Features requests for 1.4
-
Add Shift+F2 dialog as in the old opera – it "listens" only for bookmark nicknames, and immediately opens the one as soon as it recognizes it, no need to type it completely, use arrows and Enter etc., unlike the current F2 dialog.
-
I would like it if searches using the search box would open in a new tab (like in Firefox) since doing them in the addressbar already uses the same one.
-
Didn't know Export Bookmarks was in the File menu…I was looking for it in the right-click context menu of the Bookmarks menu. Which brings me to update my request to the following:
Add
Export Bookmarks...option to the context menu of the Bookmarks menu. -
0. editable right click menu
1. master password
2. fully portable
3. "search with" (searchengine) in right click menu
4. side panel fully resizable (if bookmarks chosen, one can resize it so smal, only the icons are shown)
5. bookmark panel right/left
6. pop up search engine list when typing in search field
7. search engine edit -> up/down arrow (or drag) for engine position in the list -
EDIT: double post sorry

1. Profile full backup/restore option. Needed to make it easy to reinstall system.
2. Full Chrome profile import function. Reconfiguring all Chrome etensions in Vivaldi massive work. It would make Vivaldi much more popular if you could just import Chrome profile, extensions, its settings and all. Right now it doesn't work even if you copy Chrome profile manually. Ot at least it didn't work in stable version 1.2 for me.
3. Better resources control when closing browser with "run in background" option disabled. Right now in 1.2 on some laptops it can even crash entire Windows desktop if you're nor careful.
4. Movable extensions toolbar.
5. Movable extension buttons on toolbar. Extention buttons displayed in certain order instead just in load order.

1. Constant tab color for unfocused tabs, when theme color is enabled. (The address and bookmark bar switch colors like usual, depending on which tab is in focus) It's very intuitive to see the color of the tab and know what website that is - Facebook is blue, Youtube is red. It can also help the user visualize groups of tabs (if not using stacks) by color and reach where you need to go on the tab bar easily. It's also prettier!
2. Option to force tab color per domain, the user inputs the hex values. Some websites have an obvious color choice (facebook blue, youtube red) but not for other sites with multiple main colors (should Reddit be white or blue? Is google red, blue, green, yellow…?) it allows the user to set the color that is most familiar in their own mind - and this is going to be different for each person (google is blue the most to me, but it could be green for someone else)
3. Drag a link from the bookmark bar or the page onto the tab bar to open, and choose the location on the tab bar before letting go of the mouse with a small arrow between bars (like chrome).
4. Home button opens multiple pages of your choosing. Why does the home button open only one page, when you can already open an entire folder of links?
5. Disable X button to close tab while CTRL selecting mutliple tabs.

Unityfox revived
I know, that this addon is for Firefox, but it would be nice no see it for Vivaldi.
It makes a progress bar on Unity dock button (Ubuntu), the same as it is done on Windows. -
I'm using 1.3.544.25 and I'm sure there was a tab-rounding function in 1.2 … it's not in 1.3 but I did use that.
Tab rounding feature is still there. Go to Theme and edit your current Theme to modify rounding radius.

two things missing for me:
- inspector in same window (right & bottom)
- built in rss feed (the plugins is unusable for me,the m2 concept is perfect)
thanks

Option to activate keyboard shortcuts for selecting items on right-click context menu. I'm thinking like 1-9 instead of the alphabet, since there are often multiple operations listed that start with the same letter. This can help save time spent moving the cursor back and forth when the same operation on the context menu is to be repeated over and over again.

moveable toolbar items, including ability to put bookmark bar elements there
Ability to display extension buttons on toolbar in one particular order would really help IMO. Also I'd say it would make sense to give the user ability to set extension buttons in more than just one toolbar, in more than just row. Sometimes people use so many extensions that just one row isn't enough.
one click installation of chropera extensions from their store
One click import of entire Chrome profile along with extensions and their setting would be really awesome. But also Vivaldi IMO needs an option to backup/restore its entire profile (passwords included), preferably stored into a password protected file.
getting rid of speed dial completely
I vote against it. I use SpeedDial pretty often. But there can be an option to disable SpeedDial for those who don't use it.

EXTENDED BOOKMARKS
sometimes it seems useful to save more than one page from the site,
e.g. page of goods and link to shop address, a few news, etc.
in the most of the these cases we visit these pages "in one chain".
of course, we can add 2+ bookmarks to the same site, but it seems
redundant. and if we don't do it, we might forget the pages we didn't save.solution: for each bookmark store also tab history, at least 5 links back
and 5 forward (if any). i.e. when we open bookmark, we can move
back or forward from it as we could before, while initial browsing. -
With the release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Vivaldi seems faster than it used to be. It's very fast now. But Edge is now even faster. It's now much more resource efficient. It takes up less than half the RAM Vivaldi does, and it's better in UI performance and page loading.
Sometimes, there's still a slight page hanging in Vivaldi, though usually it's very fast now since the Anniversary Update. But I think one important thing that Vivaldi should focus on for 1.4 is optimization of page loading speed, resource usage, and UI performance. I know this will come more and more in time, and as you get more developers and do something about your involvement with Chromium, but you're now competing with Edge when it comes to speed and lightness, and it's important for Vivaldi to feel snappy and quick.
One of the things that I think helps browser feel snappy and quick is not just a snappy, quick UI, but the tab animations as well. Vivaldi doesn't have tab opening and closing animations like Edge and Opera do, let alone fluid and smooth animations. I think this would make Vivaldi seem like a better experience if it added those kind of animations.
Another area where Edge totally beats Chromium-based browsers is in font rendering and smooth scrolling. Eventually, it would be great if Vivaldi would create it's own font rendering and smooth scrolling to replace Chromium's.
-
Actually, I don't see Vivaldi as being in competition with Edge at all. They are aimed at completely different markets. For now, Vivaldi needs to be the most nimble of all the highly customizable browsers.
With the Anniversary update in Win 10 today I did wind up opening a couple of links from email in Edge before I restored my defaults, and I do have to say that its font rendering it superior. Chromium developers are going to have to get off their butts and do something about that.
-
I agree that they're not in competition in the same market, but Vivaldi will eventually be a highly customizable browser that is also as nimble and fluidly fast as any other browser, such as Edge or Opera. I just wanted to mention the changes in the Anniversary Update, and to say that I can't wait till Vivaldi is as fast and fluid as Edge, Opera, and the others, and has the fluid tab animations that modern browsers do. It's not that Vivaldi doesn't feel like a modern browser, it's just that it's very early in development, so it's not fully complete yet.
And yeah, the font rendering in Edge is great. Either Chromium needs to improve theirs, or Vivaldi needs to create their own eventually to replace Chromium's. Same thing for smooth scrolling. Edge's is superior to Chromium's in that area, but I installed a Chrome extension with settings to have smooth scrolling that almost mirrors Edge's/IE's.
-
So I just fired up Edge for about the third time in my life to see for myself and… the font rendering was absolutely sucky compared to Vivaldi!
When I took a screenshot of the two and zoomed in you can see that the rendering is definitely different, but only in that the Edge fonts look more "black and white" and Vivaldi's has coloured fringes on left and right... but in fact the fringes is how it should be since:
on my system the Chrome engine is respecting my ClearType settings and Edge isn't!
Did you guys properly set up ClearType on your systems?
-
I know that Multi Login or Private Tabs are already planned for future Vivaldi releases, however will it be in 1.4?
Thanks!
