(History of) Vivaldi Feature Requests
-
why, drag to create window function is still missing?? It's one of the important features you want to have. I like Vivaldi, but it lacks some things on some fronts. I hope you will add it in the next update, if not I might as well go back to good old Chrome.
-
I don't think it's too much to ask, but it may take a while. The stated aim is to make something as good as Old Opera. That allows me to assign mouse gestures like this to show the bookmarks bar for 5 seconds — just long enough to click a bookmark.
Man, I forgot how customizable Opera 12 was… you're absolutely right!
-
am a big fan of the quick commands menu. It would be nice if there were a way to use it to execute web searches.
You already can. Just use the search engine's nickname (keyword), e.g.
w Vivaldi
to search Wikipedia for articles on Vivaldi.

Just started using the browser about 30 minutes ago, and it's great, but it could definitely use several improvements:
1. Add a "show panel" button on the address bar. I think most of us prefer not to waste space with a status bar or the pointlessly gigantic "panel toggle" button.
2. Add an option to disable tab spacing ALWAYS. See my thread.
3. Make it so that tabs on the left and right are oriented the other way (taller than wide) to save space. Basically they should just be the same as they are on the top and the bottom, except rotated 90 degrees. Seriously, who wants their tab bar taking up a quarter of the window?
4. Move the buttons (Vivaldi, Garbage, and maybe even the new tab button) from the tab bar to the address bar. The tab bar is valuable real estate for us power users that open many tabs.
5. Get rid of the home button. Does anyone even use a home page any more?Of course some people would object to these, so ideally they should be optional.

Hi!
As a (now) former Firefox user, I am really excited about Vivaldi. There are two features that would make it perfect for me. They are…
[ol]
-
The ability to set private windows as the default setting in the privacy settings options (e.g. all new pages open up as private windows/tabs unless otherwise specified)
-
The ability to specify that all new tabs open up as background tabs unless otherwise specified (I know I can right click and choose "Open in Background Tab" vs. "Open in New Tab," but this is an extra step; and if I highlight text, right click, and choose the "search for" option it will still automatically switch me to this tab even if I am not ready to go there yet)
[/ol]
Thanks for your consideration and keep up the great work!

1. The option to remove the top right search bar.
There is an option for this. Just go to Settings > Search, and un-check "Search field in address bar"

I just entered the Vivaldi browserverse and have sung its praises over in the Welcome to the Forum thread, so I won't retread that path, except to say opening Vivaldi was almost like opening my already heavily configured and tweaked Pale Moon or Firefox.
So much of my high-speed, flashing fingers browsing is dependent on configuration of the tab bar (right vertical). Vivaldi already has me 3/4 of the way there, but I am uncertain what Chrome extensions can complete the experience, since few of them address the vertical tab bar scenario. So I'm not sure if this is a new feature request or just a search for an existing solution.
I'm looking for ways to customize the mouse, much like Tab Utilities and MouseControl do in Firefox, so I can right-click in the empty tab bar space to close the current tab or wheel-click to reopen the most recent tab. I know I can use mouse gestures, but that requires three steps compared to one - it may not seem like much, but given the way I daily beat my browser to a bloody pulp streaking through the web (and no, I don't browse in the nude!) and pile up dozens of windows and stacks and trigger multiple links in a page, it can add up. And additional steps multiplied across all those tabs can make browsing feel like trudging through molasses - something I know Vivaldi considers its arch-nemesis.
Are there mouse-tab bar control solutions available or is this something anticipated for future iterations? In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy exploring this astonishing accomplishment (for which I feel a proprietary pride, since my grandmother came from Norwegian stock!) and try to keep Vivaldi from whimpering at my unreasonable demands!

