Next Vivaldi release to feature customizable context menus
Vivaldi released a new snapshot of the upcoming Vivaldi 3.4 today to the public. It is a development version, and this particular version expands the browser's customizing capabilities further.
Vivaldi Technologies introduced menu editing options in Vivaldi 3.1, released earlier this year. The editing was limited to the main menu of the browser that is displayed when users activate the Vivaldi menu button in the interface.
Users can use it to add and remove menu items from that menu; if you never use commands such as Open File, Fullscreen, or Help, you can remove these to streamline the menu. Similarly, it is possible to add new commands to the menu that you would like to use and get better access to.
The new snapshot of the upcoming Vivaldi 3.4 introduces support for editing context menu items. These menus are displayed by the browser when you right-click on elements in the browser's user interface. Context menus differ depending on the element the right-click is performed on, e.g. you get a different menu when you right-click on a tab or a tab stack.
You find the new editing options under Vivaldi Menu > Tools > Settings > Appearance. Scroll down on the page that opens until the Menu Customization entry is displayed.
There you select the menu that you want to customize, e.g. Vivaldi Button Menu, Bookmark Bar Context Menu, or Tab Context Menu; this displays the menu items that are displayed currently, and options to remove them, add new ones if available, or rearrange the order of the menu.
All that is done via drag & drop, and thus very comfortable. To rearrange an item, drag & drop it to its new location. Right-click on an item to delete it or to rename it. You can use the "restore default menu" button to reset the menu if you want to start fresh.
The following menus can be edited in Vivaldi 3.4:
- Vivaldi Button Menu
- Horizontal Menu
- Bookmark Bar Context Menu
- Bookmark Bar Item Context Menu
- Panel Bar Context Menu
- Panel Bar Item Context Menu
- Tab Bar Context Menu
- Tab Bar Item Context Menu
- Tab Stack Thumbnails Context Menu
- Tab Trash Can Context Menu.
The ability to edit right-click web element context menus is missing, but it seems likely that Vivaldi Technologies will add that option in a future version of the browser as well.
Classic Firefox used to support extensions that allowed Firefox users to edit context menus as well, but the functionality is no longer supported by the APIs that Firefox supports today.
You can download the latest snapshot from the Vivaldi site.
Now You: Would you like to edit the menus in your browser of choice?
Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
When will you put an end to the mess in the comments?
Ghacks comments have been broken for too long. What article did you see this comment on? Reply below. If we get to 20 different articles we should all stop using the site in protest.

No surprises here. This is just the beginning really. I cannot see a valid reason as to why anyone would continue to use the platform anymore when there are enough alternatives fill that void.
I’m not sure if there is a point in commenting given that comments seem to appear under random posts now, but I’ll try… this comment is for https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/28/reddit-enforces-user-activity-tracking-on-site-to-push-advertising-revenue/
My temporary “solution”, if you can call it that, is to use a VPN (Mullvad in my case) to sign up for and access Reddit via a European connection. I’m doing that with pretty much everything now, at least until the rest of the world catches up with GDPR. I don’t think GDPR is a magical privacy solution but it’s at least a first step.
