I find that Sync is sufficient, but just to be sure, I export my bookmarks from time to time. Backing up daily seems like overkill to me, but everyone has different workflows. As a general rule I don't like automated backups. Sometimes I might add no bookmarks for weeks, other times I might add several with an hour. Manual backups are OK as long as they only take a couple of clicks. One can assign a shortcut to Export Bookmarks.

@lonm said in Display a Favicon of my own for a Bookmark: If you wanted to do this for a webpage, maybe an extension could work, however that is impossible to do with a js extension In Google Web Store I found an extension: Bookmark Favicon Changer, which has not been updated since four years ago but still can do what its name indicates in current Vivadi, in a roundabout way, though, as I posted about it in the Extensions forum. It can not work on bookmarklets in Vivaldi. It's the only extension I can find In the Store for customizing bookmark favicon.

@ryanjohnjackson said in Slacking on standard features and bug response: The forum tends to hint that these issues either don't exist or no one will ever change them which makes me feel like I'm making a bad decision. The forum, understandably, tends to reflect people defending something they like when they get the feeling it's being devalued. But Vivaldi philosophy is to take user feedback into account and try to offer what's wanted - most popular first. But the reason for the existence of Vivaldi is new features, not copying other browsers. It is born out of a dissatisfaction with the mainstream, and it attracts new users only through its differences. Time spent aping the mainstream is time spent failing to attract eyeballs, and thus failing to ultimately have enough users to pay for itself. That said, there is also the effort afoot to keep from losing users because something new users would take for granted is not yet ready. The Team can't afford to short change either effort in pursuit of the other. It can't be either/or. It has to be both. There is in fact no slacking on "standard" features, and between five and fifty bugs are fixed every day. There are thousands to work through, and regressions are introduced weekly by changes in Chromium. And Vivaldi has to intake Chromium updates or risk both security holes and becoming incompatible with its own rendering engine. You're saying these things are on an official list that I missed somewhere? No official list. Just discussions with the Team. Why I want open in background as a default option: If I'm reading an article and the article references another link, I open that tab in the background as I read the article and keep reading. This is my default way of not getting distracted by new info. Having it as a secondary function takes me out of my reading every time. For now, it might help you to build a new habit with middle-click -I feel I need to shout about the default of background tab because it feels like it's part of the vivaldi culture No, no need to shout. Just upvote the existing feature request. Since there are already four ways to do it, it's not yet a priority to introduce an option to modify that menu. Bookmarks "with the unfinished Bookmarks Bar" I'm guessing you're saying it's not complete? That's correct. The bookmark icons issue exists for me in win 10 and mac 10.12 after importing from chrome Favicons aren't imported. They are fetched when sites are visited. Due to a difference in database structures, they can't be imported presently. But they are synced. To end, for me the browser is 95% to perfect. Once vid is fixed on mac and bookmarks bar behaves normally it's like 98%. That last 2% is my frustration with background tabs. I love all the other options, felt like this is left out on purpose since it's standard most the time. Video has been fixed on Mac more than once. Chromium and Mac OS updates keep breaking it. Hopefully a durable fix can be designed. Hope this isn't tl;dr lol Yeah, really, it was. :)

I've tested and they got merged as I wanted. Thanks everybody.

@pesala @Totonyus ...or rather this one ;)

@ozoratsubasa that would only work for new bookmarks, not for existing ones TsunamiZ wants generic bookmark symbol instead of a favicon.

I treat them as one in the same. I have a many, many speed dials. I'll swap one folder to another to make it my speed dial page. I would take any option, but this seemed like it would be simple to implement anyway since the mechanism is mostly there, just needs another option beyond saving to a file and copy paste. :)

@axk Moved to Feature Requests

@klav I moved your thread to the Feature Request forum, deleting the first, which is already here. The second request has not been made before AFAIK. It would be useful. Vote for Export Bookmarks from Bookmarks Manager

@maxkarlernst said in Add smart bookmarks: Thanks, am I wrong to say this doesn't exist in a large bookmark dialog? It's not available in the Bookmarks Dialogue. You can sort by Title, Address, Nickname, or Description in the Bookmarks Tab, but sort by date is not available yet. The feature request is good. More options will come later. Bookmark tagging is often requested. Nicknames are currently the nearest option to tags. If you add this link as a web panel you can easily search for other feature requests simply by changing the search string from "tags" to any other term. Enclose more than one word in quotes to search for a precise phrase.

@milliways And you can set a nickname for a bookmark folder. if you type it and hit enter, alle the containing bookmarks are opened in new tabs.

On a 1200x1600 portrait monitor the columns need to be resizable to be useful. The description column is largely unused. The Title can be edited with F2, but other fields can be edited only in the side panel.

@slartyblartfast Write your own speed dial extension. Or not even an extension, just a html site with links. I tried many speed dial extensions and they're all incredibly ugly in my opinion, the standard Vivaldi or Opera speed dial beats them all. But yeah, it's a matter of taste. My problem with the extension is that they mix what could be simple code with loads of useless crap and make the whole procedure bloated.

Although that URL has no icon in the URL field and cannot be added with "Add Active Tab" on the Bookmarks Bar, nor by using the Bookmark Page shortcut (Ctrl D), it can be added via the panel by adding a new bookmark and typing the URL. If I select vivaldi://about and go to the URL from the context menu, the whole page of Vivaldi URLs can be bookmarked in the usual way, or added as a panel.
