Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14
-
Add Button for Tiling to Window Panel Toolbar
@Glitcher, The Status Bar button is for Tiling Tabs, not Stacking them. IMO it would be more useful to have the button on the Windows Panel Toolbar.
-
Integrate Developer Tools into side panel
I always need to close the side panel at first because of the screen width when opening the inspect window. So, would be both quicker and more elegant in the side panel. -
Allow for clearing of cookies at a set interval
Add a way to clear cookies for sites every hour, day, week, and month. This would make it so I do not have to go in manually every time I want to clear my cookies. -
@olgaa Change the color of the snapshot Vivaldi logo. I primarily use the snapshot to get access to the latest features that Vivaldi team offers, this may be a minor annoyance, but really, give me a dark red, a bright orange, or even a bright blue. Grey is just dull...

I need to have possibility to set different start pages on different synced Vivaldis.
I.e. :
I am using Vivaldi 1.14 with Sync (bookmarks are synchronized). There are two Speed Dial folders.
It should be possible to set Speeddial1 to start page on PC1 and speeddial2 to start page on PC2 -
Being able to see content from different accounts in the same window, i.e. private panes, would be extremely useful and would almost certainly enhance Vivaldi's recognition as a unique browser.
From a user perspective, it doesn't make sense that windows, tabs, panes, and profiles can't be organized in any way the user wants them.
Basically, I think each tab should be assigned to a particular profile, not the other way around (each profile owns a set of tabs).
I get that Chromium dictates a lot of capabilities but from a user perspective, it's logical to be able to do this. Pretty much the only complications for the user are:
- How to clearly identify the profile and address per tab (and pane)? I propose that the profile name be added to the address bar as a dropdown (which would allow for easily switching panes/tabs between profiles).
- How to handle extensions and bookmarks? I propose that these controls, including address bar, be moved into the tab window but shared across all profile tabs/panes. It'll require a redesign/rethinking of these controls but I think it's possible with a little creativity.
From a development perspective, obviously, this probably requires some sort of client-server architecture (i.e. X?) so that only the views are presented in a shared client-view while process isolation is maintained by servers?

Shortcut for Hibernate Background Tabs
A shortcut for this option, currently only available in the right click menu, that can be tied to a gesture, or keyboard shortcut. -
Set focus to the next text field within a webpage, if that was possible, it would make keyboard navigation revolutionary.
-
Please add a hover ability to bookmark folders in the Bookmarks Bar. Firefox has this capability. Basically, if I click to open a folder dropdown, moving my mouse over another folder should then open that folder instead. It saves a click for those times I might click the wrong folder.
-
Ability to drag a Tinyurl link to the toolbar, as I can in Firefox and Opera. If there is a way to do so, I could not find it.
-
Ability to rename (right-click) and drag bookmark to any other folder or re-order in current folder from the bookmarks bar, currently right-clicking a bookmark launches it and you can't drag any bookmark that is inside a folder, only top-level bookmarks.
-
Vivaldi Mail Alias/Subaddress Blocked
I love the possibility of using sub-addresses (aliases) with Vivaldi mail. However, I noticed that many website forms do not accept the "+" character in an email address. Is there a chance the "+" character could be substituted for the "." character to make it more compliant and functional?
So instead of an address [email protected] it would be [email protected]
I understand this is not really a Vivaldi problem, the "+" character is an allowed character in email addresses but still many website developers filter it out and that makes the address unusable.
-
Page Information Panel
As in Opera 12.18, show the current page's information in a panel: size, inline elements, encoding, meta information, style sheets, and scripts.
-
Slower (and/or adjustable) scrolling in bookmarks panel and bookmarks manager
Currently, it is too fast. Scrolling the mouse wheel one notch scrolls 12 lines (to the best of my counting). The same action scrolls 1 line in Firefox.
-
I just saw an article that the new Opera will be including an Anti-Javascript Cryptocurrency Mining feature. I think it would be great if Vivaldi could do the same.

Automatic form filler with pre-set information like opera, instead of remembering how previous forms have been filled like internet explorer
-
Ability to right-click auto-translate webpage directly within the tab as you can with Chrome. Extensions that have been previously suggested in another thread do not work on private websites/websites that require logging in.
-
Option to disable "scrolling with space bar".
This "feature" is extremely annoying in every browser, if you don't wan’t to use it. There are so many keys for scrolling... -
Move current tab left/right with keyboard
It would be nice to be able to move the current tab left/right with the keyboard (instead of using drag-and-drop via the mouse). In many browsers, Ctrl-Shift-PgUp/PgDn is used for this. -
Pinned tabs by design should always stay to the leftmost of the other tabs
However, when dragging and dropping tabs from one window to another, the pinned tabs will slide out of the way, offering to let you drop the tab to the left of them. If you actually drop the tab to the left of a pinned tab, the dropped tab will slide to the right of the pinned tabs. However, it would be better if the pinned tabs never slid over to offer a space in the window to begin with.
