Tab Counter

[glx]

Would it be possible to add a tab counter to the adress bar in the Vivaldi desktop version like it is already implemented in the Android version?

The tab count is available by pressing "F2", but in my view it would be nice (and consistent for all versions of Vivaldi) to have a persistent indicator for open tabs - wouldn't this make sense?

@glx Already available in the Window Panel if you enable Folder Counters in Settings, Panels.

Colored Tab Counter - Chrome Web Store
Displays the current number of open tabs, open windows or both and turns red as the number of open tabs increases

@pesala I see, thank you for the hint!
IMHO it would be nice not only to see the numbers with an open side panel, but more the way@claudio asked for. I was wondering why this feature is inconsistent with the Android version, because the side panels might not be open or another one is active without the tab counter. The current solution is like "where can I see the tab counter? click click click which is far away from being intuitive
Maybe this feature could be optionally displayed like the QR-code sign in the address bar?

It seems this has not been brought up much, but I completely agree with the poster. It is inconsistent between platform versions, and the official way you 'check' requires barely less clicking than selecting all your open tabs and right-clicking (the number of tabs is shown in the save as workspace option).

Speaking of the official way to do it, why is there not an option for the number of tabs, windows or something in a little top-right-circle thingy? Like the one thats already standard on the reading list option, when the side panel is shown (I enable that only as needed) and yet, knowing the total amount is far more important to keep tabs on to users like myself, who usually has alot of them open.

I LOVE that on the Android version, after 99 it will show only a classic ASCII : D (no space obv). I'd love it even more if it was available, with a user-setable variable for when to go to 'smiley mode', on Windows. I believe it is intended as a wink to users not to waste RAM by having >100 tabs open, I may be wrong though. If I'm not though then it seems weird that potential excessive RAM usage isn't considered important on the Windows version.

All that makes it not just counter-intuitive, that's dumb.

The browser which has the most options, period, doesn't have an option to enable a feature that is already available in the version from another platform?

I mean, looking at the bottom of my window I see that around half of the bar there is empty (and I like having things like page options and zoom control buttons etc enabled); So why haven't you given us one more thing to put there?
My 47" display in 1920x1080, scaled for watching from around 4m away even means I probably have more of it filled up than most do.

A user like myself cannot help but think it.

That seems...Dumb.

And I would hate to have to think of you guys and your Awesome product as "dumb", in any context at all actually (I'm a vocal supporter of You when talking to people about our opinions on 'best' choices on necessary software).

So please, please consider adding this as an (optional) feature on all versions. Actually no, just the Windows one is fine, and the Linux one. I mean if you have time.

I don't care about the Mac version, as Mac's in general are also dumb.
