Option to Periodically Destroy the Link between Related Tabs
-
Can you please add an option to set an interval on which the browser will self destroy the link that keeps tabs linked. The idea is to add a way to get the New Tab behavior. This should allow more people to easily migrate to Vivaldi.

@kakato10 I don't understand why anyone would need this. Just start a new tab if you want to discard the history of the current tab.

I've got New Tab Position set to After Related Tabs. Let's say I have 5 related tabs opened 5 hours ago. If I open a new tab I'll expect it to open right next to the current as I've most likely forgotten that I have 4 other related tabs.

I also think this is necessary. Perhaps this thread explains it better, but basically what this request means and what I would like to have is the equivalent of the "Open other tabs next to current one - Change opening order" setting on Firefox with TabMixPlus.
Say I have the tabs [a][b][c][d]; [b] and [c] was opened from [a] five minutes (or an hour) ago, so they are related, but I did other things and changed tabs after that. Now if I open new tabs from [a] in succession, I would get the following on Firefox:
[a][1][2][3][b][c][d]
With Vivaldi's default option ("After related tabs"), however, I get the following:
[a][b][c][1][2][3][d]
I find this unintuitive because in my mind [a], [b], [c] are no longer related; I don't remember which tab was opened from what previously, and there isn't any visual indication that they are grouped this way either. When I open a new tab from [a], I expect it to be next to it, so I can Ctrl+Tab to it immediately. But with the default behavior, not only it is not next to it, but I have no idea where it will end up and how many times I will have to Ctrl+Tab to reach it. Will it open after [a]? After [b]? After [c]? Were they related? Who knows?
To imitate TabMixPlus's option, I just select the "After Active Tab" option, and click on them in the reverse order ([3],[2],[1]) to open them in the actual order I want. This is what I did on old Opera as well, however, I wish there was on option to replicate TabMixPlus's behavior on Vivaldi. I think that would be much more intuitive than the current implementation of "After related tabs". And if that option will be retained as is, I think some visual indication is necessary; e.g. I think Internet Explorer used to color tabs to indicate that they are related. In its current form, it just leads to unpredictable and confusing behavior: it is hard to guess where the new tab will end up.
