(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
First of all, I would like to thank you guys for envisioning to recreate Old Presto Opera browser I loved the most. I'd appreciate it if you consider following features in future iterations:
1. Hyperlink text selection without help of any extension or keyboard shortcut same as like Old Opera.
2. Powerful pop up blocker on a par with Opera Presto.
3. ' Open with…' context menu option to open web pages in other browser/s. I'd suggest you to consider other programs besides browser/s and would like to have that menu in tab context menu too. I'd appreciate it if you consider support for Portable apps (browsers, other programs etc.)

Right clicking on a link and being able to choose 'open in background tab'. I don't want to have to click 'open in new tab' and it take me there straight away as I may want to stay on the original tab.
Thanks

After a few days of use, here are other suggestion feature request, that has probably already been made, but still, in that case it'll add weight to it :
- Ability to start the browser on a blank page or the speed dial, and not keep the previous session. (if it's already there, sorry :oops: but I wasn't able to find it in the settings dialog… )
- (more of a suggestion) Having all cookies listed in the settings is nice, but the list sure grows fast. Would it be possible to open it in another window (and hide it in the settings panel) if it exceeds a defined threshold ? It would make the settings panel more clear in my opinion.
Especially if site preferences, or at least, default content policies (JS, images, css....) get added to settings.
-
- remember spell checker language by site
-
- Open a new tab with mouse gestures, like Opera, It's very useful.
-
I really like this new browser.
The only two things I miss:- open link in background tab
- default zoom-level
-
How about adding bitcoin support as a native feature ? this would
1. give access to a large , young, very tech-savvy & loyal user-base to help kickstart vivaldi adoption
2. also gives a very important competitive advantage against other browsers since its clear that digital payments infrastructure will get built onto the WWW & Internet much much sooner rather than laterexact platform/protocol to be supported ( bitcoin or ethereum or ripple) can be studied/observed for a while and then decided, but putting the foundations in place at this stage, and signalling the intent to have this feature in vivaldi will be a key win !
@vivaldi team / fellow forum users : please do let me know your thoughts/views on this !
-
Mouse gestures are one of the most imporant aspect of browsing for me, current ones are OK but what I miss is the Right-click+Scroll wheel Tab-switching!
Please add this so I can switch to Vivaldi when it goes stable, thank you! -
Thank you to Jon Von T!
This thing is an awesome start. Congrats to the entire team.
Wish list:
- Ability to install in dropbox so that it stays updated across many computers. I currently have O12 in dropbox (with cache outside on c drive). love it - a few sync issues, but i can deal with it.
- Download byte indicator, txt and images
- Ability to put address bar at bottom of screen.
- Use external editor/src viewer.
- A high quality bookmark manager
- Quick list bookmarks. something that could lock to a toolbar.
- Bing as a default search engine. (yes, I know the MS and O history
- An toolbar. I love O12's. I use it constantly. Chrome/Opera 20-whatever, is like throwing out the anchor to slow down.
- Make tabs lager for bigger screens (wider)
- Ability to change browser settings on a per site basis (cookies, agent, referers etc)
- Disable animated gifs on a page basis.
- A full blown password manager. (like keepass or something - include sites that are ajax/etc that dont work. So that I don't have to use an external pass manager any more)
- click on tab to minimize or switch to last tab.
- re-load page after x minutes
- speed dial - meh, never ever liked it. I know i am in minority.
- Lazy tab loading
- block content (ad blocker)
- page size in title bar.
- CTRL-Z - reload last closed tab.
- Ability to remove search bar.
- Native look-n-feel to whatever system platform it's on.
-
For Ubuntu 14.04 I miss these things:
- Selecting multiple bookmarks (e.g. to update their previews or e.g. move them between folders)
- Shortcut for cloning a tab
- Customizable background of Speed Dial
- Selecting multiple tabs (e.g. to close them at once)
- Address bar autocomplete function
- Better czech localization (I could help with translation)
- Ctrl + Shift + T (opens last closed tab) function
- Extensions
- Option to hide search bar
- Newer version of Flash (v11 is too much buggy to be safe to use)
- Page translation option
- Option to disable remembering passwords
- And finally garbage can icon could delete history (as author of this topic mentioned)
-
Here is main features I would like to see bringed back from Opera:
CTRL+Z to open last closed tab
mouse rocker gestures
RSS reader (a lot of work, I understand, but…)P.S.: you are the best!!!
-
We need to be able to change the download folder. I don't save anything to my C: Drive which is an SSD. I'm not one bit impressed there is not way to change this in your browser.
We also need a paste and go option when we paste an address in the address bar. I love this feature and can't live without it.I would like to see a feature to easily grab items out of the cache and save them. An older version of Opera allowed this then they changed it.
I also agree a we need to option to change the skin of this browser., I find white to harsh for my eyes. "to bright"
An pop up blocker would be nice. This is one of the reasons I love FireFox. Adblck plus. awesome!I think you need to make this browser mores customizable to the user. At the moment the options are pitiful although the use of speed dials and bookmarks was a nice touch.

Ubuntu/Linux Mint repo?
Have you planned to create a Ubuntu/Linux Mint repository so the users of this operative system could update automatically it's browser?
-
+1 to the open last closed tab. It's useful and missed from others browsers
-
I hope someone will read this and will change it.
I like Vivaldi, I had no expectations before but I have to admit that I this is what I need for browser.
What I do not like? :Bookmarks:
There could be some another window where I can organised it (for example after import). Chrome has good organisation tools or however to call it. but the window with bookmarks on the left is good, really good.
Also it would be great if I could move bookmark card in Speed Dial. I mean I just grap the bookmark and put it to another folder, and than, after I will be done with organisation of all of my files, I could block this "function". But If there were a extra tool´s window for bookmarks, this graping and moving card in Speed Dial wouln´t be necessary.So far (after 24 hour of using) I have the biggest trouble with bookmarks.
–--and Nice job

All the old Opera 12.xx features I hope will be in the future Vivaldi and also some new features like visual bookmarks.
-
I miss the soft scrolling of web pages, just like in the old opera 12
-
I'd like Bookmarks to not assign (waste) letters on Bookmark Page… and Manage Bookmarks…
In explanation,I very much like the Opera feature of bringing up a bookmark by access key. Unfortunately, Opera wastes the letters "B" and "M." For instance, making a Baseball folder is unavailable due to the wasted "B" in Bookmark Page…
I realize it's standard to assign letters for menu options, but it really defeats the purpose in Opera bookmarks where I assign letters. So my suggestion would be to make the first two options "clickable" only.
I'd also like the ability to make a bookmark access key letter permanent. That's because a new bookmark can take the assigned letter of a bookmark I use frequently and don't want to change. For example, if I have a Tennis folder or bookmark, I don't want that letter to change when I add a bookmark.
-
When using two monitors, I'd like Vivaldi to open full-screen in the second monitor (the one not designated as the primary monitor). This is a Mac request–I don't know whether this would be a problem in Windows, etc.
-
FULL tab background colors could be considered.
