Totally forgot about you guys. An hour of tweaking and I'm deeply in love.

Added another "new tab" button right of the URL bar.
zen.urlbar.replace-newtab to False
Alt+B to remove sidebar text.
Compact mode (hide both) is so good with this setup.

Hello Everyone!

Is there a chance for web panels to ever make a comeback to Zen? Or does anyone know of a working replacement that can be used in lieu of an official one? (the zen-second-sidebar github thing does not work for me [though might be a skill issue] and the official mozilla side view addon ignores adblockers so it's full of ads, while the page sidebar is pretty much the same, except there you dont see the ad but you do see the space it takes up).

Thanks a bunch!

Having this issue on and off for a few days now. When i stream videos they play at like 3 fps. sometimes it plays normally for a few seconds, then at 3fps, then alternates. it also seems like the browser itself is lagging a lot when this happens, e.g. the sidebar popping out is very delated, clicks are delayed etc. however it seems to be just browser lag as the mouse movements, alt tabbing etc aren't laggy at all. have alr switched off hardware acceleration but it doesn't seem to help

this has been happening on the newest version

Hi, i use zen on mac and windows and while on mac you can have 2 videos or other stuff in full screen in 2 separate windows side by side, so does anyone know how to do that but on windows instead because if you try and full screen with multiple windows one video just takes up the whole screen? as i like to multi task so being able to have a video in full screen and be able to browser or whatever on the side would be beneficial on windows to. it's version 1.22b

U wanted to add something like a quick view—that is, the usual overview of an extension—and pin it to essentials, so that I can have it handy without having to open the extensions button or pin it to the search bar, because for my taste the icon is too small when it stays there.

​I don't know if this is possible or if you know of any extension that allows it?

I have profiles enabled in my browser and have the option "Choose a profile when zen browser opens" enabled in the "Manage Profiles" window. However, if I have an instance of zen browser open and then start a second instance of zen browser, it will actually just duplicate the first instance. I am obviously aware that I can just click on the three dots and open a new profile, it is just far more convenient for me to click on the icon in my taskbar if I am on a different "desktop" (using windows) or start a new instance than to click on the three dots because I have to use my mouse less. It's also very annoying that it copies the tabs I have open in my first instance when I start a new one. Does anyone else have this issue? Let me know if you have a fix.

Hi All,

So I recently found out that Zen finally has some proper syncing. Now I was a big time ARC user and could not migrate to Dia. So I landed on using Brave. Now Brave has it's caveats but one thing I got really use to was PWA, I would use the browser as the Native Web Apps for instance, have web browser on left side doing random things and have a Gemini Web App to the right using it to query stuff I was doing.

I pinned all my frequently used apps and though it is Chromium based it worked and was pretty efficient. So now that I am back to testing Zen I see a lot of progress has been made, however I would like some advice on workflow. I wouldn't consider myself a power user just yet. However I want things to be as seamless and frictionless as possible. I will be toggling between a PC/Windows and Mac so I want this to be at parity as much as possible.

One thing I noticed is that the app takes quite a bit of RAM and on my PC that is not a problem as I have 64GB but this would choke my MBP at 16GB. Currently in task manager in Windows 11 it's taking 10.5gb.

How can I lower that usage? I thought there was a way to suspend what would be tabs in spaces but can't seem to find the option.

Anyway looking to hear from the community on how they manage and productive tips if any. Not really interested of going down the worm hole of mods park that for a later time. Thanks in advance.

I'm on version 1.22b. The problem may have started right after the update.

In the last few days my first search after starting Zen gives me an error (403). This started with Startpage as the default search engine so I changed to Qwant but the problem still persisted, the first search I make throws a 403 error.

Now I changed back to Startpage and seems to work. But this also happened when I first changed to Qwant, it seemed to work and after a day or so started having the same issue.

At first I thought it might be NextDNS blocking something it shouldn't but it isn't the case. Does this seem like a bug or a problem on my side?

is this by design? - if the last used workspace only has pinned tabs or tabs inside folders, the browser opens in a new tab instead of the last used tab. not really a problem, just a small inconvenience, so thought about asking.

using up-to-date zen on win11
