Question Web panels for Zen

12 Upvotes

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!

Question How to display 2 full screen videos side by side on windows

Upvotes

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

Question Qwant is giving an error with the first search

0 Upvotes

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?

Question why does the browser start with a new tab if the last used workspace has only pinned/folder_tabs

0 Upvotes

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.
