Gave it a serious try for a solid week, I cannot get pass the forced vertical tab design. Everything else was great and it would have become my main browser otherwise.
The sad thing is even if they added the option for horizontal tabs in the future I would not come back because of the inflexible forcefulness of the vertical design even after ton’s of requests from the community for a horizontal option makes me feel like the dev’s have a “my way or the highway” attitude that would bite me again in the future.
I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.
I’ve been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It’s a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I’d like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.
A couple features in Arc I would like to see coome to this, but it runs on Linux so I am dailying it on my real computer. So far it has been great and a couple KDE tweaks even made PiP work fantastic.
I just set it so it never grabs focus and remembers its location. That was when I click to another tab the PiP window doesn’t take over focus from the browser.

I like Floorp better for a Firefox variant, feels more developed and stable than zen.
All I want is a Vivaldi based on Firefox
Or native gestures in Firefox. Either would be perfect.

I’m pretty happy with Firefox, is there any reason I should try this?
Not really no

Website is down?
Both the news site and the browser site worked for me.
