(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
I am not sure where to post this, so I decided to do it here.
From this link: https://vivaldi.net/en-US/teamblog/96-snapshot-1-0-430-3-mouse-gestures-for-fast-forward-and-rewind We can read:
[Regression] Smooth scrolling is no longer user configurable (VB-13985)
What does it mean? Am I now unnable to turn the smooth scrolling off?

When a bug number is called out in a changelog, it's supposed to mean it's fixed, not that it's still that way.

a nice feature would be
search in page highlighting after page reload.
currently you have after page reload seeking change so that the result is highlighted
other browsers are not able to do it also
-
And also… Make something with THIS, really fast, because losing passwords despite the user's own backuping will be very bad advertise. I don't know how many users know about this and relies on own backups or restored data from dead disc or whatever only.¨
I don't see this feature (Chromium…) as brilliant safe and privacy feature like as unconsidered path to fail.
PS: Better will be feature to save and store passwords in file, much people don't want send their passwords to someone else servers (synchronize).
-
Make –process-per-site an officially supported option, especially for reloading browser sessions.
Also allow combining all tabs (regardless of site) and all extensions into a single process to save even more resources on constrained systems.
Add Quick Commands for Enabling/Disabling Javascript/Plugins/etc. like Opera's F12 menu.
Add a privacy option for disabling HTTP-Referrers for third party sites / for everything.
Add support for the Windows taskbar menu (that opens by right clicking the Vivaldi taskbar button).
-
Please let still address filed focused on new tab with Speed Dial. If I have new tab opened and alt-tab to any other application and then alt-tab back to Vivaldi, automatically start typing and later I see that address field was not focused.
Edit:
- Add possibility for disable plus button next to tab on Tab Bar
- If I middleclick (click by middle mouse button) on tab for closing it cursor change to four-way cross, but only if I middleclick on preview part. If I middleclick on name-part of tab cursor stay as arrow. Let it be arrow every time and do not change it to cross.

About Keyboard Shortcut
It would be great if the shortcut function is invalid on specific URL.
For example I wanna use shortcut of Google Spreadsheet but Vivaldi's shortcut get priority and it bothers me.Sincerely
You may be able to do this from outside of Vivaldi using a keyboard macro system. AutoHotKey for Windows, AutoKey for Linux, Automater for Mac.

- It should be possible to create bookmark groups so you can load a Group of sites at the same time.
Saving and loading of sessions is already possible. You can also load a bookmark folder of up to 20 tabs at once time.
Firefox has something (don't remember what) that adds Load All Bookmarks In Tabs as the last entry when a bookmark subfolder is displayed inside the Bookmarks drop down. That would kind of do what you want and would be nice to have anyway.
I have all my banking links in one bookmarks subfolder in Firefox and I can open them all in tabs using this feature when I am making sure all my financial stuff is up to date. Also useful when I save a bunch of related shopping links and want to look at them all at once.

I think this has been requested before, but I can't find it.
The bookmark manager displays folders in a tree which is necessary for organizing a lot of bookmarks. That part works great, but when I try to add a bookmark, it displays all the folders as a flat list. This is almost totally unusable because I have many nested folders of bookmarks and some even have the same name like "howto" which can only be identified by their position in the bookmark folder tree.
The Add Bookmark dialog should show the folders as a tree exactly the same way the regular Bookmarks display works so that it is possible to navigate to/search for/identify the right folder to add the new bookmark into.

When I click on a link in the browser, there is often a long (3 - 10 seconds) delay before the link starts loading. Once it starts loading, the address bar becomes a progress bar (a bit hard to see as others have noted) that tells me something is happening.
I assume that the delay itself is caused by factors external to Vivaldi - like the time it takes for the web server to respond.
What I would like is for some indication to appear immediately to let me know that Vivaldi has received the request and is working on it. Without this, my tendency is to think that nothing is happening and I often click on the link repeatedly until something visible occurs. This wastes system resources and often causes multiple identical tabs to be opened unintentionally. I.e., It's really annoying.
It just needs an "I'm working on it" icon or indicator to appear (and to go away when it's done).

