Here I go testing web browsers again. Today I'll be checking out the Firefox based Zen Browser.

Well, I've liked it enough to make the switch properly 🥳

While Arc is comfortable for me, the sudden announcement to effectively sunset this browser doesn't really make me want to stick around.

Moving over will be a pain, there is no nice way to export all those tabs I've accumulated...

🤦

Edit: The facepalm is on me, because it turns out I could just paste the entire batch into the Zen Browser bookmark manager 👌

@christian I'm using it as well. I'm a Firefox user anyway so its an easy switch, but also the fact it's not Chromium based is a big plus anyway for me!

Toot

@keir Nice! I'm actually now torn between this one and Vivaldi (Chromium tho) 😅

Once I let go of the requirement to have per-workspace profiles like Arc, I figured I'd give Vivaldi another go today.

Not sure where I'll end up now... both have their strengths. But the looming Manifest V3 breaking extensions thing will likely weigh a heavy part of that decision if I come to it.

@christian Manifest V3 is definitely a thing to keep in mind. I think Vivaldi was bought out by some Chinese firm wasn’t it? I’m wary on the data front if I am remembering that correctly!

@christian ahh seems I’m getting confused with Opera on that. That was a shame they got snapped up by a Chinese company tho
