(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
- More detailed settings. e.g. font configuration, privacy settings.
- Secret mode.
- Enable/Unable flash.
-
I updated Vivaldi.
"Close all tabs" tab menu is deleted…
I need it. -
Hi, great start for a browser. My humble requests:
1. open link in new tab without switching focus to new tab
2. FOSS the code (any plans?)
3. AdBlock or Ublock extension -
Quick Download - super simple yet very useful feature. Old Opera was the only browser that had this out of the box.
-
I haven't found these two in the thread:
- When clicking with the mouse wheel on a free spot in the tab bar, a new tab (i.e. speed dial) should open
- I don't know what it's called but when clicking with the mouse wheel somewhere on the page (not on a link!) this cursor appears:
and you can 'fly' through the page by just moving the mouse. However, if in this mode, you try to scroll by turning the mouse wheel, Vivaldi does not leave said 'flying' mode. Unlike Opera 12.
I hope someone understands, because I'm not too good at explaining.
-
Yeah we need the tab switching via the scroll wheel back. And the new tab gesture seems to be missing.
1. Tab Switching
2. Context menu to reopen last tab
3. Save as mhtml should be default.
4. Link text selection is still impossible, even Firefox is better but still not Opera 12.x
5. Interface seems to be affected by page content like it is in Chrome, the Opera based on Chrome actually fixed this along with how tabs are opened and closed.
6. The colors on the address bar are distracting. And text in web pages and the tab bar are too small even on a 15" 1080p screen.I hate to think how bad hidpi users have it. And the loading indicator gives you the idea there is an error with all the red.
7. OK Vivaldi? That is in the About:flags settings. No one will be able to pronounce this if you actually intend to implement it, More likely it was just a text replacement. -
Currently, Chrome provides two OCSP options via enterprise policy, both of which have problems. The soft-fail option only provides a warning after the page is loaded. The hard-fail option is not overrideable and the UI for it is misleading, providing no option for when the OCSP server can't be accessed. This should be fixed by adding an overrideable hard-fail option.

I've become dependant on a password store - so plugin support is the feature I miss most using Vivaldi.
I doubt that the major software houses would be keen to support another plugin API, so providing support for either Chrome or Firefox plugins would be a nice compromise - didn't Opera do this for Chrome plugins? -

What is not ready yet is the full UI support.
-
Thanks - so where do I copy the plugin file to?
I don't see an obvious target (like an "Internet Plug-ins" folder under "~/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi/"). The plugin for my password store is already in the system level "/Library/Internet Plug-ins/" folder & Vivaldi does not appear to be loading it from there. -
Sorry. I don't know. QuHno, I'm sure, does though.

I would like two things:
Vim key scrolling - alt+k scrolls down, alt+k scrolls up, and h/j scroll left/right when applicable. I know I could just use the arrow keys, but I'm used to these. So basically being able to set my own scroll keys.
Slash to select - in my current browser I can hit the '/' key and type to search through items on the page and highlight them, so I could navigate by typing the name of a link and hitting enter.

Hi,
I always used Opera browser until this latest version based on chrome platform and I want to share some points/features I believe are important for Vivaldi browser.
1. Spatial navigation - being able to opera the browser only using the keyboard was unique in Opera and still no other browser have implement this amazing feature. The "dot" search feature was also incredible and combined with full keyboard navigation it defined Opera as the most prepared browser for intense web navigation and research.
2. Favorites shortcut bar - this is a main browser feature still missing, to place the top favorite sites and bookmarklets that we use every day/week/.. .
3. Support the majority of sites - this is kind of a myth, but one very negative point of Opera browser along all these years was the lack of proper presentation in most of all sites and as consequence, it's lack of vast adoption like firefox, chrome, .. .I do realize it was working by the web standards but it's more important to ensure proper support in the majority of sites, ensuring near zero problems to all users. This was key problem that I found over the years, plus, in 14+ plus years in IT web companies, we always got issues while trying to support opera browser, when compared to other browsers.
4. Evaluate the mail feature - is it relevant to have one email client inside the browser? shouldn't the focus be a unique web browsing experience?
5. Personal favorites, pin and share web content feature - no browser as yet presented a good manager of personal web favorites and picks of web content, that can keep things private, searchable and shareable the way users want, and all this associated with a clean and easy to use personal web site.
6. Read page feature - also from Opera, this was a very helpful feature.
7. CTRL + Z to reopen closed tabs
8. private tab/window
Best of wishes for Vivaldi development!

