Ability to sync opened tabs across devices
-
I know this is a very bold suggestion, and I haven't seen any browser out there that could achieve this, but what if Vivaldi could be able to sync all the opened tabs across devices? Let's say I have 10 tabs opened on my desktop Vivaldi browser, and I also have mobile Vivaldi installed on my phone/iPad. If I launch Vivaldi on my mobile devices and have the option to quickly open all the tabs I have opened on the desktop. Wouldn't that be cool? What's more what if I could have all the opened tabs synced across those devices? If I close a tab on my phone, I come back to my desktop and the same tab is also closed. In short the entire browser session is synced across all my devices.

Hi, it is possible already.
Desktop show open tabs on other devices in cloud icon on tab bar, Android shows it in tabs > cloud > hold device name > open all.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin User wants the sync to be reactive and in real time - which is not at present possible.

I do. Vivaldi, at least on my hardware, is more than capable of handling hundreds of tabs. Combined with tab stacks I find it very productive. It's so easy to have several different research topics going that I come back to when time allows, each with a tab stack, or 2 or 3, containing 10, 30, 70 tabs, whatever. It's also really awesome that you can "share" tab stacks. I frequently email tab stacks to myself from my mobile to easily restore them on any device at some point in the future. Android automatically puts the tab stack's name into the subject of the email.

This would be awesome as I use three different pc's and do the same things. It's been more than two years since the first request. Any chance to make it happen dear beloved Vivaldi devs?

I would also find this an extremely useful feature. Now that vivaldi is available on all major platofrms, it would be extremely productive to open it and instantly start on the same window as on every device.
I run it on a Windows desktop, an M2 Macbook, a Samsung Galaxy Tab (at home) and an iPad Pro (at work). All have 100+ tabs open in multiple workspaces and tab stacks. Some common but many not, so I am always looking for the tab I need on the little cloud icon and trying to find it in different devices.
If I could start with the same window, I would be so much more productive! It would be a trully excellent feature for a browser aimed at power users and I suspect that since the sync function is already in place, it would not be a huge implementation.

Currently one can view the tabs open on other devices separate from the tabs open on the current device.
It would be nice to have the option to sync tabs in such a way that the open tabs on all devices, for example, Desktop and Mobile, are synced so that when the user closes a tab on Android it is also closed on the Desktop, and vice versa.
The current sync functionality should be retained for users who prefer it.
Ideally, this should also work across multiple installs on the same platform, for example, in the case a user has two PCs with Desktop Vivaldi installed. Additionally, it would be ideal to be able to set sync groups so that devices A and B are synced, and devices C and D are synced, retaining the current synced tabs functionality so that the user can see the tabs on devices A and B while using device C or D. Edit: on second thought, if all the Workspaces were synced the user could simply use different workspaces to achieve this functionality.
Referring to the original post, 'the option to quickly open all the tabs I have opened on the desktop' is already possible, though I think that statement was not meant as phrased. It should be that the open tabs are synced such that if a tab is added or deleted it will be added or deleted near-instantaneously on other synced devices.

Hi, we have several requests about sync Workspaces, Sessions, and much more.
All tabs on all devices would be a nightmare to me, 300 tabs on a desktop is maybe OK but on a mobile it is a disaster.
Please search for existing requests on a user page and vote for these you need/like.https://lonmcgregor.github.io/VivaldiFeatureRequests/#tag=&req=sync&minscore=0&tagsEnabled=

That tool seems better than the search feature built into the forum as I could not find any such post unless I skipped over it initially.
My Pixel 5 can certainly handle above 300 tabs. A more aggressive tab hibernation feature or one that is only active when this feature is enabled might be a solution for more extreme tab counts.

Hi, you can choose mobile > feature request section in the forum search but the page of @LonM is much better, I guess it search in feature requests he already cataloged.My device can handle 300 tabs too but I don't have tabs open I maybe need next week, it's the same with the tools on my workbench.
It's just a different way of working.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin You should wear a tool belt at all times, and all of the tools you own should be hanging from it - just in case you may need one of them some time in the next month.
