New Bookmark, Not New Window
-
is it possible to make that when dragging tabs to the bookmarks sidebar, a new window is NOT created. If you think about it, who needs new windows at all? This is a real degradation and regression. Remember the days when all browsers were single-window. And the window tabs were presented as a world's achievement ? We have been working towards this for decades years. There are as many as 2 or even more tabs in one browser ! Which browser was the first ? FireFox or Opera ? Definitely not Vivaldi, which was not in the project at that time. Someone demands normal work with 100 tabs, one-time not quite adequate requirements about 1000 tabs slip through. Recent achievements -- tiles (as Tile translates there), placing tabs side by side.
New tab groups. You can already give names to these groups.
Windows monitors all my windows - God forbid to bring any window to the edge of the monitor, she will immediately build them at her discretion, without asking the owner whether he needs it or not.
Browsers have reached a new level: separate tabs, separate tiles for tabs, groups of tabs. All within one window. The work has been carried out for a dozen years.
And so, when I drag the tab to the Sidebar, a whole NEW WINDOW opens. What for??? Who asked to take this step back for decades . One browser -- one tab ? Back to the 90s? There are 100 tabs in the window, but you need another window for a separate tab??? For what tasks ?
You yourself have built up browser capabilities that seem to be useful separately, but competing with each other for the user's mouse. If you pull the tab out of its place , the poor tab jumps to neighboring states - to a queue of tabs , a group of tabs, a separate window . A couple of pixels offset is a change in the status of this unfortunate tab. You hold this tab, and you don't know what it will turn into in a second - a frog or a princess. If the first 2 states are useful, then it's time to exclude a separate window as little-used and ultimately harmful.If some renegade needs a whole separate window, he can launch it from a shortcut from the table.

@seregas Hi, it's probably a bug caused by some setting or caused by one of your extensions. There's no need to automatically assume malice and write a whole essay about it
I'm unable to reproduce the same here in a clean profile of Vivaldi 5.3 Stable, Win10 21H2, x64.

@Pesala This bug exist, when i add bookmark in FOLDER

@seregas I believe you, but I still cannot reproduce the issue.
If I drag the padlock icon and drop it onto a closed folder in the Bookmark Panel, the bookmark is added to the top of the list of bookmarks in the folder.
Tested on Stable build 5.3.2679.38 (64-bit)
PS: Presumably, you mean New Tab and not New Window? Best edit the topic title.

@Pesala
at a nearby forum that supports the Russian-speaking part of Vivaldi fans in their difficult battle to be understood from the first time, the phraseological unreality "video is the least useful visual explanation" was invented. Vivaldi's forum is the only forum on the Internet where there is a chronic, and massive misunderstanding by owners of its their exhausted users. -
@seregas So do you mean new tab or new window?
At least here, there is a Russian forum to avoid the language barrier.

@seregas I never even noticed that you posted a link to vimeo.com, because of your rant, which was tldr;
- If you post a video link, it will always be a last resort for me because it takes much longer to watch a 1:16 video than to read a concise title and brief description.
- It assumes that forum users will have a Vimeo account to watch it (I happen to have one, but many do not).
- The music on the video is simply a distraction, so one has to watch a couple of times instead of once to see what is going on.
- Many users will want to open tabs in new windows. That is the default behaviour for dropping the tab on the web page or onto the desktop/second monitor. Calling other users "renegades" because they find the default behaviour useful is rude.
- To bookmark a tab, the usual method is to drag the padlock icon or URL text field.
Edit: I can finally reproduce the behaviour on a restored window. Moreover, I cannot drag the tab back to its original window - the dotted rectangle displays, and the window closes, but the tab does not reopen. The bookmark is created on dropping it onto the folder.
