(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
Just now using it noticed that it is uncomfortable not to have pinned Downloads panel. I don't know if downloads have finished. I did several of them and after starting the next download the Downloads section was automatically closed. Please, make it possible to pin Download panel for it not to close after starting the downloading next file.

My requested features :
5. Gesture : Drag Mouse down while holding right click to open a new window
Don't know much about others experiences, but for me this is very important feature. One of very few gestures I ended up using all the time and It's really hard to drop once you get used to it.
-
Having an optimized full-screen mode would be cool. Like when you hit a corner of the screen, it shows the address bar, and take it away after a time. Every browser has a full screen mode but they never provide a good way of using it.
-
I would really like to see Kiosk mode.
-
- 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..
