I loved Zen. But I have multiple devices and I don’t want to have to do all of the customisation, profile and essential tab set up for ever device. So i gave up on it once base Firefox brought out the new vertical tabs.
Oh that and they kept changing things that weren’t customisable that I got used to. Like the profile switcher on the bottom.
Has there been any updates that have implemented proper syncing or added more customisation yet? (I know about mods, but some of the better customisation ones would break every other update)
I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn’t like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn’t let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.
I thought it was cool too, but I have Heimdall running on a docker container. I wanted to be able to easily get to that, and it felt like the default behavior of Zen was getting in the way.
theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating
I mostly like zen. But I dont like that pressing on the new tab button brings up a floating search menu instead of taking me to my homepage.
Edit: thanks for pointing me to about config peeps.
You can switch to the legacy new tab behavior via about:config, see https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/urlbar#enable-legacy-new-tab-mechanism

Ah, yeah that would be annoying

IIRC there’s an option to restore regular new tabs in the settings
