Diferencias entre forks de Firefox (extraído de Techlore, reconocimiento a su autor)
- Zen ≈ Firefox con la plantilla de configuración Betterfox preaplicada
- Floorp ≈ Firefox con la plantilla de configuración de Bettefox preaplicada
- Librewolf ≈ Firefox con una configuración derivada en su mayor parte de Arkenfox , aunque aparentemente se han quedado atrás/tienen dificultades para mantenerse al día con la carga de trabajo.
#ZenBrowser #floorp #librewolf
Like a mindless moth to a flame, this morn i was tempted to give #ZenBrowser yet another chance, despite its disappointing history of letting me down, eg:
Sadly, yet again after only ~two hours, i had to abandon it again, when i discovered that the bug with the search-bar dropdown menu remains broken, such that choosing impromptu searches in my alternative search engines remains impossible.
So, back i go, yet again, to the lovely... and reliable...
#FirefoxNightly + #Mv2 #uBO + #Sidebery + #FirefoxSecondSidebar = THE best browsing & sophisticated tab management + Web Panel UX i've ever had, easily eclipsing Vivaldi,
#Floorp,
#ZenBrowser, Waterfox, LibreWolf... ergo =
#FirefoxNightly + #NativeVerticalTabs + #uBlockOrigin + #FirefoxSecondSidebar = Very usable already as of Feb 2025, albeit less powerful than Sidebery, ergo =
Cada cop estic més a gust amb Zen Browser:
- dedica TOTA la pantalla a mostrar el contingut de la pàgina (imprescindible amb pantalles petites!),
- llista de pestanyes i accés a menú movent el cursor al marge esquerre (o dret: configurable)
- possibilitat de mostrar diverses pàgines alhora (tiling),
- possibilitat de repartir les pestanyes en diversos espais de treball (agrupar-les per temàtica)
- compatible amb les extensions de Firefox
Per exemple.
#ZenBrowser looks pretty neat.
Anyone know much about the team behind it or any feature pathway?
@markstos Heehee.

With release **1.11b** we completely **removed the web panel feature**. This is due to security concerns and difficulties in maintaining it. We recommend using split views instead. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. While we understand some of you used the web panels, recent research lead us to this decision.
Also, we've added this nice button in the Glance menu!

Continuing my Linux migration series—this time with browsers.
I love Arc Browser, but no Linux support.
Zen Browser was solid, but some of my key extensions are Chrome-only.
Now testing Vivaldi—it’s fast, polished, maybe too feature-packed?
Got a favorite Chromium browser for Linux? Let me know!
(Skipping Brave—still feels kinda shady.)

I started messing the the #zenbrowser this week, but unfortunately, it doesn't work with #hookmark. dangit!
I really need to spend an hour and figure out how to set these integrations up for the community. I can't really live without hoookmark anymore, and I need it for #AnyType.

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.
1.10.3b contains a critical firefox security update which fixes a vulnerability in sandboxing.
Please update your browser asap!

#zenbrowser @zenbrowser experience: you have the option to make it work either way
(I actually prefer the latter)
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.
A heated discussion is going on about the privacy issues and telemetry in Zen browser.
I think they will be resolved eventually but it’s good to be aware of them. That said, I really like Zen - it is so beautifully designed.
In #Zen browser when I want to open a new tab, a floating window apears to enter the target. How can I disable it to open a new tab when I want to open a new tab!?
