Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10

Omen_20

@Pesala That seems like a hack more than anything else. Someone shouldn't have to remember to always use Maps in private, just for the off case they might want to browse their history later. If the search can filter down on specific results, it can easily do the same for exclusion.

@Omen_20 I agree, that Vivaldi needs some work for Web panel favicons. But previously I had the same issue and I've figured out how to keep favicons after restarting Vivaldi. You just need to use correct URLs. Especially the correct protocol (http/https) is important.

For Twitter I have just tried this URL, and the favicon is not blank after Vivaldi's restart, it's only changing a bit after loading:
https://mobile.twitter.com/home (mobile version).
For Medium try https://medium.com/ (mobile version)
For getpocket - https://getpocket.com/ (mobile version)

Some other URLs I'm using and have no problem with favicons:
https://keep.google.com/ (desktop version)
https://translate.google.com/m/translate (desktop version)
https://www.youtube.com/ (mobile version)
https://www.messenger.com/ (desktop version) also see this.

I'm using Vivaldi - a few days now, intensively, it's pretty terrific. Like Opera used to be before suddenly turned into anti-Opera.
The only problem is tab size. Too many tabs - and they shrink until it's almost impossible to hit the tab and not the "close tab" "x", which, of course, does NOT shrink.
What I'd love is the option to set a minimum tab size - and if there are too many to fit on the screen at that size, they'd scroll, a la Firefox. I don't love tab grouping (although I do like the idea of having the option). I can find work-arounds, but it would be nicer to have a setting. Other people seem to have the same issue - why not introduce the option?
Let me add in advance - there is no such thing as "a problem with too many tabs." A large number of tabs is a good thing, something I want, it is productive for me. The question is concerns only the range of methods a browser offers for handling them.
Thanks for your brilliant work!

Integration of side notes with IFTTT/Zapier/Microsoft's new svc so can choose what svc want to integrate w/ (e.g., Evernote, Trello, Todoist, a million others), and how to integrate. Ppl love them some IFTTT, would bring in a ton of new users. And save me from using two extra extensions and a newtab page.

@DamanGoldberg already suggested (/post/125639):

Export Notes to either of Keep, OneNote, Evernote, PDF, LibreOffice, etc. Also, printing using system dialog without manual Copy/Paste.

I think ppl have been clamoring for this for at least a year? Any idea about whether will be implemented/when? Thanks!

Three requests:

Main window border -> switch in settings to enable/disable main window border. Working on big screen with multiple windows which has white background ano border is mostly annoying. I know I can enable it by editing css but this is not very comfortable doing on every new release. Also if border is enabled, it is not possible to move window from border (1px space)
Fav icons -> imported bookmarks doesn't get favicons, before I firstly visit them
Mouse hovering over folders on bookmark bar -> it is needed to click if you want to navigate between different folders on bookmark bar. On Opera mouse hover works.

@Omen_20 @RammsteinAM this problem has seemed to fix itself with the latest Snapshot (1.9.811.13), well for me anyway

Sortable web panels

@huy.dinh said in [Feature request] Sortable web panels:

Doesn't anyone ever feel like they want to sort or shuffle around their web panels, because of some OCD tendencies which demand that a certain panel needs to be above/below another certain one?

Or is there a not-so-intuitive workaround for this already? "Simple" drag and drop does not work and neither does pressing down some Magic Keys whilst trying to drag and drop web panels.

Web panel icon/button vertical scroll

Yes while the alternative is to just disable some of your less used web-panels I feel it would be ideal if when the panel is focused as a whole you can cycle through all your web panel icons with both a scroll of the mouse wheel or with UP / DOWN arrow keys.

BUG: this suggestion would fix a bug I've noticed when too many web panels are loaded they get pushed outside of screen and the + becomes inaccessible due to being pushed down the screen too much...

@onenil The answer is: when it's ready. But they're working on it already.

Better tab popup thumbnail like Firefox Tab Scope

Real-time preview of tab contents
Navigate (Back/Forward/Reload/Stop) through popup
Scroll pages or frames in preview with mouse wheel
Click links or buttons directly in preview
Automatically show preview for tabs opened in background

@dLeon,
Isn't a middle click (wheel click) easier and safer?

Wladisha

History monthly view idea - right-click on day, choice of deleting all of history for that particular day only.

Fig

Follower Tabs, like we had in Opera.
Open tab A. Create a Follower Tab ( tab B ). Any links clicked in tab A will open in tab B.
NiftySplit extension provides similar functionality, but only allows creation of a follower window, not a tab.

@dLeon Thanks for looking into this in more detail. I'm sure the Vivaldi team has quite enough to work on without opening a whole new section of complicated code, but it would be nice if they get to it some day.

I don't have Chromium installed. Maybe I will install it and file a request with them.

Sort Commands for Mouse Gestures Alphabetically

When assigning mouse gestures to commands, it would be much easier to find commands if they were sorted alphabetically.

ryofurue

I'd like an "Open link here" mouse gesture that ignores the target attribute of the link.

We already have three "Open" actions in the context menu on a link:

Open Link in New Tab
Open Link in New Background Tab
Open Link

(1) and (2) have corresponding mouse gestures, but (3) doesn't.

ryofurue

I'd like a global option to ignore the target attribute of the link.

If this is implemented, I wouldn't need the "Open Link" action in the context menu or the "Open link here" mouse gesture I proposed above.

(I can see that some people like the target attribute and so I'm not saying the target attribute is bad. I'm just saying I'd want to ignore it.)
