Expert Plus 🍀🔱<p>Those of you who had followed me, know that I am a double-browser user: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Waterfox" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Waterfox</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Vivaldi</span></a></span> . And that was true. Until now.</p><p>Today I decided to switch a new browser - to be honest, two new browsers.</p><p>One of them is Zen Browser - perfect for me, at least (see screenshot below).</p><p>Why did I choose Zen Browser?</p><p>- I am a vertical tabs user and hate using horizontal tabs, since I want to see everything. So, yeah, by default - yes by default - Zen Browser offers vertical tabs.</p><p>- I don't own a Macbook or a Mac, but I always wanted to try out Arc Browser. So, uh, Zen Browser, is something like Arc Browser. Any feature of Arc Browser you name, and you have it in Zen Browser.</p><p>- Zen Browser is a fork of Firefox - a privacy focused one, yet, has modified UX, beautiful icons, and is just like....like I want it.</p><p>Here is the hugest reason I switched from Waterfox (and else Firefox or Firefox fork) to Zen Browser:</p><p>- Web pages speed. </p><p>As you know, in Firefox, webpages are taking a good amount of time to load. However, in Chromium browsers (like Vivaldi) , same websites are loading much faster, way, way much faster.</p><p>Soooo, what if, Firefox, while remaining a privacy-focused amazing browser, had a speed for websites as if it were a Chromium browser?</p><p>What if Firefox was fast as Chrome?</p><p>Zen Browser is the answer to that question.</p><p>Because it is fast as hell.</p><p>I know, by this time of reading that post, you are really skeptic now: "Is that browser open-source?" you ask. My answer? It is! The source code is available on GitHub.</p><p>Yes, Linux, Windows, and macOS supported.</p><p>I've seen a good amount of people making videos about this browser, so I decided to give it a try :-)</p><p>Which means I am more likely to discontinue using Waterfox.</p><p>Next, I no longer use Vivaldi. Today I switched to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@brave" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>brave</span></a></span> instead.</p><p>What's that? Why are you staring me like this?</p><p>Don't tell me. I know what you gonna tell me. You don't have to tell me everything; I am absolutely aware of what will you tell me.</p><p>I don't trust Brave Browser either. In fact, that browser is quite suspicious to me and I, uh, dislike it.</p><p>Then why did I switched to it from Vivaldi?</p><p>Adblocking and trackerblocking is Brave's main focus. Brave, is, uh, "the best" when it comes to privacy. At least I've been told so......from Brave's website.</p><p>Before you tell me anything - yes, personally, I do believe Firefox (now Zen Browser in this case) is better. Yet, I, as a sort-of "backup", use Chromium browsers as well, if a Firefox browser will crash or will not react.</p><p>One more reason that I've done that double switch from Waterfox to Zen Browser and from Vivaldi to Brave Browser:</p><p>Vertical tabs. Yeah, I repeating myself, I know.</p><p>You see, I dunno what about you, but me personally, I want to see all tabs at once. And that's why I've done the switch.</p><p>I see you wanting to ask: "But why did you made the switch? You can have vertical tabs in Vivaldi and Waterfox too?....."</p><p>Truth to be told, it is. But I have some issues with these "vertical tabs".</p><p>Before I'll continue, please note that I run Linux Mint, 20.3, Cinnamon edition, on my Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 90z.</p><p>Alright.</p><p>Vivaldi's vertical tabs (second screenshot) aren't bad. However, at some time, the "+" button under tabs stopped to appear, which confused me at the time. Checking now, seems to be having bug fixed.........</p><p>I was about to use the bug as an excuse to use Brave's vertical tabs instead...maybe it was due to my OS....well, at least I said it previously that because of Brave's focus on adblocking and privacy, I'll switch to it. Yeah, sometimes ads do display in both Waterfox and Vivaldi, and yes, yes, and yes, I do, I DO have uBlock Origin and others well-recommended extensions installed. However, due to YouTube fight with adblockers, even they don't help, while Brave does blocks YouTube's blocker of adblockers.</p><p>My main browser will be Zen Browser now (which before was Waterfox) and my second browser will be Brave (which before was Vivaldi).</p><p>I am not saying that these browsers are perfect or so whatever, I am just trying them out. If I'll dislike either of these, I'll switch back.</p><p>Links:</p><p>To try out Zen Browser (with link to GitHub): <a href="https://zen-browser.app" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">zen-browser.app</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>To try, uh, Brave......<a href="https://brave.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">brave.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>*P.S. I plan to switch from Linux Mint to Arc Linux.*</p><p>*P.S.2. BTW, I didn't wanted to switch to Brave until I watched <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@distrotube" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>distrotube</span></a></span> 's one of the latest videos about why use Brave. Same about Arc Linux: his 1 year video helped me to understand the difference between Mint and Arc.*</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ZenBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZenBrowser</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/zen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zen</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/brave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brave</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/bravebrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bravebrowser</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firefox</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mozilla</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialmedia</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/waterfox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waterfox</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macos</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>windows</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/cinnamon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cinnamon</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/cinnamonedition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cinnamonedition</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chromium</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chrome</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lenovo</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/lenovothinkcentre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lenovothinkcentre</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ublockorigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ublockorigin</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ublock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ublock</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ublock_origin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ublock_origin</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ublockoriginlite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ublockoriginlite</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/uBlockOrgin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uBlockOrgin</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/arc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arc</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/arcbrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arcbrowser</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/arclinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arclinux</span></a></p>
