3. Mouse cursor doesn't disappear when watching videos (VB-11907)
4. Help Does Not Open from Settings Dialogue (VB-16346)
5. Settings dialogue should remember its last used size (VB-16517)
6. Option to continue to insecure sites (VB-17152)
7. Find in Page toolbar should not be displayed by F3. (VB-18100) Ctrl F should toggle it
8. Reduce speed dial spacing and use wide aspect ratio to fit more on the page (VB-19190)
9. Default shortcut for Bookmark Manager should not be Ctrl B (VB-17731) conflicts with bold in many pages.

I'm a huge fan of 'Accent Colour from Active Page'. But, is there any way to make the transition from each accent colour smoother?
For example, if you go to Amazon, the accent colour is yellow. Then, if you go directly to the Guardian, the accent colour suddenly switches to dark blue. The sudden switch draws the attention away from the webpage itself. Is there anyway to make the change between the two colours gradual? So, yellow would fade into dark blue? Instead of suddenly switching between the two colours.

and "go button" implementation.
Go buttons for me (address field and search fields).
This and the paste and GO on search and page fields are the things I miss more.
Den_po has a mod for them, but being a tester this is unpractical for me.

Bookmark bar: Middle mouse click on a bookmark subfolder should open all containing tabs.
-
Bookmark bar: When opening a bookmark in a bookmark folder, the bookmark folder is getting closed. Would be great if it would stay open, so it would be possible to open more bookmarks at once.
-
Bookmark bar: When opening a bookmark root folder, hovering the mouse cursor over another root folder should open it without the need of a second mouse click.
In short: Please take Opera's bookmark bar as an example. It has all three requested features implemented and has in my humble opinion the best bookmark bar of all popular browsers. Especially the first feature request is very important for me, cause it prevents me from using Vivaldi as my main browser.

Both for the Windows version of Vivaldi:
1) switch to disable the execution of programs (on by default)
This requires you to query the targets for the specific file extension and ensure that the file won't be executed on open. Additionally, you could maintain a list of Windows file extensions for executables (.exe, .com β but there are more).
The fact that Vivaldi treats extensions like '.mp3' and '.exe' the same (when clicking 'open') is "problematic" for obvious reasons.
Difficulty to implement: low2) removal of unnecessary files after Vivaldi has updated
Alternatively this could be put into the update dialog (extra switch).
This should be easy for you β and only for you β as you know, which files are actually needed and which are obsolete.
I noticed that Backups were increasing in size. It turned out, that the culprit was Vivaldi leaving residues of old versions after each update.
Difficulty to implement: low -
Please add the following functions:
1. View the download speed, add sound or other indication when the download is complete .
2. In Tile pages concurrently scrolling of all pages in the keeping of certain keyboards etc.
3. Make controls (mouse gestures) for folders fast access (currently for the return of the folder you need to click on <<*Name Floder)
4. The option to customize icon extension field (background color, size, order)
5. Supplement icons such as cut, paste, copy, and so on.
6. Add the possibility to catch and move the icons on Web pages panels and extension icons
7. Add Sesion manager to the panel
8. Add History manager to the panel
9. Consider the possibility of panels up and down
10. Portable version

1. Save cached media to disk: on firefox I use cacheviewer (an extension) to browse the cache and easily save media content I visited (especially images).

Shouldn't search on new tab store search phrase (search edit-box) for newly opened tab? Currently search phrases are stored for tabs from which searches are triggeredβ¦

I would like to have the developers' focus on enhancing functionality rather than adding eye candy.
Important things missing:
[ol]- POP3-Mail-client
- Content blocking/Ad blocking
- Built-in possibility to switch off autoplay of html5-videos (currently possible with third-party extension only)
- A unified settings menu. Currently some settings are in the settings menu, other things you just have to read somewhere and remember (e.g. chrome://settings or vivaldi://extensions) because you won't get there using Vivaldi's menus.
- Not as important but would be useful with some sites: Different zoom options for pages using frames (i.e. independent zoom values for frames and content),
Edit: - "Bookmark link" within context menu (right click).

I think these are the same ones I had last time.
-
Add 'Fast Forward' function to rocker gesture by pressing holding left mouse button followed by right click (Opera 12 had this).
-
In mouse gestures, make'Open Link in New Tab (Over a Link) a separate mapping. It is currently forced together with the 'New Tab' gesture mapping.
-
Double-click tab bar to open a new tab.
