Vivaldi feature modification [bookmarks]
-
to remove some tag if necessary; - order the tags by the most used; - search a tag in a text search box; - etc. This idea came to me when I was struggling with my bookmarks folder in Chrome, searching for a specific item in a bookmark folder (which I have organized by subject), and it wasn't there. Then I found it in another folder, that was also subject-related to the link I wanted, but the time spent find it was a bit stressful, because I was in a hurry. Well, this is just an idea to be different from the other browsers (which is the idea here - different and better). Tell me what you think. Cheers!

I think a database-type interface is not a bad idea. If the mail module is anything like M2 in Opera, then expect powerful indexing in Vivaldi's mail client - so maybe some of the same principles could be applied to bookmarks too.
But drop the "#" and call it a label instead of a tag. We're not all Twitterati you know!

It was just my way of explaining the concept. :unsure: I'm not even a Twitter user :lol:
I have seen some modules and add-ons on the other main browser (firefox and chrome) that work with that feature, but the core is still a folder organized structure.
I really think that a label organized layout could make a difference - or maybe it's just me, but the folder organization is becoming obsolete. The concept is not new, but in a browser, it could be a "plus" over other browsers… -
Did you use mail in Opera? The reason Opera's mail client, M2, is so loved by some of us here is exactly because it was a database and not a files-and-folders system. It was quite revolutionary at the time and I remember people were saying that Google updated gMail to have similar indexing and other webmail also copied some of its features.
Having said that, I never bother with labels in Opera's mail either - because the system is smart enough that I don't need them! I can search mail for almost anything as long as I have an idea who was in the conversation and what was talked about - a couple of keywords and maybe one of the contacts and I'll get the post after just a few seconds searching. That search and the (smart) filters - so I can automatically group incoming messages with a similar theme - means I never need to manually label anything…

No, never used Opera, but Vivaldi caught my attention so I am giving it a try.
I like Gmail and even this new Inbox, although, for a Thunderbird user it is a bit strange since it creates multiple copies in my folder structure and it is a bit odd, but it doesn't bother me.
The bookmarks are a bit of problem to me, because sometimes when I'm doing some web search and I find thing of interest to me on several subjects, and I store them in some folder on the bookmarks, which relates to that. Some time later I need that subject, but I do not remember the website, nor the header text, nor the location because I have several folder separated by theme, and those themes are not unique. I have to search the bookmarks and even so, I don't find them, because the header text is a bit different than the subject… It's a bit of a problem to me, a delay and stress , but I get there.
Maybe I should take some vitamins for memory or so .
I've considered developing and add-on for the other browsers but I don't know that programming language. I could get there, but it would be a long shot / path for me (I know vb.net and starting on Java, but no web languages like the add-ons use: html, css and javascript).
Anyway, it seems that this is only my problem, not a general one, so I'll search some other path (adjust myself or solve it)
