    I’m enjoying Zen browser in general but still facing several issues with it from time to time. Nothing major, just small nuisanses here and there.

    I use it alongside Vivaldi since I often have to be logged in into two different sessions for the same site and it’s just easier to have two browsers for that. Vivaldi is a lot more stable and so I use it as the main browser - but everytime it updates I need to modify a JS file to tweak something in the UI to make it the way I like it to be. When using vertical tabs + tab groups + two layers of tabs (one sidebar showing the tab groups and a second sidebar showing the tabs inside the selected group), the maximum tab width is applied to both sidebars together instead of individually, so I modify the JS file to double that max width. I’ve automated it by now but it still annoys me that I keep having to do this.

    But I think Vivaldi is probably the only browser that even has the ability to show tabs in that way, so I can’t complain that much.

        Not OP, but two issues I’ve encountered:

        • No DRM means some streaming sites don’t work. But I can easily hop over to another browser for that
        • There is no global zoom to increase webpage size on all websites. This can be resolved by installing an extension

        Otherwise, Zen has been amazing. I fully switched from Firefox 5 months ago, no regrets

          Thanks, but the drm has worked for me just like normal firefox does, i’ve been using it to watch max and amazon prime since i’ve made the switch, something that i couldn’t get to work on qutebrowser for example
