Hello!
I was curious about your guys opinions on Zen browser. Im currently using LibreWolf but enjoyed the look and feel of Zen browser. I tried to look for a Zen comparison on the aspect of privacy but didnt really fond any. So I wanted to see if you guys havet any input or opinion on Zen, anything goes!
Zen looks good, but it isn’t hardened enough and I don’t wanna bother with hardening it myself with Arkenfox when I could just keep using Librewolf.
I gave it a try yesterday but ultimately the change in UI/UX kinda messed with my flow. My mouse had to travel farther across the screen to change tabs, which was the biggest downside. Too much travelling.
There were also parts of the sidebar I wished had the option to toggle hidden or visible. Didn’t really like the sidebar taking up screen real estate on the sides instead of just the top. Felt a bit too tight and squished in. Even changing from Normal to Touch mode didn’t give me enough space. I kept trying to see how I could move the bar back to the top, lol.
Ended up going back to Floorp.
I like the ux and look forward to vertical tabs in version 131+. The privacy aspect can be modified with the user.js from arkenfox https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/
I believe Zen’s sole focus is to provide a different UI / UX on top of vanilla Firefox, so I would assume that it is no more or less private than Firefox.
