I didn't find many comparisons between the two let alone a recent one. So they're both packages for changing Firefox prefs for better performance and or privacy. I'm interested in applying them to Zen Browser. Can you provide detailed comparisons and if I should you use both?

Does that mean you use Zen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah it's by far my favorite browser!

Interesting. People have been skeptical on here about it because of its newness, but I may give it a shot one of these days, though I'm currently okay with Waterfox so far. Thanks for sharing.

Personally, I can't get used to the sidebar. I haven't spent all that much time on it.

Oh, is it impossible to disable?

To be honest, I thought the ux was the appeal of Zen, since if I wasn't going to use that I'd probably use Mullvad browser, or vanilla FF with arkenfox

You can completely disable the sidebar in Waterfox and it's not enabled by default.

Right, though I was asking about Zen. I can't stand sidebar tabs, haha; too much wasted space and I don't often even view the tab strip relative to merely running searches through it with % .

Ooh. I saw someone respond to you saying you liked Waterfox, with their comment being about disliking the sidebar.

Huh, I don't see that comment; got a link? I thought this was about Zen, haha. Too many Fx alts!
