It would be nice to have a user-friendly way to set site specific cookie settings (and other site specific settings). User friendly means like in Opera, you right click into the site and make the settings with the domain's name already entered.
The current way is so impractical that I never ever use it (and have already forgotten how it works anyway).

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

Gregor

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

Gregor

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.

Gregor

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

pafflick

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.
