Waiting for it in nixpkgs :). Tried it out in flatpak and i loved it
So Firefox with a user.js and a CSS theme. I'm not saying Zen Browser is bad. But it's nothing new.
The css theme is new.
give it a try, it is quite interesting
Been using it as my only browser since launch, super pleased with the experience so far. Really hope this sticks around for a long time.
You really shouldn't be using software that is in alpha stage of development, as the only browser.
There may be bugs and vulnerabilities no one has run into yet and bork your browser data.
arrest me
Oh no not my data!
Maybe it's the portable version I'm using, but I can't figure out how to click and drag the window. There's nowhere up top to grab and move to another monitor/shift around on the screen. Am I going crazy or is there a different way to move it around?
right click on the space around the URL bar, choose "Customize toolbar...", and then check "Title Bar" in the bottom left corner.
hmm maybe its the portable version then..I can click and drag just fine. I can also adjust it with superkey+arrow keys or with kwin.
I added a "Flexible Space" portion to the top and that allowed me to click and drag. Otherwise I had to use Alt+Space+M to make it moveable.
I was such a HUGE fan of Floorp until I saw the main dev behind it talk about how they wanted to start looking into ways to “monetize” the browser. Just really turned me off and I went back to Firefox.
Needless to say, this looks AWESOME, and I hope that more people find it and try it out. (After the early bugs are ironed out, of course).
Good job devs!
Is the browsers website (not GitHub) 404-ing for anyone else?
Seems currently up for me, but it is on vercel and I have seen it down a few times.
They recently told me they're moving from Vercel to Cloudflare (Pages?), which is great because the former kept making me wait for a while.
Isn’t vercel basically just a wrapper around AWS and/or cloudflare anyway?
Tried it for a few days. It works just like firefox minus one embedded video that crashed after 5 secs but worked in ordinary firefox.
What really surprised me was the speed. Loading youtube on firefox ~0.6 on zen ~0.1 which felt rather nice. I'm still not sure if its worth the hassel to switch.
Switched to it as my default. Its store nice and their theme store system is great
I've been using it everyday for the past 2 weeks and have enjoyed my time with it. Looks like a very promising browser.
The more Firefox the better.
Does it support Firefox Sync or offer a similar solution/integration?
Supports FF Sync.
It uses Forefox Sync.
I’m digging it so far! Definitely nice to have more FF-based options 🦊
now that I have been spoiled by floorp with workspaces, I have to ask... does it do workspaces? I can't find it on the site if it does
It does indeed. There is a button in the top left for it by default.
awesome, thanks!
