Feature requests for 1.12

vivaldi://experiments

I do not see this in the vivaldi://experiments section. All I see is 3 options.

EDIT: Oh nevermind it is in vivaldi snapshots.

Ayespy

@Goddard You must be using the Stable version. This Experiment is only present in the Snapshots channel

irenicus

@Ayespy It looks like this works, but not exactly the same functionality. No previews or close button, but I guess keyboard shortcuts do wonders in that situation. Also you have to double click to change to the other tab. Slightly more effort, but no big deal.

Ayespy

@irenicus Yeah. It's substantially unfinished. Too early to evaluate it, I think.

Steffie

@Steffie Ha! I've just realised that because i have the <<experimental>> Windows Panel enabled, & because it supports dragging & dropping tabs [including within stacks], i can now remove yet another of my very long-term extensions... TabsPane.

Though it broke early in V's life [stopped displaying tab thumbnails, which was kinda sorta its raison d'etre (still works fine in all other chromium-based browsers, so i do accept that this breakage is due to V's unique design)], i nevertheless retained TP in V coz it provided a convenient way to manually rearrange tabs within my tab-stacks [including my pinned tab-stacks]. However now that i have the Windows Panel, & that i can drag & drop within it, TP has no further excuse to linger on in my V.

Another one bites the dust - yay.

never use tabs, open each new site in a new window

Ah, dem dar good ole days of Mosaic, Netscape, WebExplorer, IE 1 et al, before tabbed browsers came along. Nope, i never want to go back there! I am simply amazed that you prefer that. Euw.

@Steffie I would have continued to prefer new windows myself, but the slowness of new windows creation in Vivaldi forced me to learn to use tabs in one day. I still am not a tab hoarder like many, when a temp tab has done its job, I close the tab, keeping always max 2-3 tabs open.

I'd like the option to shrink pinned tabs in Vertical Tabbar. In Horizontal mode, pinned tabs get shrunken to the favicon size. In Vertical mod there is no way to tell pinned tabs from normal ones. TreeStyleTabs did this great (picture attached)

domsch1988

A second one:
Option to have the automatic color for tabs on all tabs, not just the current one.

I like that vivaldi automatically chooses a color for a tab. I'd like to have this always on in the tabbar. This would make finding specific tabs much faster. Maybe they could be less saturated to still highlight the current tab.

Steffie

@iAN-CooG Well, that's anathema to me, but i'd simply remark that this is yet another area in which diverse user preferences apparently exist. Thank goodness for a browser that respects user choice, & continues to energetically strive to meet all our diverse needs.

would like to be able to refresh all tabs in a tab stack by right clicking the tab stack and selecting "Refresh Tabs" or something similar.

Purgator

Search in page <CTRL-F> / <F3> : findbar is an overlay (it's displayed in front of the page)

Interesting for people that come from Firefox with Findbar Tweak : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/

Purgator

Search in page <CTRL-F> / <F3> : - Ctrl+F (Command+F on Mac) toggles the FindBar (close it too)
-- Optionally only close it if the FindBar already has focus; otherwise it will move focus to the FindBar instead of closing it, and will fill it with the selected text again (if that preference is enabled)

Purgator

Search in page <CTRL-F> / <F3> : - Enable/Disable "QuickFind" so you can search for text immediately by typing anywhere in the webpage

Purgator

Search in page <CTRL-F> / <F3> : Keep highlight when closing findbar. Remove highlight by pressing <ESC>

Purgator

Search in page <CTRL-F> / <F3> : - Selecting text on a webpage immediately copies the selected text to the findbar and searches for it (optional of course)

Marko Indaco

@mtumishi_burika this is a good idea. Something similiar could be the autorefresh option for every single tab (like in old Opera)

meymigrou

Give us the option to update all thumbnails on speed-dial with one click. I have too many saved sites that I can't update one by one.

mtumishi_burika

@Marko-Indaco thank you. that is the hope, that the developers implement this feature among other ones like autorefresh after a specified period.

sdgreene

@hondac Maybe call it a Sterile Window to indicate that it's fresh and clean, with no traces leftover.
