This Day and That Year: Incredible two years!
-
I'm still waiting for a version of Vivaldi able to replace my old Opera 12 as main browser, however I'm happy to see you reach this day
Actually I have not any good "killer feature" in Vivaldi that is not implemented in other browsers in a better way (I love the side panels, but Opera 12 and Otter manage them a lot better; Speed dial is way more well implemented in Opera-chromium; Notes are quite good, but very slow with my thousands of them, the same is for bookmarks; Tab stack is better in the old Opera; for Sessions management I still haven't find a good solution (I know how it should be but it simply doesn't exist); the Downloads panel offers a very poor experience (way better at least the Download widget of Firefox); the "reader mode" is quite useless as it is, Firefox and third parties extensions are way better; and so on… )
However if I've to say my 3 favourites features in Vivaldi:
- Notes
- Compatibility with Chrome extensions
- screenshots button
What I really miss and I want to see in 2017 ?
- Full customization of toolbars, buttons, and menus with something like .INI files
- MDI
- Feed reader with feed discovery
-
Vivaldi didn't really change the way I browse, but they gave me the possibility to browse how I was used to browse before some guys decided to dump Presto.
My three favourite features?
1. stackable Tabs (even though they're not expandable)
2. everything that has something to do with the sidebar (history and website info would be great to have in the sidebar)
3. the tab handling (being able to remove the close button and closing the tabs with a double click without the need of an addon is huge for me :D)
(3.1 mouse gestures!) -
I did not start using Vivaldi since the first release because I did not know it, so I was introduced to it, a year and a half ago, and I never left it!
Congratulations on completing two years! The browser is very good!
On the three favorite features, it is very difficult because the browser is full of native functions that virtually all are favorite!I'll quote …
1 ° - Customization, change the browser color.
2° - I love can put any background image on the speed dial.
3 ° - Web panels.It's very difficult to choose just three, because the speed dial is one of Vivaldi's very good things! Note and screenshots too,Quick commands, the functions of the tabs in general!
Thank you very much for creating Vivaldi, after using for the first time the user does not know of another browser! Each release Vivaldi becomes more complete! Thank you!
Sorry for my English! -

congratulations vivaldi team!
Vivaldi didn't really change the way I browse, but they gave me the possibility to browse how I was used to browse before some guys decided to dump Presto.
that's exact my opinion
the only new feature, which changed the workflow, is the inbuilt screenshot tool. I hope, you sent another extensions I use in retirement.
have a nice weekend -
¡Enhorabuena, muchas felicidades!

You could just bookmark all open tabs into a folder, then import that into Vivaldi, and open all bookmarks within the folder in Vivaldi. All should be quick and easy steps.

Vivladi was light after the darkness of Opera 15+.
My three favorite features are:
1 - Side panel for managing bookmarks, notes and Downloads;
2 - Tile Tabs;
3 - Themes.What I would like for 2017:
1 - Email Clients;
2 - Complete Translations;
3 - Improved performance. -
found out about vivaldi when app was still in beta but never leaved since…simply glad that i found a new home after old opera closed...
hard to choose a feature on the browser so i will just say i like vivaldi because it let me browse the way i want and not the way the browser want...
hope anyway to see the mail client and the torrenting option back

I don't think there are any features that have changed the way that I browse. Mostly, I can now browse just as I did before using Opera 12.17. Tab Tiling, Tab-stacking, Reader View, Mouse Gestures, Keyboard shortcuts, Nicknames, Search Engines, etc., are all the same or similar to what I used in Opera.
There are, however, a few missing features that have changed the way that I browse.
1. I still have to use Alt Tab to access my mail client in Opera, so I am still waiting for the email client. I now use Web Mail more often, with bookmarks on my Bookmarks Bar instead of buttons on my main toolbar in Opera.
2. If I want to inspect an image's properties, I have to copy the page URL, and middle-click the tab bar in Opera 12.17 to get the image context menu, so that's a bit of a hindrance while I wait for the Image Context Menu in Vivaldi.
3. If I want to launch an application that is infrequently used, again I have to switch to Opera to launch it (quicker than using Windows Start menu) with mnemonic shortcuts, e.g. P,P,5 to launch PagePlus X5 (an old version that I load only to help others still using it).One major change, though, is that I no longer have to launch Firefox for the Open In Menu, to view some sites that do not work in Opera.

@Pesala I don't know exactly when, but Jon said that Mail is coming to snapshots pretty soon. I have used the mail, and while it's still a bit buggy and missing some features, it is actually usable as a primary mail client now (six months ago, it was under heavy heavy construction).

My favourite features are:
- Colour change according to website.
- Tab preview when hovering over a tab.
- Page tiling.

I've been accompanying Vivaldi's growth from day one, and I love what it's become! My three favorite features are:
1)Tab Stacking: I always leave a load of anime, manga and work related tabs opened. By grouping them together, i can always know exactly where each tab is, and I leave the UI free for more tabs!
2)Tab Tiling: I'm an avid player, and I'm always researching about games on the internet. For Fire Emblem, for example, I access Fire Emblem Wiki and Serenes Forest in order to get all the info I need on my playthroughs. By being able to tile those two websites together, i get all the info I need on the same screen, so I don't have to keep changing tabs every time I need a piece of information one site doesn't have!
3)Web Panel: I work as an online tutor, teaching English and Portuguese to people from Japan. Having a dictionary on the web panel makes life a lot easier, since it's always accessible right away, doesn't take space on the tabs bar when I'm not using it nor does it take memory until I decide to open the panel! Not to mention I can still navigate on the tabs, so I can still keep track of the research I was doing (I usually show my students pictures of Brazil or news about the country) and still having the dictionary at hand!I love those three features, and I couldn't browse without them anymore! But I do wish they were a little improved. Tab Stacking could allow us to expand the group of tabs so we could change their positions (like in Opera 12); Tab Tiling could allow for one or more windows to be always on top, so I can browse on other websites and still have that Youtube tab active, allowing me to pause or change the video without losing sight of the other tab I'm currently at, even if not part of the tile; and finally, Web panel could have Go To Previous Page and Go To Next Page buttons, as well as F5 on the web panel refreshing it instead of the active tab!
But I'm sure those improvements are coming! Happy Birthday, Vivaldi!

I love the tab handling too! I removed the close buttons and use the scroll button to close them! Single click, simple and efficient, doesn't require precise mouse accuracy and I won't close them by mistake when the tabs are squinted together!
-
That sounds pretty nice, and I've been hearing the same thing too for a while. I don't know if it will be for 1.8, or if they will wait until 2.0 to release the mail client.

Congratulations to the Vivaldi team!
It really doesn't seem like two years, I remember reading on some tech news site that the creator of opera was starting a new browser with built in mail client, I think great. and i have been checking the progress every snapshot since.
Vivaldi is not my primary browser, yet, i'm still using opera12 because of the mail client, I just find it handier. but since chromecast has been implemented i have scarcely opened chrome browser.
My Wishlist: Well its a waste of time typing anything because IMO the devs have pretty much thought of everything already.
Favourite thing about V: Its the best browser available, But my favourite thing is not about the browser itself, its the way for two years now we have been having regular snapshots and the dev team listen to every comment and criticque, "A browser for our friends" it truly is.
