Zen Browser (lemmy.zip)

Just found out about Zen Browser, has someone used it already? Its Github repository looks to be under very active development and growing fast in popularity.

Zen Browser's website claims to have features that Floorp and LibreWolf do not. I'm not that tech savy so I would know how to evaluate the browser fairly, does anyone here knows something about it?

I've been test-driving it alongside my usual (Floorp). I like its aesthetics. It's a bit janky UX-wise but considering it's essentially a solo project, it's impressive. I hope it at least spurs Firefox into improving its UI.

yep the UI looks intuitive, and pretty. I will give it a try.

Oh, its so nice the have same keybinds as Firefox for everything, I feel at home already.

Yes, it's basically Firefox with a fancy reskin. Some of the shortcuts are different, though.

When I visited its store page I instantly new that this browser was developed and used by window manger users and the keybind settting page confirms it.

"Compact mode" is another confirmation — it hides all UI elements.

From my experience, everything feel much snappier than firefox.

opening new tab, switching tab feel snappier
