I’ve been trying the very interesting @zenbrowser for a week now. I believe this is my new browser after years of using and loving Vivaldi. I’ll talk more about it tomorrow on @pythonbytes.

One feature dear @zenbrowser team, it would really be great if it came with built in ad blocking that *removed the empty spaces where ads used to be*. I have to use extensions for this where in Vivaldi that wasn’t necessary.

Hey. I took a first serious look at @zenbrowser today after your post (somehow, I never investigated it when previously mentioned) and wow. A FLOSS very much feature-rich browser based on Firefox? I might seriously consider dual-running alongside Librewolf and who knows, maybe even move over from Librewolf once.

Eagerly looking forward to the next episode of @pythonbytes now.

@Adda @zenbrowser @pythonbytes It’s pretty amazing, right? I have the tab bar on the left and collapsed but with a hot-key to open it when needed (though want to do so less and less). With Zen + nextdns.io it’s really solid. Only needs to hide the removed ads sections better but the ad-block extension fixes that for now.

@mkennedy @Adda @zenbrowser @pythonbytes Checking it out now, thanks. Which ad block extension to you recommend along with nextdns?
