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

Pros:

  1. Open Source
  2. UI-First Approach means it's working towards a modern browsing experience like Arc
  3. Firefox as base so all Firefox Extensions like Adnauseum/Ublock work on it
  4. 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.
  5. Highly customizable with a very fast development cycle.

Cons:

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

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

    When I saw that and "container tabs", I thought it was going to have a good implementation of vertical tabs, but it really doesn't. No easy folders, no organizational features...If they add some stuff that makes it meaningfully different from Firefox, I might give it some thought, but right now, there's really no point. Better keyboard shortcuts or something would even make me switch, but that bar seems useless now.
