Site-specific browser
-
Peppermint Linux opened my eyes to these things and it would be great if Vivaldi could integrate something like it. Maybe right-click a page -> "Make SSB"

@benjephunneh Click the badge in the URL field to set site-specific settings. Does do what you need?

I believe site-specific settings are unrelated. I've not found in the settings any option to create a SSB.

I'll explain, but I didn't explain for a couple reasons:
- I'm sure I couldn't explain as well as others (there is a Wikipedia entry for SSBs, for example)
- I find self-discovery to be more fruitful
So, a SSB is a browser window that is dedicated to a single page. For example, if you watch Netflix, you could create a SSB for that page, put a shortcut on your desktop for it, and open it just as you would a normal computer program. It's as if you've installed a Netflix program, but it's really just a dedicated browser window, hence the name "site-specific."
As another example, say you use Outlook.com for e-mail. No need to install an e-mail program such as Office, Evolution, etc. Create a SSB. It would be just another Vivaldi window, technically, but it's dedicated, just like a Web Panel.
I hope that helped.

Its work pretty in last Chrome versions:
For example, I use this feature for web.whatsapp.com, web.telegram.org, etc: https://i.imgur.com/1h3Fap9.png
It is very convenient and missing in Vivaldi.
p.s. In Vivaldi, this also works, but you have to manually create a shortcut with the --app argument - this is inconvenient! And the icons on the taskbar do not match the favicon of the site.