Hi there, am really happy to hear about this browser being developed and being a worthy successor to Presto (well soon)
What I miss so far:
1. more options ins gnerel, many options from Presto still missing, guess you're planing to implement most of em later.
Especially I'm missing the option on cookies that causes a pop-up to ask for cookie permission on each homepage individually2. More options for Speed Dial. I loved Presto for the options on the speed dial tab. U really should be able to the individual reload times for each homepage in the speed dial overview. Also supporting speed dial extensions from Opera would be nice, for example the weather-forecast speed dial plug-in or the earth porn reddit speed dial(this is a must have!)
Also being able to set background pictures in speed dial would be nice.3. don't know if a synchronize function is planned but it is a must have. Being able to synchronize my bookmarks on different machines is so handy and every browser supports it theses days.
That's all for now. Guess many features are planned anyway as it's only an early tech preview. Still I love it already

I haven't read all the posts so don't know if it has been mentioned previously however I would like to request an advanced referral blocker/manager in which you can for example set it up to block referrals for any third party sites while still keeping it on first party sites but also the ability to set up specific rules for specific sites where there is a need to have referrals from the first party site to the third party site for the third party site to function etc..
I don't know if it's currently implemented but a built-in ad and tracker blocker would be good as well in order to combat tracking and malwaretising (or what it's called, essentially malicious ads)
The ability to playback proprietary codecs (or what the proper term is called) like MP3, MP4 and H.264 - I do realize this will probably not happened because of license costs however you could bypass that by using the codecs on the local computer, if present, as I think Opera does(?) although I don't know exactly how that works. This would largely remove the need for flash as HTML5 is being used more and more (many videos being sent out over HTML5 is still in H.264 and youtube will sometimes take a while before their VP9 videos are available and VP8 is limited to like 360p however H.264 is available as fallback as well until VP9 is available (I believe it's VP8 and VP9 but I could be wrong)
A good pop-up blocker, haven't tested this but the one built-in to chrome is rather bad and usually don't block pop-ups using Javascript, at least in my personal experience.
Personally I'm a huge fan of smooth scrolling, functionality similar to that of the Chrome extension "Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller" would be nice.
Built-in HTTPS Everywhere because why not?
Something similar to the "Tab Cookies" extension for Chrome.
That's what I can think of right now..

I mentioned these on the latest snapshot blog entry but I think they'd be useful here too :
1. when opening a tab in the background, when the page fully loads (in the background !) the title of the tab doesn't change immediately to let use know if the page has been partially loaded or not and it stays the same (showing the URL of the clicked link) until the page fully loads… just then it changes the title of the tab...
what makes it worse is that at first the tab doesn't even have a title (especially on slower Internet bandwidths) and sometimes even if it completely loads, the tab's title wouldn't change until we click on it and activate the tab... when we do that, the title is changed and the right one is shown...
the tab should have a URL title until it has been partially loaded and IMMEDIATELY after loading the tabs header, the Title should change to the headers title so that we'd know that the tab has been partially loaded without clicking on the tab.
and something else, when showing the url on a tab which hasn't been completely loaded, try to remove the protocol name ('http://' or 'https://')... we only need to know the url and the protocol just gets in the way and fills the title space of the tab.2. a suggestion : add an option for us to export our settings (everything we have changed in the settings page such as shortcuts or even the home page) to a file so that we could later import those settings and get all the changes we previously spent time to adjust.
until a Sync functionality is implemented, this approach saves us the time to configure Vivaldi on other systems according to our taste... Vivaldi isn't supposed to be ChrOpera or Chrome to have no customizable settings and because each user has his/her customizations, they are going to need a tool to export those self-customized settings and import them on other systems.3. opening a new tab is faster than before but it still is slow... reminds me of the first days of ChrOpera (Opera 15) when hitting "Ctrl + T" opened a new laggy tab which took nearly 1 second to stabilize and the User could FEEL the Lag ! in this build of vivaldi the lags presence has less impact than before but it still isn't as fast as it was in Opera 12.X or even the newer versions of ChrOpera. I tested this on slower systems and ended up with even more lag. for those of you who can't feel the lag you should spend some time on the newer ChrOpera versions or Opera 12.x and then you get what I'm saying.

Give us a way to put bookmarks in alphabetical order please.
-
Got an idea today : make an option to reload the page if the local file is changed. Would be so usefull
-
Give us a way to put bookmarks in alphabetical order please.
I'm sure that's a work in progress - but yes, that's needed.
