I am sure the article is written by chatGPT
I expected so much more from a website called “techwavearena” /s
Yeah, reads more like a wikipedia article than a news article, like someone took several sources and told ai to combine the info. Facts are great, but they don't make for a captivating read on their own. There's a sweet spot for opinion/reflection without too much bias that makes news sources worth reading.
One thing that seems to be missing from most Zen promotion is that Firefox has a huge collection of add-on options/extentions. Hard to beat of you're reliant on several of them. Keeps me from even trying it.
Zen is a fork of Firefox, supports Firefox extensions, and retains the built-in access to the Mozilla extension/theme stores from vanilla Firefox. If you go to install an addon, it even gives a popup to "Add to Firefox".
It's a good browser with only minor issues. I'm on Win10; automatic updates don't always succeed, and it seems like it blocks some communication between the 1password desktop app and the browser extension because I have to sign into each separately. Otherwise, I prefer it to Firefox in pretty much every way.
Zen supports the add-ons and extensions from FF. (Source: been using it for about a month)
It would be good for them to make sure it's clear that it's a fork of Firefox and supports addons in their marketing! Right now it's quite a ways down the home page.
While like other have said, extensions do work, I wouldn't expect zen to prioritize extension compatibility. I've been following development and it seems like a personal project
Is there any reason to use this over Librewolf?
The UI/UX. Nothing else, to be fair. They have some nice features (like 'glance'), too
no, if you don't care about vertical tab bar. also you can apply the betterfox scripts into your librewolf user.js.
