(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Tnx much. Didn't know about this.
-
Ok,
most of that was probably requested in few first posts, but I will repeat what is important for me:
All of these features where present in Opera 12:
- Ability to select multiple tabs (With mouse and Shift and Ctrl) in the tabs view, and move them around, reload all of them, close them all, or copy URLs of them.
- Links menu, listing all the links on current webpage, with ability to select multiple links (with mouse and Shift and Ctrl), copy them all to clipboard, or open them all at once, or download them all.
- Ability to remove "X" (close button) from every tab. I just use middle mouse button or Ctrl-W for that, "X" is just waste of space.
- Ability to remove "+" from the tab bar. I am just using Ctrl-N, or other method of opening new tabs.
- Pasting (using middle button under Linux) into free area of tab bar, should automatically open new tab with the URL from the clipboard. No need to open new tab, and then do paste & go.
- With tab grouping, is should be possible to represent groups as a 2-level tree on a tab bar, or some other panel is on a right or left side of the browser. It should be possible to collapse or expand a group, and or select many tabs (potentially from different groups), or entire groups, and do group operations on them, like move, close, reload, freeze, copy URLs, etc.
Very important:
- Option to open new tab, right next to the current one, or the group of currently (in progress opening) open ones, (before switch to it, and making a new current one), instead always at the end. Just like Opera 12.
Few that would be useful additionally:
- Be able to paste multiple URLs (one by line, with with empty lines ignored) into address bar, using Paste&Go, or using middle click into empty tab bar space, or into Download manager, to open multiple new tabs, or queue multiple URLs for download.
Few other pieces I do not like:
- Long progress bar. I do not like very wide progress bar, that make things move quickly from left to right. I would prefer, a shorter progress bar, at most 200px, at the right side of the address bar, with resource counter, and speed and download size, instead. Just like in old opera.
-
Some things I miss:
- speed dial should have more customization in terms of website pictures. I would like to have an option to display a website logo or simply text with it's name (just like on Opera) or at least option to add my own picture there. I have multiple forums pinned to the speed dial and they look kind of the same.
- option to customize how links are opened. 90% of the time I open links in background tabs and I rarely need them open in active window. So I would like to remove or rearrange options I don't use.
- new links opening behaviour options - so I would have option to choose where my new tab will be opened - to the next of the active tab or as a last tab.
- options to customize smooth scrolling behaviour.
- button to recall recently closed tabs.
-
I stopped at Opera 12 as it was the last version to render WAP sites. Where they still exist, they are very efficient for information eg wap.nationalrail.co.uk - especially on mobile devices. Now, not even the Android stock browser renders wap.
I like Vivaldi but i had hoped it would do WAP.
-
Dear Vivaldi team, is there a chance for a bookmark bar enhancement?
-
In other browsers such as Firefox or Opera, you can switch between bookmark folders by simple mouseover. In Vivaldi, you have to click on another bookmark folder to open it. An option to change the behaviour of this would be great.
-
Please add the possibility to open all bookmarks in a bookmark folder via middle mouse click on the folder. But it should only open the bookmarks in the root folder, not bookmarks of subfolders, too.
-
Speaking of bookmark subfolders, it should be possible to open all containing bookmarks via middle mouse click (or at least via context menu), too.

Would you please share with us the different screen resolutions you have please?
Thanks in advanceHere is my input.
Ability to set the default zoom per screen. My laptop has an insane resolution, so I need to zoom in pretty badly when Vivaldi is there, but as soon as I launch a window on the external screen, I need to zoom out.
-
A mobile version of Vivaldi is in our pipeline. Not sure if it'll be a WAP version though as it's disappearing in many countries. Where are you located?

Both are already available. Please check your preferences.
Clear garbage
Dark theme
Until there's an official thread up, why not use this one to tell the developers what you want to see in Vivaldi going forward.
-My main concern is the white bar on the top, it'd be nice to be able to change to a "dark theme" or just be able to change the colour in general.
-Also it seems that clicking the garbage can icon in the top right just shows the history but doesn't let you delete it. It'd would be nice to not have to open a new tab and go to history to delete/clear history. -
Is it possible to add saving a session that's in a private/incognito window?
A friend and I tend to use private window, open a bunch of tabs and then want to actually save those tabs but there's no practical solution to it in any browser. It would be great to use session manager to open 'em in a normal window.
Tried doing it today but session manager only saved the tabs which were in a normal window in the background.

- Option to place Add New Tab button [+] on a navigation bar
-
Drag to resize tiled tabs.
At first I didn’t think I’d make much use of the tiled tabs feature, but now I use it all the time, and I really wish I could redistribute the amount of space devoted to each tile, especially in grid view.
-
Dark theme improvements.
I think Firefox dark theme (built-in theme in FF dev. version) looks much better.

!!!! New Tab Next To Current. please.
now right click on link and selecting "open in new tab" creates new tab at the end of all tabs.
i'd like to have an option to open new tabs next to current -
I have started to use Vivaldi more and more all the time, but there's some small things I really miss when I'm using it. These probably has been requested before.
- Being able to drag tabs to new windows and also being able to drag tabs between windows.
- Quick search on sites using the addressbar. Like in chrome where I can write en.wikipedia.org to addressbar and press Tab and then I can do a quick search on wikipedia.
-
Also: need site-specific default zoom!
-
Some browsers let you change the tab name on a site-specific basis. This would be helpful! The default zoom and tab name could be stored with the bookmark.
-
Is it possible to get a indicator for a running download as well as the page load indicator on a tab?
-

There is such an indicator, built into the download icon in the side panel. There is a crawler in the little bar at the bottom of the icon.
-
It's way too slow! It appears to open up a new process for every tab. I want to have tabs available without having them running all the time. Firefox doesn't load the page associated with a tab until you try opening that tab; maybe Vivaldi could do that?
-
I'd like to see an optional indicator when an installed extension is not currently enabled. There are a couple extensions I routinely use that are actively updated, which means they're frequently getting disabled in the browser (due to permission changes I'd imagine). I never seem to notice until I'm at a site and want to use the extension…only to find it missing. Going to the extensions page and re-enabling it works, but I wish it was something I noticed at the beginning of the browser session. Maybe a way to keep the extension button in the toolbar but have it greyed out, when disabled?
