(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

Add a "show password" button in Password Manager menu, sometimes i can' login automatically and I need remember my password, then if I could look at it, find it, would make it easier.
And a supports for Password Manager recognizes when a site there are more than two logins and shows it to the user for he selects among the logins he will use.
On bookmark icon menu, makes a difference between main folders and subfolders.

Speed Dial: presently it doesn't work but even when it does I don't feel like page thumbnails are the way to go.

OSX used to have a feature where you could turn a section of any webpage into a widget: http://osxdaily.com/2013/08/19/make-dashboard-widget-web-page-mac-os-x/

This would be better for speed dial images. If you want just the website logo then when you create a new dial you drag a rectangle around the logo. If instead you want your dial image to be the odds on your bookies' webpage then you drag the rectangle around the part of the webpage that has the odds. For newspapers select the main headline, and so on. Vivaldi can then check the website on a sliding scale (like how gmail checks pop3 accounts) to see how often the content gets updated, whether that be everytime a new tab is opened, or less than once a day.

I really want the inspector not to be in a separate window. I frequently forget that I have one open and it covers up precious screen space.

Thumbnails are fine
(and they do work since the last update or so, so you may want to get one of the latest versions, or otherwise see why it does not work for you)

But your suggestion looks extra cool. Probably not high priority, but a definite must I say.

Vivaldi meet all my needs right now except for three features.

#1: The ability to use Unity Web Plugin. It is required for some of the games I play. Currently it is working on the Mac (10.10.5) version of Vivaldi, but not Windows (7).
#2: The ability to open the pages saved on your speed dial with a keyboard shortcut like in Opera 12. With commands such as CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc.
#3: Being able to edit the speed dial thumbnails (the square previews of the pages on the speed dial page) without having to go to /users/username/AppData/Local/Vivaldi/User Data/Default and opening the Bookmarks folder and editing file. Which I might add does not work on Mac, only Windows.

Perhaps the first one is just a bug, could be.
There is also one more feature that would be nice. Being able to open every page in a bookmarks folder at the same time.

It isn't a bug. It's because of Google deprecating NPAPI (which Unity uses) and it's affecting Vivaldi because of it being based off Chromium. You'll probably have to play them offline or install Firefox.

@Alex__

1. Vivaldi settings > Tabs > Check "Remove Tab Spacing in Maximized Windows." Also toggle the status bar if you haven't already.

5. Paste this into your address bar: "vivaldi://settings/fonts" Scroll down to "Encoding."

6. Use the bookmarks manager in the sidebar or on the new tab page for now.

7. Go to Vivaldi settings > Appearance > Bookmark Bar Display > Make sure "Text and Icon" is checked.

@TurkishCoffee

Paste this into your address bar: "vivaldi://settings/fonts"

I'm hoping since no-one has said no to the amazing start bar, that it's still a possibility. Not likely for the beta, but maybe in the future? I have my fingers crossed! :silly:
@noshankus:

I'm still hoping for the amazing start bar to make an appearance! Please oh please oh pretty please!!! :woohoo:

Kirikirasert

Then how come it works on the Mac version of Vivaldi? Shouldn't that affect both platforms?

embryo

Some thing that I'm waiting:

Shortcuts for extension's actions
Minimum font size
Individual Edit Site Preferences
Something visible for downloading progress (a pop-up or an indication somewhere)
Block Content on page
RSS (but I thing that needs Mail)
User mode CSS

Remedy

@pedralm:

Feature request:

Add right-click on image > image properties just like Opera had to get detailed information on a picture (like aperture, camera make, exposure, iso, focal length, etc - when available).

This.

Jargonius

I would love to have many features but here are just a few.
1. The ability to highlight text and have it populate the quick commands text box.
2. The option to open new tabs in the current tab stack they are opened from.
3. The ability to drag and drop the icons all over the place like in Opera.

vonGlower

A few things I would like to have implemented:

[ol]

Ability to press Ctrl+Shift+V in the search field (not only the address field) to automatically hit Enter on what you are searching for
Keyboard shortcuts for speed dial entries (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 etc.) like in older versions of Opera
Show download speed in download manager, not only progress of the download
When staring to type an address in the address field, get suggestion to go to the main site in stead of some subsite you have visited once and which is stored in the cache
Support for video playback on Twitter. I constantly get an error message saying "This browser does not support video playback
[/ol]

@embryo:

Minimum font size

vivaldi://chrome/settings/fonts > scroll down to "Minimum font size."

@embryo:

Individual Edit Site Preferences

@embryo:

Something visible for downloading progress (a pop-up or an indication somewhere)

What's wrong with the download panel?

@embryo:

Block Content on page

Use uBlock, Adblock Plus, or some other ad blocker. Vivaldi also has a built-in content blocker which you can enable from the Page Actions dialogue, but I wouldn't really say it's ready to compete with third-party extensions.

@embryo:

User mode CSS

That's already possible. See this post.

batmaster

Command "Duplicate page" should duplicate whole page with its "History" like in Old Opera.
Duplication is exact copy not only opening last page in new tab.
(Its useful in case if you want left page as is with possibility to go back in time later and on duplicate page go back for few steps and then chose "another way" of surfing.)

swrobel

Find as you type like Firefox supports it (Opera used to support it by pressing / and typing, but I like the firefox way where you just start typing your search terms)

blupp

I would like to see the option to

turn off the visual progress bar inside the address field.

That thing is really distracting.

Numbers alone would do it. (already-loaded-kB / page-size-kB).

@blupp:

I would like to see the option to

turn off the visual progress bar inside the address field.

For now you can do that with some custom CSS. See the short guide below.

Windows: open directory %localappdata%\Vivaldi\Application\1.0.249.12\resources\vivaldi\style
–- Linux: open directory /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/resources/vivaldi/style/
Open "common.css"
At the very top of the file, add:```
@import "custom.css";

5) Paste this code into the file:

.pageload-indicator {
display: none !important;
}

Vivaldi will need to be restarted after changes are made to these files.

Ice007

Disable Tooltipps: Is that possible? (can´t find as "option)

If not - would you please think about it?

Sinope

F12

Block or allow Javascript, Cookies, Proxy, Referrer etc. on the run.

Managing Notes.

There never was a proper way for backup and saving notes in Opera (but to backup whole notes.adr). I wish I could save folders and probably import them again, similar to the handling of email-backups.
