Open Subsequent Folders on Bookmarks Bar with Hover [DONE]
-
After left-click on a folder on the bookmarks bar open other folders just by hovering them.
Edit: The way it works now is even more annoying on linux distributions, where, after you open a folder, you have to click once to close the open folder and click again to open another.

Very much +1!
This would be a very comfortable feature, and also the way Firefox and Chrome handle it. I believe it's part of the UX guidelines for both Windows and macOS; all menus in applications using native UI frameworks behave that way (for example, compare to the system menu on Mac). It would lead to a more consistent user experience if Vivaldi handled it the same way.
As another argument, it would also make things more consistent within Vivaldi itself, since in an opened toolbar folder, the subfolders already behave that way.

Trying Vivaldi. Otherwise seems good, but is this standard hover feature from Firefox and Chrome still not implemented, or am I missing some setting?

@julaak You're missing the fact that the Bookmarks Bar has been buggy ever since it was introduced. It did not come for free. The Vivaldi Team had to write the code for it. Fixing it would take more work than can be justified at the moment.
If you use the Bookmarks Menu, you won't have this problem.

In this topic said, that i can to inform about longstanding issues. So, I bring it up )

@CK13 Opera used to have this same thing (does it still?). I don't know that it's a problem with coding. It seems deliberate. Like there's someone there who thinks it should be this way. But it'd be nice to have the option to do what the OP is suggesting. For people who are used to that, it makes navigating quicker.

I just hope this gets fixed asap. It's the first thing new users will notice as a bad thing if they use a bookmark bar. (@quinantens I have all browsers installed. Beta and Dev versions.. Opera beta and dev both have a normally working bookmark folders).
Now with new Edge(chromium version, also it's already best of normal chromium browsers, like better than firefox, chrome, chromium and opera) coming out and it's possible quite few people are in a progress of switching browsers in a bit and otherwise I can say Vivaldi looks outstanding as competitions go. It's just Edge tries to integrate with the OS so if our bookmark bar system isn't working the same as it works in other browsers and in the OS it's quite bad when people first try while trying on new browsers.

Yeah, using bookmarks in Vivaldi right now is by far not as convenient as it is in Firefox. Implementing this feature would be a big step forward.
-
When we can have the Opera greatest behavior with bookmark bar? It is, with a single click, all folders inside a bookmark bar are opened instantly when the mouse passes over it... another great thing is that you can open more than one link in a folder with middle click without closing that dropdown of links.

It's an old bug that has not been fixed yet.. That's the reason why I don't use Vivaldi.
-
This has been fixed for some time now.
-
@torkaaa It's been fixed for a long time.
-
@Ayespy So, why isn't it tagged as DONE yet?
-
@Pesala I suppose, because I do not hang out in the features category, and am not in the habit. But now it is.
