Feature requests for 1.7
-
An option to reload the page after a certain amount of time
-
Highlight new features in settings
For those who are too lazy to read the changelogs or just want to quickly find the new features in settings. This could be achieved in many ways, like e.g. adding a "New!" flag, highlighting it with a different color etc. This highlight could be persistent (until the next update) or could disappear once the user views the tab containing new settings (for a certain amount of time), hovers over it or make changes to it.
-
Add displaying information about page load time in the address bar while loading pages
-
Private tab in same window.

I never used tab stacking in Opera 12, I hated it (and there was no way to disable). But now I use Vivaldi's tab stacking, it is much better for me. -

And Vivaldi tab stacking is just 2-pixel tabs inside a tab

I know some might not like the idea of integrating extensions in a browser, but how about HTTPS Everywhere? I know Brave browser integrates HTTPS Everywhere, and it would be nice to be able to use it without it taking extra RAM as an extension(which it can take quite a bit sometimes). All to make the web private, secure,
and encrypted. Vivaldi could also be seen as more privacy-friendly that way in the eyes of people looking for that. Mixing usability and privacy! -
Let popup windows open as popup windows.

To the new Screenshot feature add possibility for making gifs

@Pesala Or preferences for behaviour (right click is good, preferences to remove the x or disable confirmation... right now it's just one click and pouff).

@elypter Yes, at some point, Vivaldi should have the features to replace most extensions.
Now, here's another request. I know Vivaldi doesn't want to integrate their own ad-blocker, and they just leave it at that, but I'm not satisfied with how far that conversation went. What if Vivaldi integrated an ad-blocker that is turned OFF by default?
That would mean they could still delve in ads, but at least there's an integrated ad-blocker for those who do want it, which would be a heck of a lot of users. This to me just sounds like a more ideal solution than not wanting an ad-blocker at all for expression on the web and ads.

@dLeon It would make the page menu way too cluttered. What should be done is to make the menus customisable, then users can redesign the menus to suit their own needs.

Metalink support
It's a per-file metadata format used by many web servers. It contains hashes and alternative download locations amongst other things. The good thing about it, it's totally transparent and is based on http, it's backwards compatible to clients which don't support it.
-
@Ayespy Uhm, here it doesn't.
-
@elypter Still, just having an integrated adblocker, even with Vivaldi's own code and own lists would also be nice. It would be nice to be able to add lists too, so I could add the same lists I have for uBlock Origin and then I wouldn't have to use uBO.

First post here. I've been trying out Vivaldi for about a week and so far I'm loving it!
Here's the #1 thing I've wished for in other browsers I've used: I really like the Bookmarks Toolbar feature most browsers have but what I've always wanted is an option to have a double-decker or triple-decker Bookmarks Toolbar. Lots of us have plenty of space to spare on the large monitors that are common now so why not allow having more than one bar?
There are two ways I could see it working:
One way would be to have two or more completely separate toolbars, each with its own folder, and an option to display only the number the user wants.
The other way would be to just have the single toolbar with an option to wrap it around into two or more rows.
I can pretty much guarantee this would be a popular feature it it was added.

Earlier in the thread xyzzy pointed out the need for a bookmarks menu, like other browsers have. This is something I'm missing in Vivaldi as well. While a bookmarks side panel is good in some cases, in other cases I find I can get to the bookmarks I need much faster using a bookmarks menu. So having both a side panel and also a bookmarks menu would be desirable.
I tried putting all my bookmarks (a rather large collection) in a sub-folder and then putting that folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar. That creates a workable imitation of a bookmarks menu, sort of, but it takes several seconds to open every time, and makes the bookmarks organization kind of weird.
Anyway, something related to xyzzy's request that I've found frustrating over the years is that when using a bookmarks menu, as soon as you click a bookmark the menu will close. While this might seem logical, in many cases you want to launch several bookmarks from the same folder, but since the menu closes when you launch the first one you can't do that.
The request is that a better way would be to have the menu stay open until you move the mouse away. There would be no downside to doing it that way that I can see, and the menu would have greatly increased functionality.
