@bonetone I generally agree, but I do see a distinction here which you seem to not recognize. For me, "swipe-action" and "gesture" are really two separate things and should be treated differently. I'll try to explain:

Swipe action:

Part of "standard UI" - swipe action over given element does one specific thing (or one of given set of things) - like "clicking" or "taping" on a button, it just does what the button does. as such it "comes" with the new installation and works right away It's tied to the given element (button, bar...) and can be activated only from this element Is simple (preferably just a single one direction swipe), so it is easy to execute and easy to find by trial-error learning approach

Gesture:

Part of personalized UI (or fully adjustable UI) - specific gesture can be assigned to anything what specific user prefers as such it must be set up (or synced or learned, if you use "default") by the user before it can be used Is executable "anywhere" (...with reasonable limitations, like "anywhere over the page space, outside of other control elements") might be as complex as user wishes it to be in both number of moves and their directions

I really believe these two things should be treated separately, since they fill a different function and (some, many?) users will treat them differently. Both of these are useful, though, it's just they fill a different purpose.

Regarding swipe-actions: I do think that using swipe-actions everywhere is a good idea, because it allows to get more options from less UI elements, keeping the app simple and streamlined. Their usage is tight to the UI itself, though.

For example I would much appreciate to have just one "GENERAL TABS" button in the center of the bottom bar. This buttom could have following functions:

TAP: shows tab overview swipe-UP: shows speed dials swipe-RIGHT (=from center of bottom bar, to right) - goes to next tab swipe-LEFT (=...) - goes to the previous tab
then: swiping from left side of the bottom bar (left from TABS button) to right = forward swiping from right side of the bottom bar to left = backwards

...this way you can have way less buttons in the bottom bar with way more actions which can be triggered from this bar. But it is closely tight to how the bottom bar is being organized.

(Of course it would be great to have the option to personalize ALL of this, but... I'd suggest to stay down on the ground 😃 )

Are you really ignoring user's privacy?
Why don't you implement anti fingerprinting for the mobile version of Vivaldi? If it's for technical reasons please explain it. It may help to understand the development decision.

@LonM said in Extended Link Properties:

While this would be nice, it is my experience that some web servers don't always report the size of a download before starting. That can confuse even the default download manager of a browser.

I agree, some web servers don't always report the size of a download, but many give this information and it very conveniently.

please Vivaldi, give me option to turn off AMP google (Remove AMP/de-AMP) option

+2 Yeah, would be useful to distinguish browser profile (left) from mail profile (right)

We only can see the profile icon when dev tool is launched - mail profile, fox icon:

Maybe someone do know how to update its code (oddspace.js) so it can also work for example here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?

RSS Feed is life...

I really want the 'nicknames' functionality for search engines on the iOS version. I tend to use multiple search engines for different use cases, on the browser version of Vivaldi this is so fast and convenient to do using the nicknames, would love to be able to be as productive on my iPhone!

@martenX said in Option to clear cookies on exit and dedicated whitelist:

UI-wise, you can just add a button to protect/whitelist/allowlist a cookie next to the delete button:

Probably the best way to whitelist a cookie (hoping come something similar on desktop too)

@sirius23 which browsers can whitelist cookies on mobile? (not very updated on the matter)

Please save android history for at least 6 months

Would like this. I keep tabs open for this exact reason and eventually it becomes a nightmare. Even a simple export to CSV feature that stores URLs and titles would be nice. This way I can search through the titles as well

For me possibility to disable mouse gestures on specific websites is super important. Manual turning it on/off is tedious.
By the way it could be useful to switch mouse gestures on/off per site in site settings. But list of websites works as well.

@an_dz Thanks for pointing out the right nodeBB component.
Issue opened. If it's unclear, let me know and I'll edit.

Well, for completion sake, it needs Mail, Calendar, Tasks and RSS feed reader. I'd consider Mail, Calendar and Tasks as one app and an RSS reader as another app. Or even a separate app for notes/tasks alone. Although i apreciate having the notes in Vivaldi mobile browser, i think it belongs in a different app.

For now i would be really happy with RSS and Tasks apps, as there's no way to sync these in mobile (that i know of).

@barbudo2005
Thank you!

@Hababr said in Multiple Row Tabs:

What exactly does not work? You don't see changes at all?

I'm sorry. That's my fault. I used a space in the css file name.
Now it works, thanks!

@somebody I really support this feauture but the mode that Brave does it is the the best way as I see it.

thanks

I didn't read the whole thread, just responding to one of the first posts where the idea postulated is that "this looks similar to profiles"

multiple profiles is a great feature, and I use it extensively. However it is completely different to what I understand this request is about.

There are major downsides to multiple profiles if you don't need them..

it is a lot of work to update settings in each and every profile Each profile is huge.. some people have limited space on their laptops (my C drive is only 256gb) .. they are huge because they need to store cache files. I'm sure there are others

Some other things a battery saver mode could do:

suspend mail, calendar and feed client syncing suspend vivaldi sync disable extensions. This would ideally be configurable which ones to disable, and they would be re-enabled when you turn off power saving. hibernate side panels disable smooth scrolling
