Remove home button?
-
Hi; The home button serves no purpose if you just resume from the last browsing session. All it does is serve as a big ad for vivaldi dot com. Can we have an option to remove it?
-
In Menu/Settings/Startup you can set it to go to whatever page on the web you would like. You can even direct it to open Speed Dial by setting it to chrome://dummystartpage.
For now, however, it can't be removed. That option will come in time.
-
Actually it can be removed:
.button-toolbar.home { display: none }
See this topic for details: https://vivaldi.net/en-US/forum/all/3073-vivaldi-ui-customisations

Thanks, both of you. Good to hear it will come in time. I'll see if I can use the custom CSS trick in the meantime.
-
Thanks guys! I tried the CSS trick, and it worked. I'll keep this up until the feature to remove the home button comes.

For Linux users (I'm on kUbuntu 16.04.1):
Vivaldi deb installs in /opt so paths to files to edit are
/opt/vivaldi/resources/vivaldi/style/common.css
and
/opt/vivaldi/resources/vivaldi/browser.htmlOption with common.css didn't work for me but browser.html editing did it.
Hope this will help someone. -
it is super strange to me with their obsession with choices that after 3 years you still cannot remove the home button nor are accesskeys working.

access keys are already in 2.1 snapshot and will be in the incoming 2.1 stable

@bobmajdakjr Just set your Home Page to any link you use very frequently; e.g.

@pesala they don't want to set the home page to something else, just remove the button. I actually did since 1.0 as I don't use it, and it would be a nice addition in the address bar settings, like there is already the option to hide the fast forward and rewind buttons.

@ian-coog I think there are better solutions than messing with CSS code.

I assume that comment is because the default home page is Vivaldi.com. So, change the homage page to a home page and make it useful for your browsing habits. I use it to load a text file with my schedule for the next month, passwords, phone numbers, etc.
