@luetage I second that! In addition, Official method to restore the saved customizations piece by piece.
This would be extremely useful, as I have to erase my user profile from time to time (say, once in half a year) to solve an obscure problem.
A long-time user would have noticed that when an obscure problem hits a user, she or he asks a question about it here in the forum and often the suggestion given by other seasoned users is to delete the user profile or disable add-ons or both---that does often solve the problem.
But, because of the lack of an easy facility to restore my customizations piece by piece, I just start over from a fresh profile. For this reason, I'm very reluctant to customize Vivaldi and this deprives Vivaldi of half its charm!

Profile BackUp
As said, the backup for Sessions and Custom Tweaks, would be nice an option to auto back up the profile to "My Documents".
At least for the most important data, some of it could be dispensable but the enough to run again in a System partition problem and to do not spend too much time doing the back up.
If I'm not wrong, some systems starts with the user documents on another partition, otherwise would be configured or asked at the very first time.
If not,

Help article / SpeedDial bookmark to do a Profile BackUp
A Help article with the warning and the steps to do a Profile BackUp.
Current article Help > Full reset of Vivaldi would
be revised to add the Copy/Rename folder - and any other needed data - and tobe used as a SpeedDial bookmark- or a new one specified for that -.Not necessary to say that will prevent many problems.

Option: Do not keep opened files in private windows
While in a private window, if you select "open" in the save dialog I want it to 1) open the file and delete it after it has run or 2) deletes the file once you exit the private window. 1) seems preferable, but I don't know which is the best option.

specify multiple parameters for search engines
The use case for me would be:
Type in to address bar "
train liverpool 1600"I would have a search engine set up with nickname "train" and location:
http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/MCO/%s{1}/today/%s{2}/dep(%s{0} would be "train", %s would contain all arguments still)Vivaldi would be lovely and take me to
http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/MCO/liverpool/today/1600/dep(afterthought: you'd need to allow defaults for those parameters somehow, ie so that it gracefully handled cases where someone typed "
train liverpool" -
Ability to combine domain and keyword filter in vivaldi://history
The Vivaldi "advanced" history is a powerful tool, and yet I use it very rarely. I think it misses a "simple" functionality to be genuinely useful in real life.
Currently, it looks nice and cool, and is efficient to check our browsing habits. However, I don't think it is a real help to look for something (meaning we can do it otherwise):
- If I only need a simple keyword research, I can use the history panel.
- If I need to filter the dates, 90% of the time the history panel is enough again (using the "last XX days" filter)
However, if the search is complex (ie the usecase when History tab should be useful), I want to be able to progress step by step: I remember it was that day, then this website, then this keyword, and so on...
The 2 ways I see to implement it (it may be done otherwise):
- Either: do not use the search field to filter by domain. Limit the search field to keywords, and use an other field or item to filter the domains.
- Or: Allow multiple words in the search field, connected by OR or AND logical syntax (or "|", "&", ...)

Option to Lock/Protect pinned tabs.
I am tired of finding that some site that I had pinned is now a multitude of links in the past because I didn't remember to open a new tab to launch an entered url. We need a way to protect tabbed sites from drifting away to other sites.
An option to force entered url's or clicked links to open in new tabs.
In fact, this would be a valuable option for all links. Force them to open in new tabs.
I know it is my fault for not taking the time to open a new tab or not using some special mouse gesture or key combination. Sorry, I had been using a browser for years that didn't have this issue. I am now trained to expect tabs to automatically behave the way I want them to. -

Option to close tab by using history back command?
When clicking a link that opens in a new tab, it would be nice that you can use the History Back command to close this tab and go back to the previous tab with the link you clicked.
Now the history back command does nothing in a freshly opened tab, why not use it? -
Hi
Is it possible to create tab thumbnails based on screen size?
Since tab thumbnails seems to be approximately 4x3 while screens are now all at least 16x9, thumbnails cannot show some contents, mostly in screen width.
It will be great if thumbnails could show all contents in page width.Best wishes

prominent notification that a download has started
I have the setting set so that the side bar does not pop out when a download starts and I get notification when it's finished. But, it is very easy to miss the minute download bar actually changing when a download has started. Sometimes, I'm not sure anything is going on, so I need to open the sidebar to verify the download has started.
Could a small pop-up notification be shown when a download starts please. or the side bar opens then closes itself again.
