Can any browser out there, Vivaldi or otherwise, take the tabs of a window and save the corresponding list of URLs so I can reopen that window of tabs at a later date? That’s one essential feature I want from a browser, I’ve grown to desire more over the years, but for some strange reason, no browser I’ve seen out there allows you to treat sets of URLs as such.

You can do that with stock Chrome, no extensions needed. Bookmarks->Bookmark all, then a bookmark folder has "Open all".

Was hoping to save to a file, (call it a project file) that can then be subject to git versioning, retrieved later and suddenly it’s all back where it was, without using bookmarks.

My interpretation of your comment is to literally save a list of URLs (in plaintext or html) This plugin has "Copy all to clipboard" button which does that https://github.com/antonycourtney/tabli

That would be great if I could then open that file using a browser which would then load up those URLs.

My idea is inspired by the way IDEs keep track of a system of associated files. If browsers could manage a project file that stores tab and window data that can be saved and restored, without using any built in bookmark feature so that the project file can be saved and stored in git, then I’d be deliriously happy about this.

Too bad the founder was kicked out for political reasons. It would have been nice if FF could have focused on technology, while being agnostic to the politics.

He wasn't kicked out -- he resigned. And it was for political reasons that stood to directly affect an unknown number of his employees, the people whose lives would be directly affected by his donation to the anti-gay marriage thing; if those people raise a stink because he's trying to use government to interfere in their lives, I can't fault them. "I'm going to use my wealth and power to negatively impact your life…

That's not entirely accurate, he was forced out

What’s your OS? You can do that on macOS via AppleScript. Works on Safari, Chrome, and possibly Vivaldi. Won’t work on Firefox because they don’t support AppleScript.

No, he wasn't. He wasn't accepted as CEO by enough employees, but he could have stepped down and retained another position in the company, like CTO. Even he recognizes that Mozilla leadership wanted him to stay on board, but he chose to quit and pursue his own project. Which is fine. It just doesn't mean he was "forced" out any more than the people who quit because they couldn't stand him being CEO were "forced" out.

...and yet still no way to customize the toolbar. Am I seriously the only one out there who can't stand having a pointless Home Button taking up space?

you can do some customization if you are willing to dive into CSS and ugly React 1MB of slow hackfest mess.

My biggest gripe with Vivaldi is that the first option when right clicking a link is to open in new tab and focus it. This seems like a small issue, but this is different to all major browsers which has open in new _background_ tab as the default option. There is 10 years of muscle memory for me to overcome to switch and I just can't do it.

This being first option is a non issue. Not being able to customize right click menu like in Opera IS a deal breaker.

Sadly, Vivaldi is not an open-source web browser[1]. [1] https://help.vivaldi.com/article/is-vivaldi-open-source/

Until the headline reads "Vivaldi source code released", the browser is irrelevant. They really need to get their act together on this point, there's no excuse for a closed source web browser in 2018.

Did any of you even bother to read the entry behind that link?
