      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.

        You got me curious about the issues that you may have with zen, is true that i haven’t use it for that long of a time but so far so good, so i would love to know what i may run into in the future

          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
