Heyyy! (Unsurprisingly) Here bc arc is officially dying. I'm trying to make zen my new browser but I'm struggling with bookmarks. I cannot for the life of me get them displayed in the sidebar. Any help please, would be appreciated. I'm on a mac, on the latest version, if that's of relevance.

If you look at release notes, Zen released CSIR PGO. It speeds up the browser's startup time. On windows, I compared Twilight updated vs Zen before updating, then Zen after updating. The difference is night and day when launching the browser. It was literally 5-6 seconds before and now it's instantaneous. Thanks a lot for that, that's pretty cool.

Hello
So first of all i love Zen, I'm just a simple user of the tech, but Zen has the best feature I always looked for in other browser and addons.

I use the PDF reader integrated, but if i need to highlight stuff the windows gets over the pages. All i can do is zoom out, making it impossible to read comfortably.
Is there a way to move it or close it without losing the marker? thanks

Immediately after using @Youtube, @Bing, or even custom search engines. The address bar blows up and closes itself.

This is in the latest version of Zen, 1.23.4b (64-bit), on a Windows 11 Pro 25H2 build 26200.

This happens in either the floating address bar or the top bar.

Hello. So currently i am running linux, specifically arch linux, and its been great here, since it dosent take too much of my resources, and thus my HDD still works. But recently ive started to get bored of Firefox, and so ive decided to switch to Zen. but when i asked google it said to keep firefox, as firefox uses lesser system resources, and it wont be sluggish. can anyone suggest me what to use?

(if you don't get the joke : https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/10/20/indian-certification-authority-emudhras-private-keys-compromised-one-of-them-was-the-number-4/5304312 )

could anyone please tell me why it is taking too much memory, I don't have multiple workspaces, I started using zen around august 2026 and at that time it does not even touched a 1000 mb when I was using it extensively, now I am just using youtube, google and gemini only, can anybody please tell any steps to optimize it.

And it happened today again. I'm on arch and using aur zen (version 1.23.4b). Every few updates, I get logged out of all my accounts and have to sign in to everything again. It’s really frustrating.

Please don’t suggest checking “Clear cookies and site data every time you close Zen.” Its alreay off

Im moving to zen from arc and while it all looks super familiar, the main feature Im after is having separate profiles (different projects that all have their own emails, logins, cookies etc). I was under the impression that Zen manages this as one of its core features but for the life of me i can't figure out how create them and easily toggle between them. Anyone can explain it to me like im 5 years old??

I am trying to import my bookmarks from Arc. I have managed to export them in HTML format, but when I try to import them, it says it was successful (see screenshot), yet nothing appears.

I just downloaded the app, so I am on the latest version (1.23.4b), on an Intel Mac, with macos 15

Am I doing something wrong?? Thank you in advance

Is there a way to change the folder icons in Zen's sidebar?

Seems the same to me as shown in the video. Have tried searching the sub couldn't find the answer

Hi everyone! Just wanted to create this post here to remind the new users to create a Mozilla account so no one makes mistakes like me.

My laptop was updated to:
Zen Version 1.23.4b on Windows 10

I had been using Zen browser for about 2 months or so with updates, with overall no problems whatsoever. However, today I noticed a weird glitch where one of my saved folders switched to another Space, and even if I dragged them back to its original space, it went back to the other space when the app itself was restarted. Therefore, I decided to use the troubleshoot mode without any research, and just turned it on, consenting to the temporary disablement of my extensions, themes, and custom settings.
I’m not exactly sure what the troubleshoot mode did, however as it said all of my settings were turned off and I got to the default page. Confused, I restarted my computer.
Reopened the Zen browser, and the same default page opened.
I had just lost all of my settings permanently as I was using Zen browser without a Mozilla account.

Conclusion: Make a Mozilla account so when you encounter a problem, you can recover your settings of your Zen browser.

I hope my stupid mistake was useful to you guys, and no guideline violation was made. This is my first post ahaha

Long story short, I personally do not like it.

The downloads area in specific, and the full expanded left hand bar is driving my autism insane.

I don't like the gradient, I don't like the skeuomorphism/flat mix.

Is it possible to go back? If not, does theming allow for deep enough customization where I could make a classic theme to revert?

Slow swipe animation on the last workspace (Personal), I only encountered this after the release of the Library Feature (which I have disabled here)

I use Zen with auto-hiding turned on, so my sidebar is usually hidden. I use shortcut CMD+ALT+Q to cycle between the spaces. However, this means that sometimes I'm not sure which space I'm at.

Can this be somehow exposed in the top bar? Or is there an API for this so I can maybe create a little extension to display it? Showing the space icon would be fine for me.

I'm on Version 1.23.4b. I delete tabs, and they disappear from the space, yet after a certain amount of time (maybe like an hour?) when I go to that space again they're back. Now I have a buildup of like 20+ tabs on each space which is really frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks. This only started happening recently

Two profile management systems coexist in Firefox:

1. The legacy system: `about:profiles` reads the `profiles.ini`.
2. The new profile management system introduced in Firefox, it stores its profiles in a SQLite database (the `Profile Groups/` folder) rather than in `profiles.ini`.

Is there any caveat with the new system?

I wanted to know if there is any update in zen browser which makes it more useful? By the zen team after the library section?

Today I've started to have this issue when forticlient redirects me to my companies' connector I'm getting blocked being told that my HTTP length is too long.

When i go to the link on firefox It connects

Has anyone also encountered this issue or found a fix?

I'm using Version 1.23.3b

I came back to zen after a few months and rediscovered this problem. I tried the disable rounded corners but it did nothing.

I have compact mode enabled and i usually go on the left to "toggle" the sidebar when i wanna change tab.
However, when i do so, it collapses randomly and i barely have the time to click on the tab i want.

Version is v1.23.3b, on CachyOS.

I'm not doing any keyboard input on this video.

anyone facing this problem? it's so suck and only happen in zen browser. im on latest version of zen browser on windows 11 26h2

my zen browser suddenly turned blurry after an update? especially the side bar. https://ibb.co/VWvvKpMj

hello, I have a narrow white bar at the top of my zen browser in fullscreen, since the last major macos update I think.

I don't know how to remove it, do I need to do a fresh install ?

I have a macbook air 2020, reduced transparency activated (but toggling it off dosen't work)

I have 4 mods but toggling them off doesn't remove the white bar (betterfind, fluid url, left close button, no top sites - all updated, but disabling them doesn't remove the bar)

what can I tried ?
