4:39 The reason the theme did not appear to apply is because you are in light mode. If you were in dark mode, the theme would apply other layers. Certain themes have different effects depending on what mode you are in. You were SO close in 5:12 but then you didn't keep dark mode enabled. Hope this helps!

Zen browser is a game changer for me. I have a laptop with limited vertical space, which makes web browsing difficult when the tabs are at the top of the screen, especially when the windows Taskbar is on the bottom. However, I have made my Taskbar appear on the left, and the left sidebar on Zen browser means that I can use all the vertical space of my laptop when browsing the web, I no longer feel cramped on my laptop, and it actually has made me consider keeping it for even longer. It's otherwise not a bad laptop, just a little cramped some times.

Vertical tabs and a good design isn't enough to replace arc. Main feature I like about arc is that it helps me organize tabs, by allowing me to move pinned tabs to folders and keeping them around when they closed. Firefox with tree style tabs or sideberry does a better job (even better that arc in some cases, since I can put tabs inside other tabs without creating folders), but still missing a "temorary" tabs section. This browser though still has potential, and in their site they at least promised "tab groups".

Honestly Vivaldi is king of tab management my only complaints are that it is yet another chromium thing, minor one but i prefer when browsers use more interesting engines, and that the design just never works for me even with heavy modding and customization. And that it just feels slower to use than most gecko based browsers or even Chrome itself. I keep trying to replace Vivaldi but i keep coming back to it, Zen is a good browser but i still default to using Vivaldi for some stuff, Zen is more of a media center for me rn while vivaldi is more of a work browser
@maxcross5454
@maxcross5454 Ай бұрын
For me it wasn't when I tried it - It's just the same tab management for chrome with added ability to switch between workspaces, and "stack tabs" (basicly tab groups). So you only have 2 levels of nesting, and it's not the best visually It's not the same as the ability to actually organize you tabs that you have with sideberry on firefox/floorp, or the hypothetical "best" version of the arc (I'm on windows, so I don't have that "best" version). But it's been some time since I tried - maybe something changed. In theory - if you move tab bar to the side and use "2-level tabs" mode - it could work (I didn't like it when I tried it, but that was before I learned how good the vertical tabs actually are). Also - vivaldi kept crashing on me when I had a lot of tabs. Although Arc for windows is MUCH worse in that sense - it not only crashes, but makes some tabs invisible sometimes, and the scroll in the tab bar becomes laggy and unresponsive. And the design, yes, was a bit outdated.

Once you really use said functionality anything else seems barbaric by comparison. I really hope this functionality becomes common in browsers.

I know if you try to screenshot DRM content it just blacks out the result. Kind of a big miss that this browser just doesn't support it at all. I love to hear about cool new apps, but TBH I think you buried the lede on this? What's your top feature, or what do you love about using this particular browser?

This is video aging like fine wine with Arc essentially abandoning their browser only to create a new browser? lol

I don't see anything worth sacrificing stability and drm-protected content. I think, for such projects, you need to have truly unique features, not just doing things slightly different. Google Chrome is still the best browser.

i installed it and i like it but i wont switch from chrome right now because for some reason it heats up my pc to like 70 degrees C...even though i have less tabs than on chrome. Watched the same stream with the same quality. It also used up a bit more ram like 100-150more but eh. Chrome is like 50-60C while watching 1080 60 (laptop. thats why its so hot)

It's firefox based and firefox usually uses more resources then chromium/chrome

It doesn't have even half of the AI ​​features of Arc, and it doesn't support multiple spaces WITH each space having a different profile. That idea of ​​multiple "workspaces" only share the same profile. It doesn't sync with the mobile app. Arc is much better, it does everything Zen does, but the opposite is not true!

Zen is great, but uses too much ram. Maybe a stable release will be good.
