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.
Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

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

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…

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

They should send a cease and desist to this app then.

How’s the extension ecosystem? Or is it compatible with Firefox/Chrome extensions?
JayGray91@piefed.social 1 day ago
While Zen has their own mods page that works better with it, Firefox extensions work well.

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

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.
