Install Vivaldi Snapshot 1.7.735.11 on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 16.10 and Linux Mint 18 Serena
Vivaldi is a feature-rich, next-generation web browser application based on the powerful and open source Chromium project, from which the popular Google Chrome web browser is derived. The application is freely distributed and cross-platform, created by the former CEO of Opera Software, built using modern Web technologies like React, JavaScript, Node.js, and Browserify.
A web browser designed for you
The main goal of the Vivaldi project is to make a highly flexible, low on resources and extremely fast web browser software that works across all mainstream computer operating systems, a web browser that is rich in functionality and designed for you, the user.

Better sound control for tabs
We have now made the tab muting feature more accessible to those of you who work primarily with the keyboard. We also decided to provide even more options to precisely control the behaviour of sound in tabs, including commands to "Mute/unmute Tab", "Mute Other Tabs", "Mute All Tabs", "Unmute Other Tabs" and "Unmute All Tabs". So that no matter how many tabs you have open and what the web throws at you, you have the power to quickly control what plays and what doesn't!
To access these features simply call up Quick Commands via "F2/⌘+E" and type "mute", then select the option you want via the arrow keys. Alternatively, you can define keyboard shortcuts for any of these new options via "Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Tab" and mouse gestures under "Settings → Mouse → Gesture Mapping".
If you have friends who have complained about noisy tabs, remember to let them know about Vivaldi.
