(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
I think there should be some sort of visual cue when a download starts, usually I have to double check if it started by opening the tab. Also the icon for 'bookmarks' looks too similar to the other ones imo, it's not obvious. My 2 cents.

You can opt to open the Downloads panel automatically on starting a download, in Settings, Downloads.

The old Opera had the feature to cycle through open tabs by right clicking the mouse and using the mouse wheel.
See pic related.I'd love to see this feature again, it's just so convenient.
Also, it seems as if I am not able to change the URL of a speed dial bookmark which would also be nice.

Just go to tools/settings/tabs and enable "Switch Tabs by Scrolling."
To change the URL of a speed dial, simply edit it in the bookmarks editor or in the bookmarks panel. I suspect the ability to edit it right in the Speed Dial UI will also be offered in due time.

Vivaldi Feature Request: hotkeys for selected tabs.
Vivaldi has shortcuts for tab stack
And not for the normal tabs:
So I want hotkey to tile selected tabs vertically (the most useful case) and the same hotkey to untile tabs.

I second this. I know you can turn on "switch tabs by scrolling" in Vivaldi's tab settings, but I really don't like the tab cycler in Vivaldi compared to O12. I want a vertical tab list like O12 had, with the ability to set it to whatever keyboard shortcut I want, not just "ctrl + tab" which I don't like using, but my own shortcuts. I also want to not have the scrolling with mouse hovering the tab bar to be on, just like O12 had it. Basically, I want O12's tab cycling function in every way possible.

A better way to handle persistent cookies. On the older, (ver 11 I think) Opera we could right click on a page and set cookies for that site, overriding the global settings. Some cookies need to be retained, most need to be deleted when browser or tab is closed. It's a colossal PIA to copy or memorize URL's, drill down into a menu then paste or enter exceptions. And trying to decide which cookies to keep or delete in the menu is hit or miss as a large portion of them can't be identified.
My preference would be box on main tab, (or where ever we decide to put it) marking cookies for that site as 'protected', that won't delete when others are deleted.
Please do something cuz treating cookies as 'one size fits all' doesn't.A zoom box on the main bar would also be nice. +, -, and default buttons with the option to set default and percentage steps.
Setting cookies while on the site is way more important. -
I am not sure where to post this, so I decided to do it here.
From this link: https://vivaldi.net/en-US/teamblog/96-snapshot-1-0-430-3-mouse-gestures-for-fast-forward-and-rewind We can read:
[Regression] Smooth scrolling is no longer user configurable (VB-13985)
What does it mean? Am I now unnable to turn the smooth scrolling off?

When a bug number is called out in a changelog, it's supposed to mean it's fixed, not that it's still that way.

a nice feature would be
search in page highlighting after page reload.
currently you have after page reload seeking change so that the result is highlighted
other browsers are not able to do it also
-
And also… Make something with THIS, really fast, because losing passwords despite the user's own backuping will be very bad advertise. I don't know how many users know about this and relies on own backups or restored data from dead disc or whatever only.¨
I don't see this feature (Chromium…) as brilliant safe and privacy feature like as unconsidered path to fail.
PS: Better will be feature to save and store passwords in file, much people don't want send their passwords to someone else servers (synchronize).
-
Make –process-per-site an officially supported option, especially for reloading browser sessions.
Also allow combining all tabs (regardless of site) and all extensions into a single process to save even more resources on constrained systems.
Add Quick Commands for Enabling/Disabling Javascript/Plugins/etc. like Opera's F12 menu.
Add a privacy option for disabling HTTP-Referrers for third party sites / for everything.
Add support for the Windows taskbar menu (that opens by right clicking the Vivaldi taskbar button).
-
Please let still address filed focused on new tab with Speed Dial. If I have new tab opened and alt-tab to any other application and then alt-tab back to Vivaldi, automatically start typing and later I see that address field was not focused.
Edit:
- Add possibility for disable plus button next to tab on Tab Bar
- If I middleclick (click by middle mouse button) on tab for closing it cursor change to four-way cross, but only if I middleclick on preview part. If I middleclick on name-part of tab cursor stay as arrow. Let it be arrow every time and do not change it to cross.

About Keyboard Shortcut
It would be great if the shortcut function is invalid on specific URL.
For example I wanna use shortcut of Google Spreadsheet but Vivaldi's shortcut get priority and it bothers me.Sincerely
You may be able to do this from outside of Vivaldi using a keyboard macro system. AutoHotKey for Windows, AutoKey for Linux, Automater for Mac.

- It should be possible to create bookmark groups so you can load a Group of sites at the same time.
Saving and loading of sessions is already possible. You can also load a bookmark folder of up to 20 tabs at once time.
Firefox has something (don't remember what) that adds Load All Bookmarks In Tabs as the last entry when a bookmark subfolder is displayed inside the Bookmarks drop down. That would kind of do what you want and would be nice to have anyway.
I have all my banking links in one bookmarks subfolder in Firefox and I can open them all in tabs using this feature when I am making sure all my financial stuff is up to date. Also useful when I save a bunch of related shopping links and want to look at them all at once.

I think this has been requested before, but I can't find it.
The bookmark manager displays folders in a tree which is necessary for organizing a lot of bookmarks. That part works great, but when I try to add a bookmark, it displays all the folders as a flat list. This is almost totally unusable because I have many nested folders of bookmarks and some even have the same name like "howto" which can only be identified by their position in the bookmark folder tree.
The Add Bookmark dialog should show the folders as a tree exactly the same way the regular Bookmarks display works so that it is possible to navigate to/search for/identify the right folder to add the new bookmark into.

When I click on a link in the browser, there is often a long (3 - 10 seconds) delay before the link starts loading. Once it starts loading, the address bar becomes a progress bar (a bit hard to see as others have noted) that tells me something is happening.
I assume that the delay itself is caused by factors external to Vivaldi - like the time it takes for the web server to respond.
What I would like is for some indication to appear immediately to let me know that Vivaldi has received the request and is working on it. Without this, my tendency is to think that nothing is happening and I often click on the link repeatedly until something visible occurs. This wastes system resources and often causes multiple identical tabs to be opened unintentionally. I.e., It's really annoying.
It just needs an "I'm working on it" icon or indicator to appear (and to go away when it's done).

I would like to be able to set keyboard shortcuts for Navigation Left, Up, Right, and Down (what the arrow keys currently do). The shortcuts are already there for Spatial Navigation, and it would be nice if I didn't have to install Vimium to configure these to hjkl. Even if we couldn't unmap the arrow keys, it would still be nice to be able to add these mappings.

How about a Torrent downloader like torch as well as a audio/video grabber?
screencastify (from chrome) works pretty well as a video grabber.
