10 ways to customize Vivaldi: our users speak

@yoandyvm96 , a VPN can only be fully efficient from the OS, never from a browser, since it must establish connections first, before the browser connects to the ISP's server, impossible if it works from the browser.
Apart from free VPNs they are always limited in the number of available servers, they usually have a monthly data limit or worse, logging and trafficking with user data or using the user's own bandwidth, instead of public servers. Servers cost money.
That is, browsers that have a built-in VPN have it more for advertising purposes than for other reasons. Brave has a VPN, but it is paid and belongs to another company, Opera VPN is not really a VPN, but a proxy on the Opera servers themselves. -
Hi. I use a VPN because there are many sites blocked for Cuba and using Windscribe just for Vivaldi solves the problem. What I need is to bypass region restricted websites and it works fine for me.

@yoandyvm96 , Widscribe is a good choice, but it's better to use the desktop app instead of an extension. I use Proton VPN free in ocassions, because it don't has a data limit like others.

Where should I start to do some modding (js and CSS)?
-
-
@DoctorG thanks.
I posted already some questions, but what I want to do is to be able to create my own mods.
I searched this forum and Vivaldi site and could not find any information related with that. The only thing I got is the suggestion to use Developer Tool to inspect the UI, but I would prefer to look into some documentation that could illustrate the different objects available to be modified. -

@Ayespy indeed you are right. I managed to activate Developer tools, and now I can "inspect" the UI. Thank you all.

Colors? rounded corners? Search engine nicknames? Custom start page?
Cosmetic crap!
How about some real and useful features - like the ability to edit a webpage source, not just view it, and ba able to save a website on a local drive...
Firefox has these, why can't Vivaldi? -

Are you saying that in Firefox you can edit the page source and save it - as in, it save to the live server so the web page is actually changed for the world to see?
If so, that would be totally irresponsible of Firefox to do that. Imagine the damage someone could do
But if not (and I seriously hope not), then I don't see the usefulness of editing source code right there in the browser. Better to simply copy & paste it into an editor where it can be worked on more efficiently. -
Firefox can save an entire website on your local drive? I'll have to look into that, 'cause that will save me from using software that I have for that.

As usual, there was no useful information as to how these things can be accomplished in Vivaldi.- In Firefox you can edit the web page but not save it back to the web, only for yourself, directly from the browser. In Vivaldi you can only view the source but it can be cut and pasted into an outside text editor for editing.
I want the Vivaldi source view to be editable. - Firefox has a "save page" icon to saves the entire URL to a folder in your hard drive.
WHY CAN'T VIVALDI DO THIS ???

Because it can't. Just the way it is, and I doubt this will be changed as the source viewer is Chromium base code.

Yes, and this is in Vivaldi at File menu, Save As... or right-click the page, Save As.
