ZEN BROWSER SITUATION IS CRAZY!!! (hexbear.net)

It's an Arc-Browser clone WIP which uses Firefox as base. It's everything I would want from a browser.

Pros:

Open Source
UI-First Approach means it's working towards a modern browsing experience like Arc
Firefox as base so all Firefox Extensions like Adnauseum/Ublock work on it
No threat of MV3. Arc has stopped blocking ads for me hence I will no longer be using Chromium at all. Adblocking works like a charm on Zen.
Highly customizable with a very fast development cycle.

Cons:

It's in Alpha so expect Bugs and less features
Still missing some features from Arc like Peek and Command Bar

I would recommend trying out this browser @ https://zen-browser.app/

God damn it, I just switched to Floorp last week and then you drop this sexy ass looking browser on me? Looks like I'll be messing around with it tonight. This looks tight as fuck.

E: anyone know if Firefox sync is supported? Might be a deal breaker for me if I can't bounce tabs between phone and computer.

E2: never mind I'm a dummy
