Based on Chrome's open-source components (Chromium), but with real-browser functionality added.

Spectacular. It has all the pieces missing from Chrome. I'd strongly consider switching to it from Pale Moon if it had proper ScrapBook X support.

The bookmark sidebar:

• Right-click does not have a copy hotkey

• There's no way to work with multiple bookmarks.

--

• Cannot alt-scroll to scroll faster.

• Can indeed move the sidebar to the right

  • See also https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/17645/use-only-side-panel-div-container-in-vivaldi/15

• Fucking thing forced itself as my default browser somehow.. and Pale Moon is also set as the default. The fuck. Uninstalling.

• When re-bookmarking something, there is a 'delete' feature. I want a hotkey.

  • I can tab six times, or shift-tab four times.

• Some fonts are awful.

  • The top tabs
  • The location bar
  • When bookmarking, the location field
  • The bookmark sidebar, a bookmark's date.
  • .. likely anywhere there is a small font.

How to copy Vivaldi settings ∞

Copy this folder:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default

I migrated my settings from Windows this way. Since NTFS is always chmodded 777 for Linux, I also decided to fix permissions for Default:

\chmod  -type d  -exec  \chmod 700 {}  \;
\chmod  -type f  -exec  \chmod 600 {}  \;

I hadn't used Vivaldi on Linux yet, and don't care about any passwords, extensions or bookmarks on Windows. I see that the bookmarks did get copied.

oh my god this is amazing

Feature requests:

• Focus on the search field when opening bookmark sidebar

• Feature: Search through hotkey settings

  • 2017-11-24 - Oh, I found it when testing on Linux.

• The left panel should hide. Why would I want a vertical bar wasting space?

  • Custom configuration CSS might do this.
• What the hell is with the per-tab colouring? Oh, it's "Accent Color from Active Page".
• Cannot control-shift-pageup / control-shift-pagedown to change tab order. Sigh.
• Cannot control-shift-t to restore a tab when in private mode.
• Cannot alt-scroll to skip multiple rows and scroll faster.

• Is there a way to move the sidebar stuff to the right? I read form left-to-right, and so I use web pages on the left and have the stuff on the right for reference only, and not as the primary interest.

Bug: Theme editing colour-selector popup ∞

1. vivaldi://settings/themes/
2. Edit a theme
3. Edit a color

4. Click the bottom-right "paintcan" icon

The popup opens at a position which might be correct if it weren't vivaldi://settings/themes/ but were alt-p (regular preferences window). But it then bounces to a new location after a delay.
