Not long after I can't find any reason to keep Zen Browser around I removed it. I still have one would say a web browser collection and rather have vastly different ones for different use cases. I already had Librewolf and Floorp that I continue to use, Chromium for the odd websites that aren't work that well in Firefex based browsers and lastly qutebrowser that use mainly for opening up links that I see in posts.
I think for now I can stop experimenting with browsers, except if I find one that I haven't tried yet that's preferably not a chromium based one. I tried out any of them that interested me, some of them are around for a long time that I wanted to check out, the others are the ones that I never tried. In the first category that I check out sometimes is Vivaldi. Those that fall into the later category Zen Browser, Floorp and Mullvad Browser.
While Mullvad Browser would be a good choice only if I use any VPN, which I don't and don't see a reason to use it without one.
And yes I have admit Zen and Floorp are both have some little bugs that I had encountered while using them, all of those where UI related. But until I found these bugs really annoying in Floorp I will continue to keep it around and use it.

After Floorp I thought why not I should try out Zen Browser too.
Zen too offers some features that only as far as I know exist only in Zen, there's Zen Mods which are basically just extensions made by the community. It's an interesting unique thing I haven't seen any other web browser that does anything like that. I generally as a rule doesn't like to use extensions with the exception of UBlock Origin so this feature is not something I care about, but nonetheless it's impressive how much the UI itself can be customized with the help of Zen Mods.
Zen Browser is way more customization then Floorp, while both having some settings that are the same or somewhat equal, for instance both allow the user to customize the keyboard shortcuts and vertical tabs is there for those who care about having vertical tabs without the need of an extension, I personally like vertical tabs they take up less space. Although I heard Firefox has vertical tabs too for awhile, but I'm not using Firefox on the desktop so IDK how well it works or if it's similar to what we get in Floorp and Zen.

Yea, wow, just from ~5 mins of using #ZenBrowser, I can see it is very much a beta atm lol. No harm in sticking with #Firefox for now, or maybe revisit #LibreWolf which is certainly more mature, tho from my recollection there are some things about it, due to its privacy-championing nature, that is perhaps a lil "too a fault" where some things you expect to be there or working, simply aren't.

Ci sono delle segnalazioni preoccupanti su #ZenBrowser, il fork di #Firefox che si definisce #privacy focused:

- Remote debugging lasciato abilitato per tutti di default, in pratica una backdoor:
github.com/zen-browser/desktop

- Telemetria con varie connessioni effettuate senza possibilità di disattivazione:
github.com/zen-browser/desktop

For some reason, Zen is currently not only exposing Remote Debugging... but also disabling prompting for it?
This is very concerning from a security perspective and quite literally acts as a backdo...

@zenbrowser By #TabFolders i presume you mean just the non-hierarchical flat arrangement per Firefox, Vivaldi, Chromium, but with your adaptations so they respect your Workspaces?

What about proper nestable trees, like in #TreeStyleTab & #Sidebery? Several months ago, in the reddit sub, you promised that you intended to have native tree tabs, not just folders. Several of us in your GitHub Issues have asked you about this, for months, but you have ignored the discussions there, never replying.

Pls can you let us know, one way or the other?
