Support tags for bookmarks
-
Vivaldi could also auto-copy the description and keywords meta tags from the page HTML to the bookmark's description. May not be very useful for pages that abuse those meta tags but for most pages worth bookmarking it may work.
Maybe even with a custom keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+D => New bookmark without description
Ctrl+Shift+D => New bookmark using page description -
This is what bugs me too about the bookmarking system in Vivaldi. I simply cannot efficiently find my bookmarks, if I have to enter exactly a substring of the description. Who remembers the exact wording of a description?! If there is one word different, you'll simply not see that bookmark, instead of seeing it, because you typed a word, which is the tag of the bookmark.
afaik it cannot be done in Vivaldi so far. I have to rely on addons like one-tab to compensate for it, putting tags I will soon need again into that, instead of bookmarking and forgetting until needed.

Firefox bookmark manager is its killer feature. Missing it on Vivaldi

(Sorry to my bad English, I am Chinese from Hong Kong, but I am really need to register a new account and tell below to Vivaldi team.)
I agree add the Tag as well! The only reason i don't turn to vivaldi and still using Firefox. I am delicious bookmark user since 2005 and heavy use on bookmark, i have about 3K+ bookmark and become my own knowledge base & library.For bookmark system, Chrome is fail, Chrome doesn't have tag also and Google doesn't improve since very first release, as well as the new bookmark extension from Google, horrible speed, and material design. (Google think material design can apply to all UI? definitely he is wrong.)
The only winner is Firefox, Title,description,tag, keyword, last visit, add date etc. Very detail on it. Vivaldi having a unique feature is refresh the thumbnail, which I love it and I sure it is exciting for Delicious,Pocket,Pinboard user as well. Just one things, the Tag. Tag is very different concept to folder.
Let say I have many bookmark about Javascript, but some is about [Framework], [plugin], [Datetime], [Maths], it very inefficient if I classified as Folder and the sub-folder tree will huge. Vivaldi is going on right way now, bring back the feeling of Opera, not just being Chrome Clone. So I hope I can uninstall the Firefox, Chrome and stay with Vivaldi.

@veewii: Bookmarks have miles of improvement ahead of them yet. Tags are one thing that (at least eventually) will be addressed.

@Ayespy
It is really good news, I believe many firefox user will turn to vivaldi very soon!
Firefox 57 will drop classic extension model and goes web extension, Many (really! MANY) firefox user is looking for alternate browser, but Doesn't consider Chrome because it doesn't able to customize and the UI is just look old and not much improve from version 1 to version 58. -
I've switched from Firefox recently and bookmark with tagging seems yet to be implemented, or is it hidden somewhere?
This would be a very important and necessary feature to implement. -
With mozilla firering a lot of good people I was looking at Vivaldi again but not being able to import and use my tagged bookmarks keeps me (and potentially others) from switching over.

@SemperRoto It is a popular request to Add Searchable Tags for Bookmarks, but it is not currently tagged as In Progress or Pipeline, so you are unlikely to see it any time soon.

I have created a script to add the tags from my Firefox bookmarks to the description field of the Vivaldi bookmarks.
If there is interest, I could work on making it more usable.
At the moment it has to be used from the command line, and Deno (a JavaScript runtime) has to be installed. It is intended for one time use (import bookmark tags from Firefox once). It is a hack as it modifies the "Bookmarks" file that Vivaldi uses to store bookmarks. I only tested it on my own bookmarks.
The GitHub repository for the script is here:
