Meet the Vivaldi team in Oslo in 2019

我很喜歡Vivaldi左側功能面板中的「筆記」，可以擷取網頁中的文字、圖片、網址到筆記欄。

Mod Edit: Bing translation

I love the notes in the Vivaldi left feature panel, where you can retrieve text, pictures, URLs to the notes bar in a Web page.

Best feature of Vivaldi that I never had previously in Firefox+extensions is the ability to drag the tabbar down to reveal thumbnails previews for all the tabs. Surprisingly this feature doesn't have any toggle hotkey, mouse gesture binding, or any customization options, would be be even better if it did. I find it pretty useful when you accumulate 20+ tabs and want a better overview of all tabs without going over each tab to get the tab thumbnail preview which was something Firefox had as an addon and is good to see built in Vivaldi.

For the most part Vivaldi implements alot of the power features that 'used' to exist and work as addons for Firefox. Still I find plenty of areas for improvement Vivaldi however as web browser on the market right, now nothing compares to it. With developers behind it who care alot more than most the other web browser developers to actually build in alot of the power user friendly browsing features that make it far more accessible to other users to try these features when they otherwise might never have discovered better workflows in browsing. With options and nice theming customization that doesn't require editing css files aswel, though that is still also an option which is even nicer. The bookmarks and history views are also pretty flash, though context menus for the dropdown bookmark menus need improvement. Anyway the ability to still use the chrome store eco system of extensions is another big benefit. While still being alot more customizable in the frontend with css/js.

All in all pretty awesome and I actually really look forward to the mobile version (as I see plenty of room for improvement in mobile web browsers most are just really basic in ux/gui and navigation) and hope syncing gets some more refinement like only specific bookmark folders being synced so it is as customizable and power user friendly, I think 2019 onwards will be great for this browser.

See Settings, Keyboard, Tabs, Tab Thumbnail. This is also available as a command to bind to a mouse gesture.

@pesala: Clearly I must have missed it

Without even thinking, I can say my favorite features are the floating side panels and tab stacking. Those 2 are by far my favorite tools in Vivaldi and they can both speed-up work and increase general productivity in an absurd way! I can't even imagine my working and personal-surfing life without that anymore.

But, sincerely, after all that happened lately, I say my favorite thing about Vivaldi in general are the people behind it. You're such an amazing team and you're doing a difference for real with Vivaldi, and the way you treat your users really matters!
Even if I'm not the lucky one here, I'd still like to pay you a visit sometime! ^^

@koolio: I remember only seeing that tab thumbnail feature before in a Japanese browser called Sleipnir (but it's slow)
It's very cool when you work on big screens, though I usually send the thumbs to the sides in that case to optimize space! Edge has it now too, btw, but it's also not as optimized as it is in Vivaldi.

@hanike: ps: as I've mentioned on Twitter already past morning, with a photo of my cat for Vivaldi, btw! haha...

I simply felt in love with the name of the Vivaldi browser - that was a love at first sight Now I am using it and I will never regret. Viva Vivaldi Browser!

Twenty years ago we used to play Q&A games using IRC and a chat bot called Yasmina. The one with the fastest browser search engine was often the winner so being a skeptic myself I was in doubt that Vivaldi would change the game using the Chromium engine. However, we haven't played for quite some time now and sometimes I miss the fun. For my profession however I have everything I need. That said, not being the power user myself with all the bells and whistles, there are a fairly amount of ready to go features I still need to discover.

The best part of all is the community to me and I confess to read very often in the forums. So if that counts as a favorite feature from using Vivaldi, this would be it.

A meeting with the Vivaldi team, a great idea.

Hope there will be again soon.
