Zen Browser
zen-browser.app
Beautifully designed, privacy-focused, and packed with features.

Just stumbled upon this project, seems rather new as my DNS blocked its domain by default for being too new hehe… Anyone had a chance to try it yet? Its got some hefty promises, like having equally strong privacy features as Librewolf. I’ll be giving it ago at least, almost sounds a bit too good to be true…

    Optimised for peak performance? Are there benchmarks to back this up?

    Edit - their docs have benchmarks. They do not appear to have comparative benchmarks

    edit - lol amazing

    I like it so far. The weakness seems to be the size of the dev team and if the project has a future. Hopefully they are planning accordingly.

    I went through a handful of threads and it seems mostly positive so far. One choice I wasn’t sure about was that they’re considering having a built in adblocker (based on something that’s not ublock origin). I would prefer if the browser just shipped with ublock origin instead.

    As far as privacy focused browsers go, Mull Mullvad Browser seems to be the best still. I was exploring Zen for my day to day browser.

    I’ve been using it for about a week, both at work and at home, and I must say that it is great. It is nearly everything that I wanted from a browser. Especially since it is based on Firefox.

    I’ve been so happy with it, that I even donated to the project.
