ZEN BROWSER SITUATION IS CRAZY!!! (hexbear.net)

It's an Arc-Browser clone WIP which uses Firefox as base. It's everything I would want from a browser.

Pros:

Open Source
UI-First Approach means it's working towards a modern browsing experience like Arc
Firefox as base so all Firefox Extensions like Adnauseum/Ublock work on it
No threat of MV3. Arc has stopped blocking ads for me hence I will no longer be using Chromium at all. Adblocking works like a charm on Zen.
Highly customizable with a very fast development cycle.

Cons:

It's in Alpha so expect Bugs and less features
Still missing some features from Arc like Peek and Command Bar

I would recommend trying out this browser @ https://zen-browser.app/

I've been using this in combination with librewolf and I really like it. I'm not a huge fan of vertical tabs when you have over 30 tabs, but it's good for websites you visit often.

I like vertical tabs specifically for when I have a monster number of tabs open.
