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.

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.

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.

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...
