I can vouch for zen browser! It’s been really good (so far)!

In my experience, Zen's design and customization is really nice but it's also extremely buggy. Maybe to be expected, as I think they are still in their alpha release.

I was also concerned about maybe getting fingerprinted more easily since it's a very niche browser.

I don't know if the zen browser on the play store is the same as this one, but I just tried it out and got hit with an unskippable full screen 10 second ad. Not the experience I was hoping for.

Make sure you check the website that people link before downloading stuff--

Zen is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

It is not on mobile, so you might want to try some of the others listed in the thread

Yeah sync between phone and desktop is important unfortunately because of about a billion cloud things I use for work

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Zen can still use Firefox sync to sync between desktop and mobile. Just have to use a firefox based mobile browser that didn't cut out firefox sync. I'm personally use Waterfox on Android, and Zen on Windows. My plan to move to linux by buying a new 2TB SSD is kind of on hold for now...

Hell yeah, at least the (former?) FOSS nature of Mozilla didn't preclude fork compatibility.

[–] luckyeddy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I believe zen is not available on android or iOS yet.

https://zen-browser.app/download/

Zen is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

How's the extension ecosystem? Or is it compatible with Firefox/Chrome extensions?

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

While Zen has their own mods page that works better with it, Firefox extensions work well.

[–] luckyeddy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

So far everything I had on Firefox is working on zen.
