We will be doing maintenance work on Vivaldi Translate on the 11th of May starting at 03:00 (UTC) (see the time in your time zone).
Some downtime and service disruptions may be experienced.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

I think it was mentioned already but I really miss for
Tab Pinning -
I have a suggestion.
In Vivaldi it’s possible to move the tab bar from upper side of the browser to bottom, left or right side. But currently it’s so, when you put the tab bar to left or right side, a switch to tile design occurs.
And I understand the design decision.
Now, my suggestion is, to implement an optional choose to leave it normal (no design switching) and then you have to read it vertical, but it’s space-saving, therefore. Like I said, you can make this an optional feature. I really would like that. Many people have no problems reading text vertically!And in addition i suggest mixing adress bar with title bar, when you have tab bar on any other position than upper side (like tab bar is mixed with title bar currently, when you have tabs on upper side of the browser)
I quickly did a screenshot for clarification what I exactly mean (-> Attachments).

I realize that more Opera features will probably be added to Vivaldi as it goes along, but I thought I'd list what would allow me to start using Vivaldi as my primary browser.
History in panel
Split view in panel
Sorting in panel
File save as web archive (single file) *.mht
right click, paste and go
color schemesAnd I think I should explain why color schemes are so important to me. Vivaldi is primarily black, white, and gray. These colors are indistinguishable from the average web page. I get confused with what's the browser and what's the page. With one exception. The red at the top is a nice touch because it clearly shows boundaries between browser and webpage.
In Opera the side panel has a bluish background. This distinguishes it from the gray scroll bar. I also set the Opera color scheme to Red. The result is I never get lost in the interface. I would like Vivaldi to be as easy to use.

@maletero:
- open in new/background tab
Maybe you knew this but open in background works using the old Opera middle-click-on-link
For some reason it's not (yet) in the right-click menu though (so it's a pain in the bum when using a laptop trackpad…) -
LOCAL sync
Vivaldi <> Explorer , Firefox …
Vivaldi <> Contacts, Notes ...xyz Cloud Sync (iCloud, OneDrive)
Contacts, EMail, Notes etc.?
xyz Cloud may by sync indirekt
- Vivaldi <> with LOCAL - Internet Explorer …
- LOCAL <> with iCloud / Onedrive
Now its in on all my machines and Browsers synced. - Vivaldi specific extras via Vivaldi sync
In may case i use
- Windows (
Opera, Firefox
, IE Vivaldi in the future 
) - iPad & iPhone with safari (no stress)
- iCloud in the browser
Some programms opens IE or Safari, idependent from the User settings.
For bookmarks and browsing my by ok. For contacts, telefon, etc. the only way.
Systemwide work only proper with the system default.Of course, syncing with different services on all machines can be tricky because you can have duplicted entries.
Needs some extra software. -
If nobody has mention it - option to Auto update the browser would be highly appreciated
-
…
- Right click+mousewheel scroll for tab switching,
…
+100500!!!
This is the main feature, i'm waiting!
- Right click+mousewheel scroll for tab switching,

Like it so far but would like to see the following:
Would like to see the following:
Ability to move Tabs Bar below address bar.
Ability to adjust size of Toolbar Icons.
Ability to adjust add, remove and move Toolbar Icons.
Ability to show Labels on Toolbar Icons.
Support for add-ons.Reasons: Mozilla, Microsoft and Google have been making too many cosmetic changes to their software while attempting to convince users that their products are 'cool' rather than making real improvements to functionally. Most users want a software product they are both familiar with and is functional. They don't want one that looks different every time a new version comes out. Most users just want to use it, not spend time learning where everything has been moved. Make the product better, not just different. Let the user have the option to turn the product into something that they like and is easy for them to use. Labels, customization and add-ons do that. In the end, don't be concerned about whether they want it to look like IE 4, FF 3 or Chromium, that doesn't matter. If you want the browser market, give them something they can customize with stable coding and you'll have it.

