(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

Ayespy

I would like to see an option to choose wether we want the browser to save our opened tabs at startup or to just launch the home page or the speed dial. I personally don't like the fact that every time I open Vivaldi it restores all closed pages I left. This is especially bad if you are using a computer that more than one person will use.

This option is certain to be offered.

This request has been mentioned and I wish to add my voice to the group.

A 'disable password request' toggle is a MUST.

My on-line banking agreement forbids the use of third party password aggregators or the storying of my password digitally. So it becomes a real pain to constantly click 'no, don't store my password'.

Other browsers allow password save requests to be toggled off.

I really start to excessively use the tab stacking mechanics! However, what slows down my work considerably is that I have to manually move any new tab to a stack.
It would be really great if we could add identifiers/names to a stack and have the right-click option to open a new tab within a specific stack.

Or maybe, as a first step, to open a new tab within the stack to which the current tab belongs.

+1 for SergeA's request to enable a dark background for images.

I still use Opera 12 because of the ability to edit image.css in the installed files and change the background to a dark color. I took a look at common.css, but (perhaps because I'm not a web developer) can't figure out if there's an equivalent change I can make in that file.

@d90pwn:

request quick html code editor in source code like Opera12 . 'inspect element' uncomfortably $=\$ sometimes need to edit a lot of strings in code and apply, to do so in the current editor, you must do a lot of action than opera12 editor..

+1
Yes, the simple HTML source viewer/editor in Opera 12.x and earlier (accessed via Ctrl+U) was/is very nice. It allows one to quickly browse/search the code, make any wanted tweaks, and Apply the changes to see/save the result.

In Vivaldi, Ctrl+U is supposed to open a similar HTML source viewer, but the shortcut doesn't seem to be working (so have to use context menu instead). But it is a viewer only, not an editor, so wanted edits can't be applied to the viewed page.

I also use Dragonfly in Opera 12.x occasionally, but most of its power is way over my head as a non-programmer. The Developer Tools available in Vivaldi look similarly powerful (and very customizable via the settings), but again, mostly over my head.

i'd like to see that "master password" thing on vivaldi.

it's a crucial feature for users like me who shoud share his/her computer with another user. that's why i'm using firefox as my main browser right now.

keep up the good work guys. love the new browser, as an old opera presto user. (:

@jayell:

ability to turn off 'underlining' of links, they are not needed and are a distraction if you have a page with many links displayed

Hmmm. I don't recall seeing links underlined on any site I have visited with 32-bit Vivaldi browser (on 32-bit Win7).

1. Bookmarks drop down menu on the Address Bar with full d&d support

2. Option to remove V-menu button from the left corner

3. Option to remove tabs close button [x]

Hi;
Can you please add a feature somewhere (vivaldi:config?) to block "onBeforeUnload" prompts 100% of the time? Like, to completely disable it at a browser level and override with page closure?

Although at its heart it's a useful feature, it's at best an impediment (YES, I want to close the page, stop asking me) and at worst a tool for spammers ("Click "YES" to WIN $10000!") and I hate it with every fibre of my being.

This seems like the sort of feature a browser for power-users would have. You guys are also pretty much my only hope.
Any chance of it?

Opera-like Tab Stacking (double click on tab to Expand/Collapse Tab Stack)

Well spoken. :lol:

I don't encounter these often enough that it would ever have occurred to me to make such a request. But they are annoying and I support both the sentiment and the request.

Like you don't already have enough in this Feature Request topic.
Please make the "Clone Tab" function retain the browsing history. I use this to follow threads or links I didn't click. You know, clone, hit back button, and click the link you missed.

EDIT: Oh and option in settings to open new tap next to active

Hi all,

The options for customizing keyboard shortcuts are excellent already. I'd be thrilled by a little addon to this feature to assign custom shortcuts to specific URLs (e.g., reassign CTRL+1 from its current tab toggle to instantly load vivaldi.net in the currently active tab). This could be done by adding a button "URL shortcut" to the Navigation menu.

Opera had this feature tied to the speed dial (i.e., CTRL+1 would take you to the first entry in the speed dial) which would be a nice option, too. In any case: Shortcuts that instantly bring on a specific page would be awesome!

I like the option to remove the address bar for more screen, but:

Adressbar stuff:

Add a hotkey to toggle address bar (as seen on status bar), or show on tab hover
Rightclick on tab -> copy URL, PLEASEEE!!!!

Tab stuff:

Add a option to remove tab thumbnails when hovering
Add a option to remove the functionality to drag the tab bar (that one that shows thumbnails) (just disable the behavior)
Open tab next to active, pleeease!!!
Tabs on a group that open link, should autogroup the new tab

Tab stacking:

Set handles to resize each "panel" (website), if is bigger than screen overflow in canvas with a scrollbar (like TweetDeck)
Tab grid is WEIRD may i suggest using flexbox (to wrap container when a odd number of tabs), or some weird grid layout (like js-masonry) should rearrange (drag & drop) which tab goes where

Settings

We want to add multiple hotkeys TOO, (where is the file at least?!?)

THANKS FOR THIS AMAZING BROWSER!!!

basarium

When crash, and reopen, add a menu to "reopen all tabs", or start again, PLEASEEE!
(should be great if you show me a list of opened tabs and letme choose what tab to close before vivaldi runs and crashes again)

My wishlist is very short because you are working very hard to make that great browser. So I think a lot of the wishes that I have will be implemented in the future anyway.
But I hope you are thinking of the possibility to open links in the background. That is a really nice feature I often use!
Thanks for your great work!
Today I've just installed Vivaldi and by now I'm already loving it!

"Open in new background tab is already integrated into the context menu on bookmarks and will, I'm sure, be present for all links before too long. In the meantime, Middle-click on link opens in background, as in most browsers.

Ctrl + Click, or Shift + Click (to select a range of tabs) on the tabs you wish to stack, right-click Collect tabs to stack.

I believe it's time for Vivaldi guys to start to write some manuals/helps, things like this (or like the middle click) are all but obvious for people who never used opera, or a definite opera function.

I would rather they spend their precious time bug fixing and adding new features for a month or two yet. Writing manuals is waste of time until the software is almost finished.

A collection of hints and tips on a blog would be very useful. Anyone seen Tamil yet?
