Are there any Vivaldi developers reading this!

Any Vivaldi developers here reading this? If so, please pass this to your management 'cos obviously we mortals are not allowed to do so!
I couldn't send a simple online webform through your support page! This gives me enough of clues what Vivaldi's evolving to but I'll keep calm for a few days before I move to Maxthon browser!
"Hi,
I realised that in this version of my Vivaldi Browser I am not any more authorized to save a copy of a webpage unless I choose to save either "all of the webpage" or "HTML only."But before, in good old days, I thought Vivaldi was supposed to be "a browser for the pros". What changed on that? Why can't I save a "1 page copy" anymore.
Opera tried to adapt itself to Chrome (Now, to me it's an unsuccessful browser in every aspect. Therefore, that action caused Vivaldi to born. Somehow it happened kinda like this, right?) Why are you willingly making the same mistakes that they did!?
I am pretty sure if I dug into the settings I could find a way to do as I wish, but then there will be another, and another, and another. But hey! Isn't it always more tempting to send an email to the developers and how successful they are at spoiling another good browser. Yeah it's so true! In your corp HQ, you are messing up an "almost good enough" browser into a nonsense browser.
Note what? I waited sync option for so long that I was "almost fed up" with Vivaldi too. Now that from where I stand I foresee that, very soon the only useful option of yours will be the F2 menu. What will you do then? You are losing old loyal "Opera users"! Who will use you! Android users, Windows users, who? I tell you the answer today; noone!
Like many others, I kept the v.12 of Opera on my HDDs just in case we need a good browser someday (just like I kept Google's Picasa, 'cos there wasn't any better, faster, etc!) FYI, I still actively use Picasa on my PC and I still keep both versions of old Opera and Vivaldi (regular setup) on my PC.
I know that 1 user will not affect your future plans.
As a loyal Vivaldi user since its first debut, I need more Opera features (revolutionary like tabbed surf and etc) on my PC and works, not lousy Chrome features. I want individual features way beyond "Opera." Stop masking useful options under invisible option settings, start developing a good browser again. Why not choose Maxthon over Vivaldi. It's way better, it combines IE's capability with Vivaldi's comfort after all! For the last few months I used it more often than Vivaldi (30% in total usage).
Don't make me solve my own problems like the rest of the "coding world" does. Don't throw away solutions any more that a tiny minority of people can actually understand and/or follow.
Pull yourselves together over there!
No kind regards! At least not today
If you don't wanna hear Opera related complaints any more, stop ruining this beautiful browser!Mod Edit: Removed shouting and foul language. Corrected typos.

@lvnt Saving a single page as mhtml is an experimental feature.

@lvnt We appreciate your frustration. Browser development is a slow and arduous process. And making one user happy always makes another user angry.
No, for the most part, developers don't read here. There's not enough time in the day to read the forums and do their jobs.
If you find specific features lacking, please post them in the features request thread to be upvoted by other users. If you find specific bugs, please file individual (one report per bug) bug reports on them.
If you have specific orders/commands/instructions for the developers, please realize these are passed internally, from the top down - not relayed from the outside in.

Which disables the normal html and website complete functions.
Additionally it does not save the page in its recent state but loads the page fresh before saving (whoever of the chromium authors had this "great" idea), which is a total no-go with today's "modern" websites that load stuff by JS after interaction with the page.I solved the problem for me by writing a small extension (4,22kb) which allows me to capture the page in its state and save the capture as MHT(ML). No, I did not publish it in the google webstore, I am waiting for Vivaldi's own extensions store (yes, I am patient enough to wait some more years :p )
Other than that:
VB-2101 - Save as Web archive (mhtml) is missing
(yes, that old) -

Are you sure about that?

I stand corrected - seems they have added it since I last checked it. Didn't see anything about that in the chromium or Vivaldi changelogs. Well, live and learn ...
Now I only need to check if they still use a fresh page for generating the MHT file....
Edit: checked, seems to work now too. There are still some slight differences between the flag option and the real page capture but I can live with those.