3rd-party fix https://vivaldi.net/en-US/forum/all/8453-bundle-js-modding

I would like to be able to set keyboard shortcuts for Navigation Left, Up, Right, and Down (what the arrow keys currently do). The shortcuts are already there for Spatial Navigation, and it would be nice if I didn't have to install Vimium to configure these to hjkl. Even if we couldn't unmap the arrow keys, it would still be nice to be able to add these mappings.

How about a Torrent downloader like torch as well as a audio/video grabber?
screencastify (from chrome) works pretty well as a video grabber.

@crypto_bird:
Perhaps, to change up the typical bookmarks thing, we should be able to tag our bookmarks. for example, I might have vivaldi's website bookmarked with the tags #browser, #mail, #forum, or something like that. This would be great for opening bookmarks in new tabs with the command palette. Right now, if I want to open a bookmark from the palette, I have to remember the name or nickname of the website, but if you could type in "design" and see all of your bookmarks that were tagged with design, that would make the bookmarks and the command palette coexist and play off of each other really well.
I use tags extensively in Firefox to find bookmarks and to handle the frequent case of a bookmark fitting in more than one category. I really miss this in Vivaldi.

Hi. Finally some JS bugs which prevented me from using it on my job disappeared!)
The only thing I miss now is searching a clipboard content by middle-click.
(It exists in Opera 12x)Thank you for all your efforts!
PS. one more thing! when you search, it should open a new tab!!! (saint Opera style)
P.P.S. the last thing (I promise:) - right button pressed + scroll should go through tabs (saint Opera style) -
Developer Tools:
- allowing Dev Tools to be shown in the same window instead of another or in the web panel
- emulator of mobile devices
- Transform 3D: could be like the feature in firefox that displays all the objects and their layers
Web Panel Support:
- Developer Tools
- Bug Fix: Scaling the web panel is buggy, the border doesn't follow the cursor 1:1 (all OSes)

Hi everyone!
A feature that I want to ask for is not very critical but it would be nice to have it.
Is it possible to change a Developer Tools icon to something other than the Vivalid browser icon? It is a bit misleading when you see two almost identical icons and you should remember which icon is the browser itself and which one is its dev tools.Let me add a screenshot:
I think it will be nice to change current Dev Tools icon to more distinctive one.
Thanks. -
Hi !
It would be great to have the ability to open all the bookmarks in bookmarks bar (without folders).
And be able to right click on a bookmark in a bookmarks bar folder to open a menu instead of opening the site.Thanks

Folder for temporary downloads
At work I'm using a lot of files for only opening them and working them temporarily. For example only opening and viewing and printing documents and opening large ISO files and burning them via burning software. Everytime in Opera I get dialog "Open or Save" and I only Open downloaded files. File will be downloaded and onep in default software for this filetype.
It is perfect, because I have also in Opera sets folder for downloaded files for files, which I want really download and save, not only opening them.
So I have both folders, Download is clear for downloaded files and temporary_downloads for opening files. Temp folder is cleared manually time to time.
BUT! In Vivaldi (and every Chromium browsers) are nothing like temporary download folder. Its necessary for me, I cannot use Vivaldi at work, because I should have one folder for every downloaded and opened files and it will be mess, anarchy and mess again. It is not good and usefully. Please, make something with it.
Thanks.

- Mouse gestures sensitivity. In Opera 12, at close tab gesture, just 5 pixels to the right was enough to close the tab, which made navigation more comfortable. In Vivaldi threshold is higher, so it often happens to me that the new tab is opened instead of closure. Please change it or add an option to set sensitivity.
- Possibility to remove the home button from toolbar.
This one is ANNOYING and makes the mouse gestures almost useless for me (which was actually one of the main selling points for me)
