Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10
-
Support Animated PNG Images (Implemented, courtesy of a Chrome update)
-
Prevent media (audio/video) from auto-playing as a website permission
It could be achieved by blocking all flash content (already possible) and preventing HTML5 audio & video from launching without user's action (click-to-play).
With this feature, we would be able to blacklist/whitelist websites for playing media, just like we could do it with Notifications, Popups, Plugins, Location, Camera & other website permissions.

Reorder Tab Stacks
-
More Speed Dial Columns Already implemented.
-
Sound notifications upon various events within the browser, like eg., finished download or page notifications
...or received e-mails (once the e-mail client for Vivaldi is ready). These sound effects should be customizable. Opera 12 have notifications for "program startup/exit, page loaded, failure, follow link", but I never used them. I don't mind seeing them in Vivaldi though...

Ability to re-order / remove various UI elements
First of all:
Extension iconsand panel icons. But the ability to re-order or remove some of the UI elements would be greatly appreciated. (I'd like to get rid of the Home button for example).EDIT: Reordering of extension's icons has been introduced in version 1.9.804.3. Still waiting for more customization options for the UI. Thanks for all the great work you've done so far!

Private Tabs
Just like in Opera 12. I haven't seen this in any Chromium-based browser, so I'm not sure if it's even possible (or if it's not too hard to implement)?
Usually opening a new tab is much quicker than launching a new window, so this could be a great feature.
