@luciothiago hmmm very interesting, good idea!

More flexible tab muting
So, in tab muting, I can mute all but the active tab.
I'd like more flexible muting, like blacklisting and whitelisting tabs for mute.For instance, I'd like to blacklist a website I read that autoplays what I can only charitably call background noise -- I'd like that website always muted even if it is the active tab.
Similarly, I'd like to whitelist specific tabs so that they always play even when they are in the background and I have "play only active tab" set. For instance pandora (which should always play, but be lower priority than the active tab), or another site that sends occasional audio alerts so it should have priority over the active tab.

@pafflick - upvoted your request. Also upvoted reequest for better feature request tools!

Add Print Selection to the Vivaldi Print dialog
I use this all the time and have to use Ctrl+Shift+P to get to the system print dialog which has this option. -
Possibility to protect all or individual 'Notes' with password.
Save 'Notes' in encrypted format rather in plain JSON format in ./config/Vivaldi/Default/Notes. -
Request:
With tabs on left or right panel, resizing the panel only resizes it for that window, not all windows.(Currently, it will resize it for all windows, which I don't see a way to disable -- very annoying if you have a video playing in one window and it keeps resizing…)
-
@Pesala As long as it's like chrome's drag-along style rather than an Firefox Australis-like clunky interface!
-
Add option to disable the "This type of file can harm your computer" warning for downloads.

@dLeon Thanks, that works. I would never have thought to try it. It would still be "nice" to have it in the Print dialog where it isn't a "hidden" feature.
The first time I tried this, I happened to right click on the image you included in this post. That context menu does not include Print. Luckily, I tried it again and clicked on your text - where it does work. While this behavior makes sense, it does argue for having the option on the Print dialog where it will always be visible and will just work.
Since your text and the image were both selected when I right clicked on the image in the selection, this might be a bug in Vivaldi.
-
@dLeon There's an additional side effect of this. If you just select a picture, you can't Print it as a selection. That's counterintuitive.
You can click on the picture which opens it in another tab. Then you can print it, but that seems to be unnecessarily complicated.
-
@luciothiago -- For some people yes, but certainly not for everyone. Personally i intensely dislike that, & absolutely want to continue having site thumbnails for my speeddials. Hence, as with most else in the V philosophy, options are the key.

Additional Setting: Restore pinned tabs on startup
Previously this functionality was available in startup settings when ticking "Always load pinned tabs". It stopped working during the 1.8 snapshots/stable release and continues to be dysfunctional in 1.9. It turns out that it was never meant to work this way, but most people used it to save tabs for restart nevertheless. Would be nice to get it as additional setting, since this functionality is missing now, and users are complaining about it / are confused.
-
On the Start page:
"Start" - "Bookmarks" - "History" - ("DOWNLOADS" should be here also, using more screen real estate, not just that smaller side panel that inevitably truncates the links from vision). -
TILE as Opera 12x used to tile tabs.
How? In Opera 12 you just clicked on the "tile" button provided and ALL TABS in that window would automatically tile, without the need for selecting anything. What's more, all tiled tabs could easily be maximized by double clicking on their tab title. -
I would like a built-in Autofill for filling in on-line forms. There is one extension that has the right idea, but it doesn't work perfectly on Vivaldi. Either that, or have the Autofill extension work seamlessly. Here is a link to the extension:

@gaelle Tab Mix Plus type capabilities for Vivaldi.

Drag and drop text into tabs panel to search or follow link
On Firefox, I can select text and drag it to the tabs panel (on the right side of the tabs) and it Firefox makes a search with it. If I drag a link, Firefox follows the link. This is a small feature I would like to have on Vivaldi, because it makes it easier when searching something.
-
Improved search providers support.
I came from Firefox. There, I use search providers everyday as if they were commands, by using their aliases. On Vivaldi I can have the same features, but I can't add any search provider (at least what I know of). I would like to add any search provider like the ones you can pick on MyCroftProject; so I could use commands like "t anyword" to translate it on google translator to my language, get definitions of words on my favorite local dictionaries, or use sites that don't support OpenSearch by default.
-
@aderitobonito A rather pointless feature, since the context menu already allows you to search with any installed search engine more easily than dragging selected text all the way to the Tab Bar.

Password management
Something that is extremely important to me and that's not letting me make Vivaldi my primary browser yet is password storage and management. I feel the need to have total control on my passwords, to edit them site by site and to keep them safe. So, I would like to see a feature on Vivaldi, in which I would be able to save my passwords, manage them as I wish and lock any access to them with a master password.
