Feature requests for 1.8 / 1.9

Follower Tab

Once created, every link opened from within the page for which the "Follower Tab" has been created, should open in that newly created tab. This should override the target attribute in links.

This feature is present in Opera 12 and I find it especially useful for e-mails. I hope that it will be implemented at some point, especially when the Vivaldi Mail client is finally released.

Do Not Show Find Toolbar with Find Next/Previous

F3 and Shift F3 should find the next/previous occurrence of an existing text string on any tab without showing the toolbar. The Find Toolbar should, however, be shown if the search string is empty.

Ctrl F should always show the Find Toolbar.

Lazy load tabs opened in the background (as an option)

Sometimes it would be handy to be able to open multiple tabs in the background without loading their contents right away and thus slowing down your network and computer. This should also apply (optionally) to opening multiple links at once from the bookmarks menu.

Reuse already existing Private Window when opening links in private window (if there is one opened already).

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 15+ (currently it's above 40, but I'm not keeping up with them anymore).

Proximity Search to Find Two or More Words

E.g. Typing "Show Toolbar" would find this instance.

Override the default Chromium blank page with a customizable one...

... in order to avoid flashes of white, while browsing dark themed websites. From what I've learned on the Internet it's not quite possible in Chromium, so it would be nice to have some kind of a workaround for this in Vivaldi.

Another way to achieve that could be to delay displaying web page contents by a certain (user-specified) amount of time or until the page finishes loading. Opera 12 had such feature, though it didn't always work as expected...

PageBar Open URL On MiddleClick

Like in Opera 12.17 Paste and Go in a new tab with the clipboard contents. If it's a URL go to that site, if it's plain text, do a default search for that text.

Ability to remove downloaded files from the hard drive (directly from the download panel or vivaldi://downloads page)

Allow turning on full-screen mode as a website permission

With this feature, we would be able to blacklist/whitelist websites for turning on full-screen mode automatically (like eg. opening video in full-screen mode), just like we could do it with Notifications, Popups, Plugins, Location, Camera & other website permissions. Global setting to allow/disallow full-screen on all websites by default would be welcomed too. Some browsers - like IE for example - ask you to allow the site to run in the full-screen mode.

Easy Link Selection Like Opera 43

Use horizontal click-and-drag to select the text.
Use vertical click-and-drag to drag the link.

@zaibon There is already something like this: CTRL + F11.
Is this what you mean?

Personal Bar!

Back in the days of Opera there was the possibility to assign a subset of the Bookmarks to a personal bar, which could be placed to the left or right side.
PLEASE implement this! I found this very convenient to quickly navigate to or update my usual sites with one click.
The bookmark/panel wastes too much space, especially when the bookmark collection is nested.

And the bookmark bar is only top/bottom, i would have to duplicate my favorites to top-level, and i see the whole archive of bookmarks i don't want to see for quick-access to favorites.

What comes close to this is to open my favorite sites and pin the tabs (and put the tab bar to the right, the layout is just perfect). But navigating sooner or later changes the URL the pinned tab refers to, so it becomes useless. So maybe add the option to "lock" a tab, which is the same as pinned but has a fixed URL that never changes ...

Remember position of closed tabs

Currently reopening closed tab results in opening this tab in a new position. What I would like to see is to open the closed tab and place it where it was before. It works like that in Opera 12 for example.
