@GBB Sorry, I'm not quite following. Use what exactly? What is that photo of? Thanks for the help.

@Regnas Opera does that. It would be good.

Allowing to drop links wherever in the tab area to open it

When you have a page opened in another browser and you want to open it in Vivaldi, it would be surely easier to drag-and-drop with the mouse the page/link from the other browser to Vivaldi. Currently it does only if you drop the link in a already opened tab which reloads it with the new link and loses the last page or if you precisely locate your mouse on the tiny new tab plus icon. Please make the way to drop also wherever else on the tab area, specialy when you use thumbnail tab.

Allow the web panels to be zoomed. They're a great idea, but are totally useless to me because the fonts are massive.

@Seasonly Yeah, it is an awesome feature! And low visibility is actually explains a lot: I do insist that it is broken for the last half a year (it clashes with "switch tabs with scroll while hovering over tab bar" which is pretty annoying when you have large list of side tabs), but nobody cares, because, apparently, not a lot of people know about it. It's, like, literally, one of the main features because of which I switched to Vivaldi, but I had to disable it lately because of this annoyance!

@kk3311 said in Feature requests for 1.12:

Quick Closing Tabs by SHIFT+CLICK on tab (left mouse click) - much needed feature

Available in classic and today's Opera browsers

Super useful for DE-CLUTTERING tabs quickly

Takes single click (vs double clicks) to effectively close out even when there are many, many "tiny" Tabs opened

Quicker than Pointing accurately on "x" button to close out the Tab

Quicker and more intuitive than Ctrl+W

Try to use middle mouse button.

@gaelle

Let's get serious with discussion about features and replace this unreadable mess with some real (could be simple) voting system...

PLEASE

@LonM Then it also starts switching tabs when I try to scroll tab bar (instead of, you know, scrolling tab bar).

Fix tab switching by RMB+scroll.

Right now if you enable "Switch Tabs by Scrolling" it starts switching tabs by both RMB+scroll and scrolling the tab bar. Which is super-annoying (I would really like to still be able to scroll the tab bar without this annoying tab switching)!
And if you disable this option, you can't switch tabs by RMB+scroll.

I've seen people on the forum that actually would like to switch tabs by scrolling on tab bar. Ok, it's their choice. But it's hard for me to imagine a situation where anyone would be opposed to having the ability to switch tabs by RMB+scroll (like, for what else would you use this shortcut? If you don't like it – just not use it.)
So I propose that tabs can always be switched by RMB+scroll, and the settings option only affects the "scroll while hovering over tab bar").

I would love a feature to manage your tab-stacks no only in "visual" mode. This would be very helpful for people like me (with +100 tabs open) and they are mostly organized in stacks. The way to move a tab into a stack is very inefficient in this visual mode - it often fails. A simple "drag n' drop" in a menu would make Vivaldi even better.

Please fix how some sites like Facebook Messenger and Hangouts redirect to their mobile versions or redirect you to the Play Store in web panels

BETTER MODDING

That fixes everything. Then provide an easy way to manage & share mods. Then grow grow grow. Everybody happy.

LonM

@Birch-Tree By default it will try to show you a mobile-friendly version, which often results in requests to use an app instead.

Have you made triedto right-click the panel icon and select "show desktop version"?

If that still doesn't work, then this seems like more of an issue with the sites themselves (facebook or hangouts) than it does vivaldi.

mattea

@CheVe11e_191 yeah, you did. I upvoted both, just in case

My updated wishlist:

In Settings -> Downloads, have a Browse button to select the default download location instead of just typing in a path (seriously, it's been a couple of years now and this is still not a thing yet?)
Downloads show download speed
Video/plugin click-to-play option for HTML 5
Javascript options/controls like Opera 12 did (such as preventing a site from hiding status bar or address bar or disabling right click)
Confirm exit if downloads are still running in background
Editable right-click menu for links. When I right-click on a link to open it in a new tab I prefer to open them in the background but the current menu has that option listed 2nd whereas I'd rather have it be the first option like most other browsers do. Since different people have different tastes it would be nice to be able to edit that menu to re-arrange the options.
Better tab drop-and-drag. It's nice that this feature has been implemented, but the way the windows blink/disappear then reappear is not ideal. I'd rather see the drop and drag happen much more seamlessly like how Chrome and Firefox's tabs work.
Better next tab activation on tab close. It's hard to put into words how to describe this, but I like the way Chrome is able to intelligently move to the next related tab or previously viewed tab when you close a current tab. I've messed with Vivaldi's various tab activation settings but I just can't seem to get it to mimic what Chrome does.

Edit: I got a deeplink for page ## and did not see the 1st post, sorry. I'll split this into multiple posts.

@Tuexss It's a bit hard to find pictures, but I did find some here and here. And then there's the issue with using Windows vs other OS's like Linux or Mac, as can be seen here.

Chrome's fonts are just very thin, weak and jagged compared to Firefox, Edge, Safari, and the old Opera 12(which used the Presto engine).

The best way to be see the difference is by using the said browsers above and comparing them to Vivaldi. If you're on Windows and you decide to use another OS like Linux or Mac, the difference will be even bigger, as those OS's have far better font rendering to Windows. The combination of Chrome and Windows makes for poor font rendering.

Resumable downloads

I miss an ability to resume download if the connection was dropped from a point it stopped. Currently every time a download is broken it starts from a beginning.
