that is simply LAME.
Not nearly as lame as complaining when there are several decent workarounds to this issue.
It is unlikely that this feature will be added any time soon, as this five year old request has only 30 upvotes, and is not yet tagged as In Progress, nor even as Pipeline.
- There are 48 Top Feature requests with 75 votes or more and 32 Popular request with 50 votes or more.

@saerdna I just tried it on the latest version of Firefox. It is painfully slow to capture this short page.
- Capture Page and crop in IrfanView would be quicker
- Capture Scrolling Page in FastStone is a bit slow, but it is easy to do. Just press Escape when the page has scrolled as far as you need, and the image opens in FastStone Capture’s window for further editing or annotation before saving in various image formats.

@Pesala Thanks for the advice. For me the Firefox solution didn't take more time than using an external program. But I have to admit that I can't remember having taken any cropped screenshots since my last post in this thread. So though I'd regard it as a Nice to Have feature I can live without it and still stay with Vivaldi

The fact that an official Vivaldi ambassador is so argumentative and attacking people when they are requesting a very simple addition to an existing feature, specifically to bring the feature up to par with competing browsers, says a lot about Vivaldi as a whole.
No, I shouldn't need a 3rd party program to do this when several other browsers already can. No, it should not be a 4 step process. It's a 2 step process to move all of my data to a different browser that has the features I need. I use Vivaldi because I support it's general idealism about browser features since Firefox has decided to "simplify" it's browser a bit too much in recent times and is lacking HDR support. If Vivaldi (and it's official "Ambassadors") don't care about improving existing features, just adding new ones, then that's not something I want to support.
I understand this particular issue is somewhat niche, and has a low number of upvotes. But it also isn't an extremely hard thing to implement and probably already would have been done so if Vivaldi was open source. It's critical to some people's workflow. Saying "no" is one thing (and already questionable), but attacking people because they want a feature is simply shameful.

...an official Vivaldi ambassador...
An "official" Vivaldi ambassador is nothing more than a volunteer who has offered to be an ambassador for Vivaldi. There is no formal relationship between the company and the individual.
We have all grown accustomed to @Pesala's tone and quirks, but if you don't wish to see his comments you may block them. For my part, I would LOVE to see scrollable selection in screenshots. I have upvoted the feature request and I hope devs get the time and the will to implement it.

It seems to me that @pesala is just trying to be practical.
That is to say, if he knows that what is requested is very little voted and of very selective use, then what he is proposing is to be practical and offer a workaround.
If you go to work and you find yourself stuck in a traffic jam that is taking longer than it should. What do you do?
1.-Wait around and complain that you are going to be late for work.
2.- Turn into the next street and look for another way.
P.D. I don't think "friendly fire" is appropriate.

The fact is that you do need a third-party app. I never attack people for requesting a feature. I point out their folly when they complain that it should already be present when it is not.
Get real. If anyone switches to Vivaldi from other browsers (for good reasons) there are sure to be some features from their previous browser that are missing.
Who does it help to complain that this browser is lame due to missing some niche feature? It helps to offer workarounds, extensions, or third-party apps. Many users are happy to learn about these solutions.