@al3xst:
Some suggestions from my side:
Tab-Stuff
- Add option to disable tab preview when using the tab-bar vertically (display only the title like in horizontal mode)
- Add tab-stacking for tab-bar in vertical mode
- Make it possible to drag out a tab from a group
- When using many tabs, they get smaller and smaller until u can't even see the favicon -> in firefox the tabsize never changes and you can scroll through them (also add this in vertical mode please^^)
- Fix alt-tab, I don't get the current order oO
Settings
- Add option to never ask, if a password should be stored
- Force the theme to use one color for all sites, instead of picking one from the current tab
Beside all that: Great work! I'm very excited how this project will develop in the near future!
This would make my day! And, please, include "Block content" like in the old opera …
-
- ctrl+shift+l feature to mass download, copy, and review links on page + regex search filter
- cutom search fields on main panel
- 2x click to add new tab, possibility to remove x button
- custom checkbox that we can place somewhere, with disable, enable features like js, plugins, proxy
- remember filed text on inputs while using back button, even after restore closed tab
- mark tabs with sound
- better content blocker, not only by url, but also by class or id of elements
i use custom css to block cookies warnings:
div[id*="cookie"] {display:none !important}
div[class*="cookie"] {display:none !important} - possibility to select anchor text from links, like in opera 12.x, left-right=select, up-down=move
- Modify source (allow to save)
- allow js to use windows clipboard, by adding exceptions to specify sites (so by default cant use it)
- custom useragent for specify sites
- allow to cut embed video from website and put in different window
- blocked content function could allow us to redirect to another location instead of whole block, we would be able to cheat videos and block ads, by redirecting to 1s advertise video file. Now systems could detect ad blocker if you block completly.
Some feauters i use in my opera window from attach
cheers!

I think also include (disabled) by default µBlock can be awesome too
-
Well, the minor functionality with page actions is just pure candy.
What should be quite easy to implement and obvious to use is ability to pin the window on top.
It's ust a minor ultility to watch videos in corner of the screen while working orto take reference etc. -
Probably somebody already mentioned it (i'm too lazy to read whole thread, sorry
) but i would like to have option to enable "plugins on demand". I've been using this option in opera presto since it was introduced, really nice feature, enabling it "removes" most of ads (usually flash) without installing additional extensions. -
I woud like to add paste and go function.

@RRR13:
I woud like to add paste and go function.
ABSOLUTELY!
Pretty sure that's inevitable. Seems to me it was Jon's team that came up with the idea to begin with, and we know Blink can do it, so it seems inconceivable that it would not come to Vivaldi at the earliest opportunity.
I've never even mentioned it as a desired feature because, like private tabs (or windows) I naturally assume it will be along shortly.
-
Just that the function is supported. I never really paid much attention to what work is done in the UI layer, what exactly by the JS engine, and what by the browser engine. I just know that Blink browsers have paste&go, so it can be done in Blink browsers. That's all. Once upon a time, I noticed that the Presto browser had the function, and it didn't seem like anyone else did. Then Firefox (moz) and Chrome (webkit) got it and, for the longest time, IE (trident) never did. I never gave any real though to whether it was a UI thing or something you had to tweak the engine to do - just that browsers on different engines adopted the idea at different times.

As soon as you add Chrome extension support, like Opera Blink and full fledged syncing (not just bookmarks, but also passwords, opened tabs, history, etc) I'll use Vivaldi as my new main browser. Regarding syncing, since I don't think that you are going to release a mobile browsers, it would be nice if you could plug into the existing Google sync infrastructure and sync with that, so that I can access all my browsing data using Chrome on my phone and tablet.
I love what you've done so far. If you add those things I'm sure I'll jump on board

Unless I'm mistaken, I think sync requires a server farm to contain the sync'ed data. You are not syncing between disparate copies of the same browser, but rather syncing multiple copies of the browser to a server, which you have signed into. Makes sense. Unless you turn every single copy of the browser into a server itself, or have the browser build a server on your machine (like the Unite service did), how would your various copies of the browser find each other to sync?

I think that a vivaldi mobile will came surely, if Vivaldi will be successful and after it will be stablized.

Why not ?
A form of peer to peer syncing wold be more than welcome. A personal cloud syncing could be another option.
I mean a generic configuration file/folder meant to be exported automatically in any cloud folder, no matter if dropbox, skydrive or a cloud that runs on owner's device, and then imported and/or updated from a mobile device o from another PC.
In that way the two options, running a Vivaldi infrastructure for the purpose (costly and resource consuming) or using a google's server (relying on big brothers' server is not so amazing) could be avoided.

I think this thread is messy as hell since many feature requests are mixed with discussion about certain features. Please consider closing it. Every feature request should have a own thread so its easier to search for already suggested things and to follow a discussion. This also allows measurement for user interest via replies/views. A great measurement tool would be some kind of up/down vote feature. Just like on Stackexchange.
