Usability comparsion of the old opera and top browsers of today is here - http://habrahabr.ru/post/223065/ (unfortunately only in russian but that is top notch discussion for your developers)
If you release browser with all of the old tweaks - all old-opera fans (there is a lot of us) will change to your browser.

And Opera Dragonfly (as feature and as usability of feature) was way better then today TOP browser's features

Thx

Could you possibly consider allowing 3-character usernames? I miss my old "pgl" account.

I would like to be able to relocate the navigation buttons to the bottom of the browser, in the same way as it is possible to move the tabs to the bottom under Settings/Appearance. I m testing Vivaldi on a 7 inch windows 8 tablet, and it would be nice to have the navigation at the bottom.

I would like to suggest some possible feature for Vivaldi:

[ul]

Implementation of Opera Dragonfly as developer tool
A robust tool for importing notes and bookmarks from old Opera 12.x
A portable Version of software (without using absolute path)
[/ul]

P.S. the forum css is not considering the bbcode/html code (I put the suggestions list in a UL list but is not rendering)

It would be nice to have a stronger line separating tabs. They kind of get lost in each other.

Another nice thing to have would be a darker theme, maybe something a user can choose. But, function comes before form, so it is not that important. I'm just not a fan of bright.

Nice work, thank you!

Some suggestions:
[OL]

- Make a centralized list of suggestions so users can opt in/out for each of them. A kind of Community Designed Browser
Keep browser small. On my Win7/32, just after start:
[OL]
- K-Meleon (Gecko): 45.000 K
SlimBoat (WebKit): 60.000 K
Vivaldi: 258.000 K (75.000 + 80.000 + 71.000 + 32.000)
[/OL]
Add bookmarks also in main menu
In Bookmarks Panel, popup menu->Open: ask before opening folder (try to open a folder with over 70 links)
Don't empty trash at exit, make it persistent
Site preferences like Opera 12 plus link blocker
"Block site/domain" option: do not open pages from specified site/domain and remove it from search results
Customizable context menu
Line bookmarks for web pages, useful for long pages
Detached download manager: allow browser to close while keeping downloads active
Don't bloat the browser with third party services (Facebook, Skipe, etc…). If needed, make them available via extensions
Same about Mail and News, make them external
Do not use separate "update service" as Google, Opera does
[/OL]

I'm impressed by how stable and polished is the tech preview.
Keep up the good work!

Here is my feature wishlist (not sure is some of these are already there and I missed them so… sorry if I did ):

Keyboard shortcuts to alter the zoom level of the current page (REALLY miss these! using the zoom slider it's not easy at all to achieve the desired zoom level since the slider is so small).
Option to automatically switch to a page when opened in a new tab.
Option to let me configure the downloaded files folder.
Option to let me choose a fixed color scheme for the interface.
Show download speed in real time for each download.
Java plugin to use the latest JRE (unluckily, bank websites and such do require this to always be up-to-date).

Hope to see these features in the final version.

Thanks!

Shortcuts to complete domain entry by filling in TLD with .com, .net, .org, etc.

Type a word in address bar > ctrl+enter (wraps word in "http://"(word)".com" and immediately requests the URL)
ctrl+alt+enter = same as above but opens in a new tab

shift+enter = .net
shift+alt+enter = .net open in new tab
ctrl+shift+enter = .org
ctrl+shift+alt+enter = .org open in new tab

I vote for Rocker Gestures which makes my browsing MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE in Opera 12!

Wouldn't mind the following opera like wand, clear history. cookies on exit and being able to set your own homepage as yet you can try but it reverts back.

Hello, I would like to suggest READER MODE feature, which we know from Maxthon browser.

Reader mode allows you to view articles by adjusting font sizes and removing ads, UI design elements and other distractions.

How it works?
If you visit some page with text content (example), a small button which lets you to apply the Reader mode appears in the address panel. You can also set the font size, content width, background color and whether the reader mode should be automatically activated for that page.

Thank you for Vivald! I love Opera 12, and I hate what they did with 15 onwards! Opera was the perfect browser for thsoe who didn't want to go Chrome, and then they went Chrome themselves! Go figure…

Anyways, there are a few things I'd like you to change and add. First, the appearance. I'd like to be able to change the color of the browser freely - just give us a color palette to choose from and we're good (I don't like how it's red). Second, the panel on the right corner and its elements. I like having everything on top, so I'd like an option to put that bar horizontally instead, but the best part would be able to put it's buttons on the same row as the URL and Search bars. Of course, always letting people choose what they want to put and where.

I also like to have that space above the tabs bar like old browsers used to have. I don't know how it's called, but it's that space where the name of the program and the name of the site you're visiting is shown above the tabs. Also, being able to close tabs with SHIFT+Click.

Aside from that, just make it work like Opera 12 did and I'll be the happiest user on your forum! I currently am not using Vivald as my default browser because I still need extensions (Adblock, and Youtube Center), but as Vivald gets better I'll be shifitting to it! Thanks for your initiative, and I hope to see good results in the future!
