB. Why does anyone need to move any fingers, except due to the default method of fast tab switching? If I try to hold RMB with the ring finger and use middle finger for scrolling, it's awkward so I have to move my fingers, but I do neither. I prefer to use Ctrl Tab because using the RMB and scrollwheel for this is so badly designed and awkward.
If you had to change your fingering for typing text, like if you had to switch between Qwerty and Azerty keyboards on two different computers you would find it pretty difficult to adjust. Why should one have to adjust fingering for tab switching?
Do you keep your middle finger on the scroll wheel at all times?
When the index finger is usually on the LBM where else are you going to put the middle finger but rest it on the MMB even when not scrolling, which is also something one does very frequently?

Yes, LMB + scroll wheel is inconvenient for me too.
Side Buttons + scroll wheel is a good alternative -
Afaik majority of people use index finger for lmb and middle finger for rmb. Also if you change to lmb+scroll to switch tabs then you cannot select long texts which require scrolling the page.

When the address bar is hidden, let Ctrl-L/F8 activate it temporarily.
I've been trying to declutter my browser UI, and realized that I don't really have that big of a need for the address bar, which I suspect is the case for many people who are using some combination of mouse gestures, speed dial, quick actions, or the bookmarks panel. The thing that stands in the way of completely getting rid of the address bar, however, is those infrequent instances in which you do need it: to copy the URL, or to go to a different site on the same tab, etc. So adding an "address bar on demand" facility with Ctrl-L/F8 would solve this quite elegantly, similar to how the "Show status info overlay" option elegantly allows folks to completely disable the status bar without any major downsides.
Also note that I'm not asking for a shortcut to simply toggle the address bar (which is already possible). That still requires you to perform 3 KB shortcuts whenever you need to focus on the address bar (enable the AB, Ctrl-L, then disable the AB).
This issue was brought up previously here, here, here and here as far as I'm aware.
I would really appreciate it if the team considered this. This would not affect the everyday user's life in any way whatsoever, and would be a delightful convenience for people looking into de-cluttering their browser

@Xan_ No problem, drag to select the start, shift + click to select the end. Far easier and less error prone than extending long selections with the scroll wheel while holding down the LMB
Afaik majority of people use index finger for lmb and middle finger for rmb.
They would have to always move one or other finger to scroll. With three fingers and three buttons, why would anyone use only two fingers?
-
Hi @Pesala, it seems like this is in response to a different feature request?
-
@Pesala I must admit I also find your mouse-handling a little unusual.
Myself, and I think most people (I will try to observe this now! ), use the index finger for left button and middle button / click-wheel. My middle finger is always resting on the right button. The ring-finger is used in opposition to the thumb to grip the mouse.
Before you say it must be hard to switch between left click and middle/wheel... it isn't - it feels completely natural on most mouses (mice?) since it's just a couple of millimetres between the two.
Edit: and I've just tried the three-finger way and on this mouse it is actually much more awkward to scroll with the middle-finger than with the index finger. The position is just "wrong" for that movement of my middle finger, while I can scroll further, quicker and more accurately with my index finger.
