(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
When clicked on a link to download something, if the option to download always to the same location is not selected, please open the save as dialog directly and not the browser download dialogue where you can select save/save as/…
-
It would be fine to add saving pages as .mht
-
Now that we have editable mouse gestures, I'd like to see one of the most useful gesture options that Opera had.
A mouse gesture for going to the top of a page. Basically having a mouse gesture assigned to a keystroke (in this case, the 'Home' keyboard key).
-
Second the request for fuzzy search. Just learned about Quick Commands (Command + E on the mac). It's similar to Sublime Text, but fuzzy matching would make this a game changer.
-
in the cookie editor add a pin button beside the delete button.
so you can clear all other or disable cookies completely, but keep the ones for your favorite sites. -

I also need this as I use it frequently in Opera: GoTo Start; GoToEnd would be good but even more is possible in Opera 12.17:
GestureUp = Open link in new page | Stop | Go to start | Close page
GestureDown = Open link in background page | Go to end | New page -
Hi,
Love Vivaldi first of all - So thanks for developing such a useful browser!
My feature request is around tab stacking and to have a setting(tick box) to automatically stack links opened from a page. With this setting you should also be able to choose the maximum number before stacking stops or limit say to 4/5 by default.
Currently, you have to open separate links and then stack after by dragging tabs atop one another. If this setting can be included then it makes the stacking more useful from the get go.
Two other parts to this are that you could then make each stacked tab only have their Icon which gives more space for the user to click on instead of the really tiny tab line. This addition may require rows for lots of stacked tabs or using only the first letter of a site similarly to pinned sites in safari on mac. The other part of this would the be that the rewind feature could be used on the latest opened tab to close all tabs and leave only the originally opened page. This would only apply if the rewind/fast forward is turned on or after hovering over the last tab X button for say 3 seconds.
Take for instance I go to google and search for Arsenal (bottlers i know, i know) –> open arsenal fc site which stacks with icon (no narrative) -> open skysports.com/arsenal it stacks with icon --> open arseblog.com it stacks with icon etc etc up until a limit say of 5 and then any new tabs create a completely new stack with the same limit and the first page becomes the starting point for that stack. The tab stacks would look something like the attached picture and, as mentioned, you would rewind on the last tab in the stack.
Not sure if this is possible or already present somehow but I like the current implementation just that it's a bit fiddly and makes the initial stack process feel disjointed. Hope this can be done.
Keep up the good work!

p.s. syncing with google account (i've dumped chrome for vivaldi) would be great as a lot have mentioned and also lower memory usage on mac because vivaldi does not seem as responsive as chrome or safari (although that may be subjective)

One thing that would be great to see is being able to drag tabs between windows (or drag a tab out to create a new window). When I'm working on two monitors, I frequently will move tabs back and forth between the two depending on what I'm doing at the moment. Having to create a new window and then re-open a page in it whenever I want to split things up or move things around is a gigantic pain, and one of the main reasons I'm still using Chrome/Firefox day-to-day.

Hi! I am a recent convert too. Vivaldi has helped me to use my browser in new ways and I'd like to put in a couple of requests.
I love the hide the UI mode! It's my default setting now, and I love all that I can do from my keyboard!
But sometimes I need to use the address and tab bars. I found and set a keyboard shortcut to toggle the address bar, but it would be great to have a shortcut that could be set to toggle and focus the address bar and separately, the tab bar.
Alternately
I am a big fan of the quick commands menu. It would be nice if there were a way to use it to execute web searches. Maybe something like:
search: <search terms="" here=""></search> ```or just:: <search terms="" here=""></search>
Keep up the great work! -
While we have to use third party mail clients it would be great to make "share by email" button.

