Multiple Row Tabs
-
Tabs over multiple rows makes sense when using a monitor in vertical configuration, as there is plenty of vertical space, and the window panel can't be used due to lack of horizontal space:
It would prevent tabs getting too small to read titles, and might require a user-configurable minimum width.
This would also allow for readable titles without the need for scrolling (as I believe firefox implements it)
-
This has been implemented already in Vivaldi Hooks, which you can access and find more out about here. However, due to the way it works, you'll need to reinstall the hooks every time Vivaldi is updated. It's a small price to pay to have this, and quite a lot of other, new functionality.
-
@luckypotato I remember that, but VivaldiHooks' code hasn't been updated in quite a while, and I fear it would break Vivaldi If I tried to install it now.
-
@lonm As a matter of fact, I tried it on the latest beta and it did break it. I had to reinstall over the top but didn't lose anything, so that definitely looks like it needs more work!

I agree that it would be a huge benefit to Vivaldi users, especially those who have switched from Firefox 56 and earlier, to have multirow tabs. Those who routinely keep a lot of tabs open and would appreciate this feature tremendously. Being able to see multiple rows of tabs at once allows users to quickly find what they need among their open tabs.
Currently, tabs reduce their width to the point where it's hard to find pages you need. Grouping helps, but you still have to remember what's in your group and where it is.
Requested settings:
--- Select between Shrinking Tabs (current), Scrolling Tabs, and Multi-row Tabs
--- Hide the tab bar (Never, Unless hovering, When only one tab is open)
--- Position (Top/Bottom)
--- Minimum Tab Width
--- Max Number of Rows to Display
--- Allow Pinned Tabs to Scroll (yes/no)
--- Enable Smooth Scroll (yes/no)Something like this would be a start:
This feature was one part of the very popular TabMixPlus extension which was disabled by Firefox 57+ Quantum when they eliminated XUL functionality.
An example result would look something like:
Looking around online, some developers are working on an extension update and posted some temporary solutions here:

@joesilva loads and loads of options, I like it
-
Currently you can achieve multiline tabs using this CSS mod: https://github.com/justdanpo/VivaldiHooks/blob/master/vivaldi/hooks/multiline-tabs.css
But I think that this feature deserves to be built in to Vivaldi like it was in Opera until v15.
-
One more option is to allow to use multirow only when a particular number of tab is reached : so far with few of tabs, we can use thumbnailed tabs and for medium set of tabs, multirow tabs (with no thumbnail so).

But I think that this feature deserves to be built in to Vivaldi like it was in Opera until v15.Doesn't seem to work. The justdanpo's VivaldiHooks project is being reported to have ceased working as of Vivaldi release 1.1. Nice try - you really gave me high hopes on this. I'll begin using Vivaldi only when the multi-row tab feature is put into existence. Until then, sorry, Palemoon for me...
Oh, to Vivaldi developers: please allow the user to be part of the cookies veto-ing process. I do not want an all-or-nothing cookie enable process. Allow me to have a SAY dam it - by allowing or disabling cookies based on the domain name. Like it was in Opera, FireFox and Palemoon up to a certain version.

@smihaila ok, then try this mod https://gist.github.com/gorsash/0d4de703a84c620c7280830aba582758
It's my version of that mod where I also made pinned tabs to have normal width. I didn't post it at first because it's not pure multiline mod. It works for me in version 2.2.1388.37
-
How to install it? Just by copying it to "resources\vivaldi\user_files" and firing it via the status bar user menu? Thanks!

Just append contents of this gist to the end of the common.css file:
On Windows common.css is located at %localappdata%\Vivaldi\Application\VIVALDI_VERSION\resources\vivaldi\style\
(replace VIVALDI_VERSION with the currently installed Vivaldi version, for example - 2.2.1388.37).
-
My vivaldi (x64) install was having the "for all users" option enabled, so the "resources\vivaldi\style" subdir was quite easier to find (in C:\Program Files\Vivaldi).
I've tested your version of the mod, and it WORKS. Wow! There is some ray of hope after all with vivaldi
Any idea as to why the tabs color changes whenever I switch between them?
Thanks very much for suggesting this way of approaching the problem![P.S. Maybe we could also run
mc/ the Midnight Commander for the connoisseurs - inside the vivaldi browser context :-} Well, I'm only joking for now]

Perhaps this mod conflicts with the option to colorize tabs using site colors. I use the subtle theme with colorization turned off and there's no such issue

The 'subtle' theme does indeed seem to be stable. Without using any "colorization turned off" option (which I don't know what you're talking about / not sure where it is).
Thanks, great suggestions so far! Tomorrow I'll definitely install Vivaldi + this mod on my Mac laptop (I hate mac in general, but have to live with it at work
)
