Auto Detect Logos + Select Part of the Page for Speed Dial and Bookmark Thumbnails

[JohnnyM]

@Eggcorn thanks for the Answer. Yes of course it's not possible to implement all features. But this feature is very important for a lot of people, so I could not understand why other features find a way into Vivaldi. Well but this is not my decission, so I will go on with hoping for this feature.
Have a nice Day!

Decision-making Process

Please watch Jón’s Response to my Question on this topic.

@Pesala ah ok, didn't know about that. Then I'am now even more excited what the future will bring to Vivaldi.

[eSpiirit]

This feature would be a game changer!!! Vivaldi team plsss implement this

[waleedskhan2007]

Yes, it is a great feature.

[Hotery]

Its so disappointing to find out that so feature-rich browser cant replace chrome/chromium-based & firefox extension DVD Speed Dual.

This is crazy that they are not adding this, such a basic feature but imo really important, we need logo in speed dial.
For example I have 100 of speed dials it looks like a mess with whole page thumbnail.

[Pesala]

@Stormscion Although it is a popular feature request, I guess it would take a lot of work.

There are a few workarounds, like custom thumbnail packs.

+1000

the Opera-like solution that generates thumbnails out of sites images is the best imo - (fav)icons don't make much sense if you use many bookmarks from one site.

And I really beg u to implement it because right now speed dial is unusable for me.

I'm curious that the vast majority of my Vivaldi Speed Dials apparently pull the logo from the website and place it in the title (see Amazon example attached).....so why couldn't it be set to automatically place that logo in the thumbnail by default? Since it's already placing it in the title, it doesn't seem like a giant leap to get it in the thumbnail. For me, that would make the Speed Dial just about perfect.

Probably because they're using the favicon which is very small and would look very bad if it gets stretched to the size of a thumbnail.

Thumbnails on speed dial all look pretty much the same and render this cool function useless. I am not about to go searching for logos, downloading them, resizing to fit the box, etc., so I just don't use speed dial. Its a shame because it is a cool feature. Is it so hard for vivaldi to simply pull the site's favicon and stick it in the speed dial box?

Please, Do it!

This is an important feature, get this live asap. how much more time is required for this feature to be live or how many more votes u guys need for this feature to be approved.
This can be a game changer.

[Ouros]

I hope they add something like this, it would be awesome!

This is the one missing thing that keeps me from switching from Opera.

@Murxx
Hi, can you check if "Fetch Bookmark Data...." is enabled in Settings > Bookmarks?
If this is enabled you get suitable icons for many pages like Youtube, NTV and so forth.
Iirc if a page not work it does not work in Opera either.

@mib2berlin

This feature is enabled and my speed dial still looks like this

@ggwp
Hi, I have no idea why this not work for some user, I add a YT bookmark to speed dial and it looks like this:

How do you add the bookmark?

[ggwp]

@mib3berlin I used the + button on the speed dial...
