Please optimize the browser GUI for heavy usage/performance
When open many tab in single window or viewing video, the browser GUI will become very sluggish & even freeze for seconds. I notice whenever Vivaldi use more than 50% of memory, the browser GUI will start to act up. When this occurred, if i made changes to the GUI, (show/hide panel; Fullscreen; change tab position, resize window...etc.), then Vivaldi will freeze for about 10 seconds. Is there any setting i can change to improve this situation?
Spec: Lenovo z50-70 laptop, 8GB RAM, windows 8.1 x64, gtx860m, i7-4510u.
I hope Vivaldi developer will continue in optimizing the browser GUI for heavy performance. Opera & Firefox able to provide pretty smooth GUI even in heavy usage with my laptop. One day i wish i can switch to Vivaldi as my primary browser.

Always open new tab from address bar
Currently, there are already options to open new tab from either "alt+enter" or "shift + enter", I'd like to have the option to select just "enter" and use "alt + enter" to reuse the current tab instead.

When pressing "back" (e.g. on the mouse), but there's nothing to go back to, it should close the tab.
I understand your wish, but I think that if this behaviour is added, it should be exposed as a separate action. Specifically, [Back] is a separate action from '[Back; if Back fails, close tab]'.
Implementing your wish as extra behaviour of the Back command would break the logic of '[Forward] undoes [Back]': the new logic would be 'To undo [Back], usually press [Forward], but sometimes press [Undo close tab]'. I regularly run into this asymmetry on mobile Firefox, and it is a real pain point for me.
I like @Pesala's concatenate commands solution, here. That would allow a lot of context-sensitive actions.

@SyakeTgz That would be wonderful.
It would improve the Bookmarks organizer page on the Juxtaposability cognitive dimension: "Can different parts of the notation [the bookmarks tree] be compared side-by-side at the same time?"
Opera 12 had panes 'entire tree' + 'current folder tree' (edit current bookmark in a dialog); Vivaldi has panes 'entire tree' + 'current bookmark'. It is more common to be working in two parts of the tree at once(when organising bookmarks), so Opera 12's would be nicer than Vivaldi's current layout.
Or, even better: 'entire tree' + 'current folder' + 'current bookmark'. Even small screens are wide enough, nowadays.
-
@SyakeTgz Addendum: a current workaround is to open 2 Vivaldi windows side by side, and open a Bookmarks tab in each of them. This lets you see two parts of the tree at once, and you can drag/drop the bookmarks between the windows.

Pop-up search results from search bar
Instead of opening a new tab, it would be much easier, intuitive and productive if results from the search bar were displayed in a pop-up window.
Most organic searches are done related to what is being read on the main page. Being able to answer your questions via a pop-up search result will allow for a much more fluid workflow.

Built-in RSS Reader
As shown above, a simple (pop-up) web panel could serve as an interface for the RSS Reader, with all the essential functions all in show.
-
@SmoothMarx The searchbar popup overlay is a nice idea but don't we have something like this already?
Create a new webpanel and make it a searchsite -->done - now you can search for stuff while you still browse the website you were on while your question appeared. -
I would like also to have an option to CREATE A NEW WINDOW from taken card.
I mean: I want drag and drop active card to my desktop (out of Vivaldi browser) to creat a new card in separately window (Like CTRL+N)"

Faster search in Bookmark
When I press F6 it currently move the focus to the bookmark list.
So I can manually choose right bookmark.
But what I miss is possibility to start typing after F6 and it will write to the Search field directly.
Like Start menu in Windows works.
After press the Windows key you can start typing directly or use arrows to navigate in the list.
This will helps a lot with the user experience. -
@tprochazka said in Feature requests for 1.7:

It's debatable whether searching is the most common requirement, although a lot of users do search bookmarks frequently. It is easy enough to press the tab key, which toggles between focusing the bookmarks and focusing the search field.
Opera 12.17 remembers whatever was last used, whereas Vivaldi always focuses the last selected bookmark or folder.

Reader View for Touch friendly .. instead scrolling, make it swiping. and have a number of page of the site. and thumbnail preview like old Opera 12 want to do list long-long time ago...

User created "Custom Buttons" with all browser actions like in Opera12. Manage custom buttoms in a menu in settings. Drag and Drop custom buttons wherever you like. Share custom buttoms with other users via data-Links.
THIS WAS THE TRUE CUSTOMIZATION which vivaldi is triing to be strong at (and successfull!)
For those who didn't know:
You were able to write your own custom buttons - to access every opera browser action and put in into a custom button, you could pipe several actions each with their parameters and also some parameters for the description, say the button title or icon of the button into a single line of code.
One particular useful custom button that made the rounds was the "one-click-open-last-closed-tab-button-WITH-added-dropdownlistofLastClosed"
Another example: I made myself a button that would open the mail-panel AND opened the unread/inbox folder directly into a maximized window.
You could share these buttons with others via data-URLs as Links, say for example in the forum.
You could press such a shared button link and it was added to your "custom buttoms"-menu in the opera settings. Or you could drag-drop these links directly into your theme, your browser bar, side panel, mail panel... whereever you wanted the custom buttom. -
@dLeon -Yes but it doesn't work in a PRIVATE mode on browser.
