Feature requests for 1.13
-
Bookmarks button
This is available as a mod already.
-
Option to move status bar settings to side panel bar
It would free up more space for the website.
This request already got many votes for version 1.12.
-
Bookmarks window (vivaldi://bookmarks/) with thumbnails mode like in Speed Dial.
Bookmarks already have downloaded thumbnails, so thumbnails mode would be perfect addition. -
An option to show search/copy pop-up when selecting text

FEATURE REQUEST: Persistent bookmark bar folder pop-up menu
Didn't know how to call it :), but here is what I mean:
Currently in the bookmark bar folder pop-up menu of vivaldi, everytime you click on any of the links the pop-up menu closes. My request is, when I ctrl+click to open a link in a new background tab, the pop-up should remain open, so I can open several links in a row...
I use that a lot, because I have folders in there for several different tasks.
Also when I right click on one of those links it should give the default right click options of vivaldi related to links...I made an example:
Also, every other chromium browser behaves like this... It really speedup things.. so why not vivaldi?
Thanks.

FEATURE REQUEST: CPU and RAM Optimizations
The cpu usage in vivaldi is a little high compared to other browsers, it's most noticeable when playing videos....
Also it eats a lot of RAM memory, even with just a few tabs open (e.g less than 10)... I find myself losing tabs very quickly, If I have a good amount of tabs open, the ones opened first will die pretty quick, and when I try to open one of those tabs it will load the page from scratch, which is bad, because most of my tabs gives me desktop notifications and when they die I got nothing....
In Opera for example I can let tabs stay there idle for a while but the page almost never die, desktop notifications and stuff always work, not reload from scratch... -
FEATURE REQUEST: Drag text to the tab bar area (or even on the same tab) to search
When done so, it should open a new tab and do a search with my current selected search engine. Every Chromium browser variant I tried has this feature but Vivaldi.
Example:
Very handy, I use it all the time...
Actually that's the main feature I'm waiting to fully jump into Vivaldi... -

Desired Behaviour:
-
Hide UI per Window
Currently, you can have a per-window fullscreen. However if you choose to hide the UI this is global across all windows, which is sometimes not desirable
-
More chrome-like window creation by tab dragging.

Method of allowing custom UI styles across upgrades
Currently if a user has a custom stylesheet for the browser ui they have to do some sort of hacky installation by modifying the browser.html file. This is lost when the browser is upgraded to a new version. It would be nice if there was some way to store custom styles in a setting that is persistent when the browser is upgraded.
I understand this might get broken if some of the ui names change on a particular upgrade, so this kind of setting might not need to be visible within the browser settings tab itself, maybe just as a file in the user dir that way if something is broken it can easily be disabled.

Ability to drag tabs between private windows.

Open New Window (over a link) Mouse Gesture
Currently the "New tab" and "new background tab" have "over a link" variants. But no such variant exists for a new window. Ideally this would have the same functionality as the context menu option "open link in new window".

Support for Speed Dial Thumbnail Packs
Currently, if a user wants to share icons with someone else, they have to upload a zip, and then a user has to manually specify the thumbnails for each and every dial. I would find it more interesting if there was some way of "applying" a speed dial thumbnail pack.
E.g. It's a zip folder, and the thumbnails are named like "vivaldi.net.png" or something similar. Then, when the zip folder is "applied", the speed dial thumbs are automatically set with the associated image.
