Ruario! There you are! I hope all is well with you.

As to "Third Party Services," it, apparently, has little to nothing to do with it. If you won't let Vivaldi connect to, p2-in-195.1e100.net (74.125.20.95), it won't let you out and displays the message "connection refused" when trying to connect to any website.

I don't see that effect @cwizardone. I can certainly connect to sites, once I switch off those services and then block that domain and IP. However there are several 1e100.net domains that full under an ip range (starting with 74.125). If I try and block the whole range I also end up blocking ajax.googleapis.com, which many, many sites use. This makes them slow to load or in some cases they will not load at all. I see the same effect in all browsers. However certain sites that make no use of Google services at all still load with no problems and no slow down.

That has not been my experience with Firefox, SeaMonkey, Konqueror or Opera-12.16.

I got the impression that this project has been abandoned, as there haven't been any updates in 2+ years. See GitHub.

@cwizardone I compared in Firefox and Opera 12. I don't see the issue or perhaps there is some missing step? To be clear I used firewall rules to block that range. I confirmed they were blocked buy pinging them and got no reply.
