Although break-before is part of the current CSS spec, the EPUB 3.3 spec (which 
I think is the latest) refers to page-break-before only. I can’t see an 
indication in the W3C spec that break-before is supported: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-33 

Having said that, the draft points at https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS 
 which does have break-before, so you could equally 
assume that 3.3 does support it.

Of course, some EPUB platforms only support EPUB 2, which wouldn’t definitely 
not use break-before.

I guess the right approach is to test your target platforms.

Yours

I haven’t used Quark for at least a decade, so I haven’t faced this question in 
that context. But with css in general:

1. Your css is using the deprecated page-break-inside property. It might still 
work, so try 'page-break-before: initial;' in the first paragraph of a chapter.

ADDED: Maybe not the first paragraph of the chapter if you have a separate 
Chapter style. 

2. Otherwise the newer property is simply break-before (along with break-after, 
and break-inside);

break-before: page;
break-before: initial;

I haven’t used Quark for at least a decade, so I haven’t faced this question in 
that context. But with css in general:

1. Your css is using the deprecated page-break-inside property. It might still 
work, so try 'page-break-before: initial;' in the first paragraph of a chapter.

2. Otherwise the newer property is simply break-before (along with break-after, 
and break-inside);

break-before: page;
