Vivaldi 3.3 is released with “Break Mode” to pause the Internet. Here is how to Install Vivaldi 3.3 in Ubuntu using the official Ubuntu .DEB packages.
Vivaldi 3.3
Vivaldi 3.3 comes with the new Break Mode that helps you unplug from continuous work – improving work-life balance and focusing on activities outside the browser. The new pause button at the left corner of the Status Bar, Break Mode mutes and stops HTML5 audio and videos, hides all tabs, panels, and other content leaving the screen clean.
When ready, you can resume your browsing activity exactly where you left off. Press play to unpause the browser via Break Mode – everything will be visible again and audios/videos will restart.
While the built-in Break Mode feature underlines the power of taking a break and limits internet addiction, it is also the quickest way to stop or resume work with several advantages:
- Work-life balance: With Break Mode, you can encourage a healthy work-life balance, improve your workflow, and communicate with friends, family, and colleagues in the real world.
- Hide private content: Hide browsing activity or sensitive information on the screen at once if interrupted by a colleague or a family member, or when you simply need to step away from the screen for a while.
- Shift focus: With Break Mode on, you can use another application and save resources from the browser especially if you have a number of tabs open or audio/video playing.
It also brings a brand-new default Theme for Private Window. You can even set a custom Theme for Private Window that will help visually distinguish between regular and private windows.
Users can now easily crop and click parts of the URL in the Address Bar and also easily identify legitimate or malicious Web Pages with the help of base domain highlighting in the URL field – an important security feature.
More new additions in Vivaldi 3.3
- Full-Page Blocking Support: The built-in Tracker and Ad Blocker now supports blocking whole pages. You can provide your own sets of rules and can use the document option in block rules to block whole pages. This is a step towards greater compatibility with the uBlock Origin rule set.
- Drag & Drop Speed Dials to folders: Similar to its browser on Android, Vivaldi’s signature Speed Dial now has the ability to drag and drop entries into folders easily on desktop – another way to organize sites better.
