(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests

Mr.Bean-Laden

Hi,

I have some requests:

First: I would like to see in the next version an option to delete all the recent tabs recently closed (without deleting all you history).

And secondly, I would like a feature to open a link in the same tab rather than opening a new tab. (right-click, open the link in the same tab). This feature was available in the previous Opera 12.x (with Presto engine).

Oh and last thing, there is something that I would see too in the next version: when you have 3 tabs (or more) and you decide to close the third one (or the fifth one), that action gets you back with the last tab viewed, for example the first tab rather the second tab or the next left tab.

Also, clicking a link will open a tab in the 4th or 5th tab rather than in the next of the current viewing tab.

Again, all of these was available with the Opera 12.x

Thank you very much.

Hi,I'm using vivaldi for some time, the idea of colored cards is interesting but sometimes too different colors in my opinion creates confusion. By disabling this feature, however, I find myself cards black. You could introduce a feature that allows you to choose a favorite color for cards? Thanks a lot !!!

Hello. I`m a old Opera user and missing the "Master Password" funktion. Please implement this. Thanks.

Hi,

maybe anybody else mentioned this before…but I love the Optic Tabs like Omniweb has it (and Vivaldi does also).
But If I open lots of tabs, in Vivaldi the tabs get smaller and smaller until you can't use them anymore. Why don't make them "scrollable" with a fixed size as it is in Omniweb ?

I remember another feature from Omniweb (yes, for a long time my favorite browser…):
I think they call it "Workspace": this means that you can take a snapshot of - for example - all open tabs you need for work, for programming, playing...
And you can switch between these workspaces with one klick.
Very easy to use.

Opera 12.17 and earlier had Sessions, which are the same thing. They have been frequently requested for Vivaldi. I expect they will make it back into Vivaldi before too long. Don't expect to see everything from Opera 12, but the team know that we are here because we liked Opera before it changed to something more like Chrome.

Sessions would really help me; I'm hoping they come back.

Start options like Opera 12 would be great. Now Vivaldi restores all tabs opened before last exit.
There should be option to start only with homepage or speeddial.

Another usefull option from Opera 12 is content blocking.in context menu.

It would seem both of these features are certain to come to Vivaldi.

I don't know if someone asked yet or not
1- adding ctr+1 ..9 for changing tabs . thats essential for keyboard guys like me
2- use ctrl + plus and ctrl + minus to change the zoom

add a better search to your forum to prevent redundant question and answers
add a proper feature request page

maybe become opensource and ask for others to help .

1: CTRL-1, CTRL-2, CTRL-3 & CTRL-4 already switch tabs, so what are you asking for?

2: + and - (without CTRL) already zoom (when the cursor is not in a text field), so what are you asking for?

It would be great if vivaldi could have the news tab like in opera browser (the discover tab) (sorry if that was already suggested…)

Can you add a long press right click mouse button menu like in 360 browser?
Here it is an image: i.imgur.com/0yu2NbQ.jpg

How it work?: If I Long press the right click mouse button anywhere. Show up a circle menu with:

Exit Browser button
Go to Home Page button
Go to Speed Dial button
Go to Extensions button
Go to Bookmarks Manager button
Go to Flags or Power user options button
Add page to Speed dial button
Add page to bookmarks button
Add page to "I read later" Or save page button
Browser menu button (Like V button)
Browser settings menu button
Delete Browser history button
Go to Top of the page and go to bottom of the page

Or add an options menu, that user defined what buttons are show in the circle menu.
Copy, paste, paste and go … and with more options.

It is a good idea?

Maybe this feature is already implemented but not documented anywhere.
In latest versions, I noticed I can click on web page icon in address bar and switch on/off specific permissions - Images/Scrips/Plugins/etc.
But I didn't find any setting are those 'Default' values. For example, I would like to disable scripts globally, and manually enable them on few trusted sites. Or disable plugins (flash mostly) on all sites, leaving it enabled on Youtube only.
Searching for text strings, I couldn't find any similar settings in profile, so probably those values are hard-coded

Current Chrome user because currently most stuff sucks more even though I despise the UI. Used to be a dedicated opera user. I stopped using Opera a while ago, and I'd been using an old outdated version I refused to update because each update had made the browser worse, uglier, and gotten rid of features I used all the time. (Same thing is happening with the mobile versions, sadly, the tab switching is getting less and less usable and it works worse and worse, and the Lollipop update on my Note 3 made Classic stop working which I'd been using still because it was the only mobile browser I could find with all the features I wanted.)

So, allow me to make a desperate plea for the feature I mourn the most:

The drop down arrow in the address bar. You know the one. Little tiny triangle to the right, you click it and you get a list of addresses and searches you've typed into the address bar in the past, regardless of which tab they originated from. It was a gloriously useful feature I used constantly. Then they hid it in configurations most people wouldn't even know where to look for, and eventually it vanished entirely. (I looked through the entire list of vivaldi://flags hoping it might be there already, but alas.)

I miss that more than anything.

Right you are.

I think pretty much everything you mentioned is available at: vivaldi://chrome/settings/content
(global settings and per site settings via Manage exceptions … If you want, you can bookmark it for convenience)

For other Vivaldi URLs you might now know about see vivaldi://chrome-urls (forwards to vivaldi://vivaldi-urls, but vivaldi://vivaldi-urls won't always open the first time you enter it in the address bar) and [vivaldi://vivaldi-urls]this thread]([i) for a few more.

Your first post, so welcome!

I know I've seen other requests for that and am quite confident it will eventually be available.

If not, however, the HTML/JS/CSS-based nature of Vivaldi will make it almost infinitely customizable, probably as much or more so than Olde Opera, so I'm sure there will be a way to do it. I don't know what is involved, but see this Vivaldi UI Customization thread for an idea of what is already going on from the user-end.

I'll add my little feature, even if it never gets seen in this massive thread, and even if it's been requested before.

In every other browser, you can quickly close multiple tabs by just spam clicking on the 'X's. In Vivaldi, though, each tab re-positions itself instantly, so you have to move your mouse over each X button to close.

HI, your first post, so welcome!

As an alternative, you can right-click on any tab and close all the other tabs from the context menu.