You can already configure mouse gestures, so you can fix it so that the simplest gestures do the tasks that you use the most often. I don't understand why you think it needs three steps to do GestureUp or GestureDown.
Menu customisation may be some way off yet, but I assume that it will come in time.
-
Been keeping a little list of features i want, from most pressing to least-but-nice-to-have:
-
Change button for mouse gestures. I strongly prefer drawing with middle click; I drag with right-click to scroll (via an add-on).
-
Ability to move icons around / hide them, as there's no reason to have to stare at every single installed add-on's icon 24/7.
-
Beyond that, an optional "add-on" bar like Firefox had for icons you occasionally need and want accessible. Preferably one that can autohide until you mouseover ala Puzzle Toolbars Firefox add-on.
-
Paste and go from Ctrl-V, so I can just point to the browser and hit the paste button (Ctrl-V) on my mouse to go to a clipboard URL. I do this frequently when I create new tabs in Firefox. I'm aware of the current paste-and-go shortcut but I'm specifically asking for Ctrl-V shortcut support because changing my mouse button's mapping would break paste in every other Windows program. Edit: Just tried changing the paste-and-go shortcut in vivaldi://settings/keyboard/ to Ctrl-V, I think that may suffice, barring any complications.
-
Ability to change search engine from omnibar. I like to hide the search box but when I do in Vivaldi the UI no longer lets me toggle between default search engine. The Omnibar add-on for Firefox supports this. (Yep, I know about keywords, and use those too.)
-
-
Stop reload button inside the addressbar. It feels wrong besides the back/forward.
-
Will Vivaldi add translation function like chrome contains?
I used to translate pages using translation function build-in chrome in the address bar.
[attachment=3549]trans-2.png[/attachment]SO, will vivaldi add this meaningful function for friends?

@maverick74:
I would like to be able to move elements around, such as the Home Button. That's one of the reasons i never left Firefox for Chrome!!! I can't change the UI to my liking
I want the UI to be customizable, I want to be able to pick up any button and put it anywhere…
(i know it's a big wish... but it's one of those things that won't let me let go of Firefox until i can do this in another browser... I trully hope it will be Vivaldi because it does bring some hope...)
It's not THAT big a wish, as it's been one of the central aims of Vivaldi from the outset.

Woah, Ayespy, you're now Moderator! Congrats! I think after 2900 posts, and 442 thank yous, it's about time, isn't it?
-
This may be a stupid suggestion, but could you implement a button that toggles some kind of "crazy mode" which turns all of the pictures to kittens and every click makes a duck noise??
:woohoo: -

Well, someone seems to think so! :cheer:

Live Session Management, that would've been nice.
Now you can save a session of tabs (strangely there is no hotkey for it) and reopen the whole session later.
It would have been more handy to be able to easily toggle between different sessions of tabs. For instance Work, Home and Study sessions. And instead of like today's option, where you save a full session and have to manually delete a full session, a single tab should be removed from the stored session if it is removed while working in a session. And new tabs should be automatically added.
So a Live session management option, as an alternative to the bookmark like session management that is today.
-
Option to scale sidebar panels.
I can scale any site with ctrl+'+', ctrl+'-', ctrl+mouse_scroll and so, but it doesn't work inside sidebar panels.
I use them for communicators, todo lists and so on, scaling them down would be very handfull future on smaller screens -
Vivaldi need much more work on memory consumption and work with more tabs. I have two Vivaldi windows with about 30 tabs together and Vivaldi is incredibly slow, responding on clicks is in tenths of seconds and more and pages don't load with "dead-chicken-on-plate" black screens. Whole OS is affected. Vivaldi takes cca 5,5GB of RAM - it is NOT NORMAL!
(And I don't care if other crap browsers has same problem, I use Vivaldi).Win7 64bit, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, desktop and notebook

Just started using Vivaldi and I'm amazed!
I'm not sure if it's in the pipeline already, but it would be really nice if there was a possibility to attach the inspector window to the browser window itself, i.e. not open in a new window. That way it's a lot easier to inspect narrower viewports for responsive websites and it keeps the number of open windows down which reduces the pain of switching windows all the time.

Here are some some features that can be added
- Option to enable/disable Startup Page
- Option to customize URL Bar (like add/remove icons & search bar, icon size adjustment)
- Option to pause and restart downloads
- Option to restart the browser without Extensions Enable (In other words Safe Mode)
