Open links from web panel to the current tab web area
It should be an option for new browsering way I think : when you open a page in a web panel, its links clicked, open into the same web panel, losing in the same time the first page opened ; preferably an option with on/off icon beside web panel title, should make link click to open the link not in the panel web page but in the current tab. In this way, you can easily see a list of links from the web panel page (like search result page from youtube, every search engine, or simply page with a lot of interesting links like wikipedia page) ; it would reduce the need of tab opening (and so the management of a lot of tabs) -
Pop-up menu for select text like opera

Several specific startpage/new tab urls with showing policy
Now only one custom page url can be entered for start page or new tab page. I think interesting to add several ones. A customisable policy should select each one : this policy could select one after one, or according to a time lap, or according to each browser start, or randomly... This solution allows to follow famous pages, and could be the way to see various image-a-day sites like these from nasa, or interfacelift.com which are enriched image background solution for instance.

Extension Manager in new tab speed-dial and side panel
-
Tab locking/protecting to prevent accidental closure without pinning to the left or iconizing.
Useful for extended work or while typing long texts. May be replace the close X with a lock icon.
-
Allow bookmark wildcards with %s variable in URL field like in Firefox.
Behaves like a regular search engine, virtually allowing managing, organizing, and exporting search engines right along bookmarks.
-
Speed-dial: being able to change url of entries ( currently it can only be changed in bookmark manager)
-
Proper bookmark export/backup to bookmarks.html keeping complete data like nicknames, comments, descriptions and other fields intact.
Preferably in a Mozilla compatible format for easy interchange, like using the using the
SHORTCUTURL="**"
property for nicknames. -
open multiple links if more than one link is selected
(if more than one link is selected, the context menu should contain an additional option to "open all links in tabs")
-
IRC client (like in O12, including log files, pls)
-
Built-In RSS Reader / Subscriber

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 -
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 "open a link in a new window". -
Keyboard shortcut for copying the URL from the address bar.
Especially useful if you're a user who likes to have the address bar hidden.

adjustable scroll speed when scrolling with mouse wheel
(O12 had this in an .ini) -
Expose theme variables to extensions/webpages
Would allow for themeing of page userstyles and extensions to match the browser's theme. -
Customisable Toolbars
-
Make link hover status info appear next to mouse
If i'm hovering over a link I would like to be given immediate feedback of what it is I'm about to click. It would be nice to have the option of making this appear next to the mouse cursor rather than in a ticker at the bottom of the page. -
Show extended connection info in status bar

Built in support for userstyles
Add functionality such as that offered by the "stylish", and similar, extensions. Allow custom stylesheets to be injected to certain webpages.
