Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.

          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

              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.

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

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

          Zen is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

        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.

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

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

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