In v49, one feature from the list have reached the stable channel. It is removed from the list. Its stats were the following:

Rearrange Extension icons on the toolbar

• I don't want to answer: 11
• Not important: 56
• Somewhat important: 99
• Very important: 77
• Must have: 90

I would like to suggest an other new feature: Let drag tabs - reorder tabs- by drag them vertically on tab menu

I will put it on the list on the next update.

There is a nice Opera extension called Policy Control which allows one to control permission to use camera and microphone on a per-site basis (and several other things).

It is already on the list.

Wanted feature

just like chrome create web application / firefox prism/chromeless frame

Opera does not support webapps.

Vivaldi has this implemented natively. So I assume this will not be a problem.

Example: http://oi65.tinypic.com/33wlgr6.jpg

Chrome/ium/Blink extensions compared to old Firefox & Opera extensions are simple, dull, gimmicky and make-believe. Chrome Extension store is a huge junkyard of plugins that moreso record browser and force users to create accounts and put they're stuff on cloud - than do any much else than data harvesting make-believe gimmickys~ brrrh.

I do not have a Google account and I have 3 Chrome extensions in Opera. You do not have to create an account to get those.

Built-in reader mode:  Via extensions
                       As a native function

Built-in reader mode implemented via extension?

In v48, two features from the list have reached the stable channel. They are removed from the list. Their stats were the following:

Screenshot tool (entire page, visible area, selected area)

• I don't want to answer: 9
• Not important: 86
• Somewhat important: 105
• Very important: 56
• Must have: 42

Unit converter in the Search popup (similar to the currency converter)

• I don't want to answer: 14
• Not important: 113
• Somewhat important: 96
• Very important: 44
• Must have: 30

With this list update, the following requests are being added to the list:

• Capture full page (not just the visible area)
• Inline translator in the search popup
• Paste option in the search popup (in editable fields)

Seriously though with the "way of Vivaldi" the outcome is a much more flexible browser than this hard coded stagnation. That in turn opens a lot new possibilities for extension magic.

OK SURE there is good extensions as well

Over at Opera Addons is a much more quality thing going on.

"work OK, except when you click a link in another program."

That needs to be set in registry, it's possible. I don't have a link but there is "guides" on web. I reckon Google might be helpful.

I think Chrome and Opera are gonna do "the Vivaldi!" so to say.

Why do you think it? I really don't see any reason for them to do it.

Google is doing heavy experimenting with GUI.

What would be...? Here I don't see anything that looks like an experiment in Chrome's GUI.

With Chrome as your default browser, if no Chrome windows are currently open, an external link will open a new tab in a new window (plus the previous session's tabs) under the most-recently-used/closed user profile. If one Chrome window/profile is open, the tab will open in that window. If multiple Chrome windows from different profiles are open, it will open the external link in a tab in the most-recently-used (focused) window of the most-recently-used (focused) user profile.

In Opera, external links are always handled by the "default" Opera profile. If that profile has no windows open, one will be opened with the previous session's tabs and a new tab. This is less than ideal.

Opera far outperforms Chrome in not freezing/stalling (especially on certain problematic websites like Trello), but multiple profiles (one or more for work and one for personal) are essential for me. The current work-around is OK, but forcing the user to copy/paste external links any time they are using the non-default browser profile is one area the workaround fails.

Of course browsers need to be progressive web apps as well

Pinned tabs to sidebar? Hmm..

Some features are already being developed. (They will be removed from the list once they reach the stable branch.)

• bookmarks export
• expanding the number of recently closed tabs in the tab menu
• unit converter

The classic lazy loading is new on the list. If you have already submitted your votes, just open the link again, and you can vote for the new additions.

The option, Both, to allow customization, could be considered the allow customization even in Built in mode, as in Opera Presto?
I don't know if you mean this or using an external extension to complete more options.

Extension may provide alternative solutions to the same problem.

Btw, bookmarks export and tabs menu revamp is under development since the last dev build, so those will be removed from the list. I will post stats and modifications in a few days.
