Feature requests for 1.6

Add "Open Link" option in the context menu.

The purpose of this would be to override the target="_blank" attribute in hyperlinks, so that it would open every link using the current tab (regardless of the target attribute). You can see how it works in Opera 12:

Opera 12 Context Menu

V icon (top left) and X icon (top right) clickable after cursor moved to the top edge of the screen

Night mode (for certain pages).
It could work just for certain page like Dark Reader extension. There is in page actions possibility to implement that, for now there's only darken backgrounds and not very contrasting fonts.

Animation of opening/closing tabs.
Opera/Firefox have this nice little animation of opening/closing tabs...

Implement the ability to use the "back button" on vivaldi://startpage (after entering a folder).*

We should be able to quickly move between folders on our Speed Dial pages. Currently the only way to go to the previous folder (after entering one), is to click on a tiny button placed above the Speed Dial items. It's inconvenient.

* By the "back button" I mean the following:

Go to previous page button [<] on the navigation panel;
Keyboard shortcuts ([← Backspace], [CTRL] + [←] or custom ones);
The built-in "Back" button that some mouses have;
Mouse gesture "History back".

Warning when closing browser during downloading the file.

Make middle click always open the link in a new tab.
Currently sometimes a middle click uses the current tab depending on the website.

@borrougagnou I can't, it's the requirement of this topic, didn't you read the first post?

Use the already existing Private Window when opening links in private window (using the context menu).

Something like this:

function ContextMenuClicked("Open Link in Private Window") {
	if (PrivateWindowsOpened==0) {
		Open(NewPrivateWindow);
	}
	else {
		Select(NextPrivateWindow); //or last used private window
	}
	GoToURL();
}

You can check how it works in Opera browser (the one with Chromium).

Switch the cursor to pointer when hovering over bookmarks

But only when the "Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click" option in vivaldi://settings/bookmarks/ is checked. It would be more intuitive and less misleading.

Hadden89

Reload all tabs and Open link in same window/tab function (contextual menu and gestures for them)

Hadden89

Drag 'n drop and context menu for bookmarks bar; its sub folders columns shouldn't go out from Vivaldi window area

Hadden89

Extensions re-ordering and a sub menu for less used extension (maybe with an option to unload some of these)

Please add the following functions:

View the download speed, add sound or other indication when the download is complete.
In Tile pages concurrently scrolling of all pages in the keeping of certain keyboards etc.
Make controls (mouse gestures) for folders fast access (currently for the return of the folder you need to click on <<*Name Floder).
The option to customize icon extension field (background color, size, order etc.)
Supplement icons such as cut, paste, copy, and so on.
Add the possibility to catch and move the icons on Webpages panels and extension icons.
Add Sesion manager to the panel.
Add History manager to the panel.
The possibility of placing the panels up and down, not just left and right.
Portable version.
More option for right click on Extension icons, not only Hide button.
Customize speed dial Thumbnails and Folders.
Better History manager (something like Bookmarks manager) inside Speed dial's top bar.
Better Download manager (something like Bookmarks manager) inside Speed dial's top bar.
Export complete user profile (settings, bookmarks, webpages in panels, themes, background pictures, notes, paswords etc.) It would also as a backup. (I do not think the synchronization feature, because not everyone wants to keep their data on servers, but a full backup of your profile).
Add controls +/- on zoom in status bar (by moving the slider to set the desired values it is not as accurate and fast).
Hotkey or mouse gesture to Hide or Minimize browser.
More options for Web panels (show adress, set zoom, set value of separate wide)
Some extensions also make available for web pages located on Web panel (block advertisements in YT videos for example)

As a web developer I would love to have the developer tools in the same windows.
Best would be like in chrome, where you can choose if the developer tools shall be shown in a new window, on the right side or the lower part of the active tab.

Having the tools in an extra window is a bit uncomfortable when working with more than one page -> then you have to find and bring the correct dev tools window to front again.

PS: I know it was already mentioned in vivaldi forums before, but it seems that you can upvote beloved features here, so maybe ETA can be shortened