-Tabs don't touch the top border of the screen, meaning if you push your mouse all the way to the top to click on a tab you have to scoot down about 2 mm to actually click on the tab (ie compare vivaldi to chrome)
-I'd love a confirmation dialog before closing the window if I have multiple tabs open. In fact, any attempt to close more than 1 tab should have an optional dialog (like firefox, like what chrome has refused to add ever).
-Icon in the top left doesn't behave like a standard windows window. Normally double-clicking in the top left icon closes the window. This is handy because if you have two screens, its easiest to go to either the far top left or the far top right to close a window (same usability issue as item 1, you require too much precision of your users).
-Middle clicking doesn't work as expected. Most of them I'm sure you know but one I would say is probably weird enough to be a bug is that if you middle click anywhere on the screen and then let the button go over a tab, it closes the tab. IE the tab close should respond to a full mouse-down, mouse-up sequence, right now it responds to any mouse-up event regardless of where the mouse-down occurred. Its really easy to scroll up and down a page and end up closing one. -
Hello, I have a few suggestions
First, sorry if my english is a bit bad, it's because I'm not english1- Smaller top-bar
For example, with Chrome, the top Windows bar disappeared, and it's a cool thing because it makes space for the top-bar of the browser (with the URL, tabs, …). So why don't you just delete the "Windows bar" to make more space for the webpage ? And add default buttons (minimize, close, ...) next to the tabs ? I think this would look better, because this is a huge and useless bar (if you put buttons somewhere else)2- YouTube and sound control
A very cool feature, you could have a YouTube support in the tab. For example, you have a YouTube tab, you're in a playlist, and you want to go to the next music in your playlist. So you must open the tab, click the "next" button, and go to your previous tab. It's quick, but it could be quicker
You could have an official support for it. When you hover the tab, you would have a few options for YouTube, like sound control, playlist control, time control, and a small preview of the video. So you don't have to open the full webpage to control it
I also had the idea of a sound control. On twitter.com, the sound of videos/Vines are extremely loud. It would be a cool thing if you could control the sound of a specific tab, because it's still not loud at all on other websites, and if I change the sound of Vivaldi, if I play music on YouTube for example, it became very low and I must change again the volume of Vivaldi. But the volume is loud on Twitter, so I always need to change the volume to keep my ears (because I like them) -
Copy table columns(with Ctrl and drag) like firefox do
-
As an longtime opera-user (since v3) i would like to see :woohoo: :
[ul]
- Boss mode aka hide browser to taskbar to use with the new customizable mouse-guestures.
- Single left-click on bookmarks to open link or folders (i know middle works for creating a background tab).
[/ul]
Congrats to the team of vivaldi, i switched completely from opera v12 to Vivaldi.
-
One feature i really miss from Chrome is the fuzzy search in address bar.
For example if i want to revisit the Vivaldi forum i only needed to type "viv forum" in the address bar and it suggested all the links in the forum that i visited.Having that feature in the Command pallete would also be great.
-
1. Drag&Drop text on Tab bar is the same as Paste&Go the same text on new tab in Chrome. I really miss this feature.
2. Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown to switch between pages. If I set it as custom shortcut, the whole current page is bouncing up and down before switching to adjacent tab.
3. Middle click on NewTab Button behaves as Paste&Go from clipboard. -
@emilcabaj:
Could you add notification when start I download something?
Maybe something like Firefox have.You can set the panel to open automatically on starting a download in Settings, Downloads.
-
Hello!
It would be great if the downloads sidebar could have draggable elements, like in chrome or firefox. That way you can easily move downloads to other folders, or drag a download to an upload form(facebook picture for example).
Thanks!

See other browsers' bookmarks in Vivaldi's bookmarks panel, and interact with them and add them to the bookmarks bar (= Synced bookmarks)
-
Hello
It would be very desirable that when holding the Control Key and clicking on the "Go to the next / previous page", the page opens on a new tab. You could also implement it when clicking the middle mouse button
I would appreciate if the window close button (x) appeared on the left on linux
I noticed there is a bug when adding bookmarks. Sometimes when adding a page, it doesn't show on the bookmarks tab and I have to close and reopen the browser to fix it.
