Dude, you know, this useful stuff you talk about is the 'page title' this is what the titlebar is supposed to be used for to display this in full un truncated.
Secondly, put you tabs vertically in the sidebar.
images below, should help you 'get it':
If you don't have the tabs at the top of the page, why are you complaining about tabs at the top being in the title bar?
I don't want the tabs in a sidebar because that takes up too much of my screen space. Having them at the top (in the title bar) sacrifices a small amount of space in favour of not losing 10% or more of the width of the screen. And I don't have a need to see the full page title; if I ever need that I just hover the mouse over the active tab.

Go to the Bookmarks menu, select Manage Bookmarks
What do you see?? All the bookmarks displayed in in the browser window area, not in a side bar why?
Because the content cannot fit practically in the sidebar.
Why?
Because the sidebar cannot be made wide enough for the content, it is limited fixed width.
Why 2, because also the user may have a vertical tab bar taking it's own width.
That, (why i even need to explain something so logically simply is beyond me) is what makes the actual browser window area the ideal location and to disclose this information, is best suited to raising a curtain from the bottom to expose.
Do you put any thought into anything or do you just 'off the cuff' resist things for arguments sake?
Ok, so I think i've been babysitter for too long in this thread, bye.
First of all, I stated my opinion. There is no reason for you to outright attack me by calling me stupid, calling me a babysitter and saying I'm just a troll. Best case it will simply take away credibility from your arguments, and worst case it will get you banned.
Secondly, press F6. What do you see? All the bookmarks displayed in a side panel, and not in a browser tab. Why? Because the content fits in a side panel. Why? Because you don't need all the available information about the bookmarks and features for managing them at all times; if you need that you can open the bookmarks page.
Again, I don't use a vertical tab bar since that takes up way more screen space than a horizontal tab bar. I do use side panels since they allow me to view content on the page while using the panel, without sacrificing any more height, and with the option to close them when they are not needed anymore.
I'm not simply arguing for the sake of it. I'm stating my personal preferences, as a contrast to yours. I do this to make it clear that some people prefer things the way they currently are, so that if the Vivaldi team makes any changes they will know to do something that will please us both.
