Solved Sync Workspaces

@jane-n what sense to do smth, and do in only on a half, vivaldi devs???

As I tried Vivaldi 3 years ago, it was raw and not ready to use browser, as now. Nothing has changes, unfortunately.
I really like the idea, and community, but... again came back to Firefox and Opera

The reality is, new browsers such as Arc and Sigma do sync workspaces. So that you have this continuous browser experience no matter what device you use. This simple yet powerful implementation is one of the main reasons people are talking about and switching to these browsers.

I tried them and like a lot, but I came back to vivaldi because I can't get use to vertical tab management.

For now, Workona is the workaround, but would be nice if there was native syncing of workspaces.

I'm very new to Vivaldi, recently coming from Safari and Chrome environment. I'm in a steep Vivaldi learning curve right now. I've got a few questions for anyone out there who would be kind enough to direct me to answers for these... 1) This may be a bit naive of me but, does one have to go through the syncing process every time you switch between machines? That seems inconvenient and time consuming. I'd be glad to post this next question to a more appropriate thread...2) I've been experiencing issues with auto-fill for online forms (not passwords) ie: amazon, or any pages which require one to fill in your stored name, address, phone, etc. This function is not working at all. I hit "fill in", but the field remains blank. Thanks.

Firefox's Tab Containers take Workspaces one step further. Or maybe better said, Firefox's Containers combine the ideas of Vivaldi's Workspaces and separate logins.

The UI for Firefox's approach isn't as elegant, but the functionality is superior. Well, it's superior depending on how you look at it. Each Firefox Container is truly a container ... think of it as an entirely different browser. Or a different Vivaldi login. Log into google in one Firefox Container and the other containers know nothing about it.

The biggest issue with Firefox Containers is that the UI is just not great at the top level. But it's handy to right click on a link and say, "open this in a different container" or even a tab ... right click on a tab and "reopen in some other container".

Anyway. There're things I like about both approaches (Vivaldi's and Firefox's).

ALSO! Firefox containers don't sync. So frustrating. :

You have created a feature I have come to love and rely on, I however I think its a major oversight not to build in sync, it appears half based. If I move I have to spend ages recreating all my workspaces, which is annoying especially if I have spent time adding my own icons. I even have my workspaces correspond and sit on virtual desktops, so all I have to do is change workspace and it goes to that virtual desktop, thus allowing me to focus on the job at hand.
Please add sync and if you could more closely link it to virtual desktops that would be awesome.

I restarted using Vivaldi today for stock trading course as it nicely allows groupings of 4 charts per screen with workspaces. It would be wonderful if these workspaces can be synched between (for me) Windows PCs. Thanks .. enjoying the browser and its capabilities!

If you are building a browser, then Workspace and open/sleeping tabs syncing across Vivaldi implementations can be an after thought.

If you are building a better user experience, than Workspace and open/sleeping tabs syncing across Vivaldi implementations is essential, IMHO!

Please tell us, you see the light. And ty for a pretty good UX so far!

@loikawhaticando Tabox is also good

ElijahBeGood

Would also loveeee to be able to sync workspaces

dada051

I miss so much this feature (probably the only one that I miss)

ne0byte

I would love to have this implemented
it'll improve our workflow 100%

This is a must. For example, i have a Work workspace. If i can sync it, ti would make my life so much easier...

dalinar

also please update sync to actually sync everything important.. e.g.

themes and customizations of themes and appearance
all settings that you can change, add to, etc in the settings dialog
all command chains and their keyboard shortcuts
all keyboard shortcuts

@brokenmold I thought the same! im actually quiet shocked that synching workspaces is not a thing, it makes using vivaldi quiet obsolete, because every other advantage, you can have with add ons in other browsers too (even unsynchable workspaces)

wanzhiyu

When will this feature come?

Hadden89

@wanzhiyu Vivaldi never gives ETAs for features. But the pipeline tag could mean several months.
No guarantees though.

I'm also in favor of synchronizing workspaces. Once you've tested workspaces, it's hard to do without them.

I've tried saving a session (tab + workspace) and copying the files to the other workstation, but the result isn't right (no tabs in the workspaces on the other workstation).
