Install Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.403.15 web browser on Linux Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10 Systems. Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.403.15 is released with brand new session management and other important updates. Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.403.15 is the latest version available of the Vivaldi web browser.
Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.403.15 brings various new feature, changes and fixes. Some of the most prominent ones are:
- Session management – Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.403.15 brings new feature known as session management for tabs. It allows you to save your current tabs as a named “session”, which can be accessed later. All the session management options are accessible via the File menu or using Quick Commands (F2 and type “session”).
- Per tab zoom – A new option “Use Tab Zoom”. This allows you to set the zoom level per tab, rather than per website. This option can be found under the Webpages section of setting.
- A new tab Hibernation option – Right click on the active tab and choose “Hibernate Background Tabs”. This will instantly free up more resources as your other tabs are “put to sleep”.
- Background tab progress indicator – Added a new progress indicator to tabs that are loading in the background.
Other changes released with the latest version of Vivaldi are:

Install Vivaldi Snapshot on Ubuntu
The Vivaldi website the latest Vivaldi versions as deb packages, so installing the browser should not be difficult. Just download the deb package matching your system’s architecture (i386/i686 for 32 bit systems and amd64/x86_64 for 64 bit systems) and install it via the default package manager. I prefer gdebi over dpkg due to the fact that it also handles dependencies.
