I intended to replace Vivaldi but ended up replacing Brave with Zen Browser.
However, I couldn't let go of Vivaldi due to my thousand-plus bookmarks and hundreds of speed dials, as I couldn't find a way to transfer them to Zen, which also has a different workflow.
That said, Zen is a fantastic browser!

I just can't do it. I can't get over the vertical tabs in zen. Anyone got some good firefox CSS themes or browser recommendations?
Oh. Minął mi właśnie miesiąc z #zenbrowser
Arc może się schować.
If you are using #Firefox or one of its derivatives like #zenbrowser on #Linux with a trackpad, you might have had sub-optimal scrolling experience.
You can (mostly) fix it by going to about:config and setting `apz.gtk.pangesture.delta_mode` to 2 and `apz.gtk.pangesture.pixel_delta_mode_multiplier` to something lower like 25.
The solution was found in this thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752862

Dobra, mam problem z #ZenBrowser — mimo ustawienia oddzielnych "profili", i tak i tak ładuje mi stronę z zalogowanymi danymi.
Muszę chyba wrócić do #Firefox albo znaleźć coś, co nie jest oparte na #Chrome.
Jakieś dobre sugestie?

I've stopped using Firefox since the drama a while back... Using #ZenBrowser and #LibreWolf mainly on macOS and on #Android, #Ironfox and #Cromite (as an alt browser). But I'm having quite a lot of website functionality problems when using Ironfox. Can't create accounts, forms not working, can't use #webauthn, pages not loading correctly, checkouts or shopping sites broken, etc. I guess I need to have #Firefox still installed... It's annoying. What's your workaround? #browsers #androidbrowser
Z polecenia testuję ponownie #ZenBrowser i jest inaczej niż na #Chrome i #Firefox.
Korzystanie z Internetu staje się ponownie przyjemniejsze.
Dobra, z polecenia sprawdzam sobie #ZenBrowser i jest chwilowo dziwnie, ale działa całkiem ciekawie.
Browsers: I've been seeing a lot on Zen Browser these days. What's your experience with it?

After the setup I configured the settings, browsed the web. #ZenBrowser was working like it used to and the FS didn't go haywire.
Finally, it fixed it.
I think this meme (see the image) suits me. In #windows, you've the troubleshooter but on #linux, you're the troubleshooter.

This time I took the former approach. I opened #GnomeSoftwareCenter and deleted #ZenBrowser without app data. And it worked (for real this time). Still I had zen app data lying in my system. So I manually deleted every one of them one by one. Afterwards I rebooted my system one last time and again installed Zen.

I again rebooted the system and this time deleted every folder within `.../storage/default/` folder. Then tried to uninstall #ZenBrowser along with app data. And this time it worked, I uninstalled the browser (so it seems). However afterwards the FS went read-only. I rebooted. And there was ZEN, casually waiting for me in the taskbar.

I traced the error to a certain file within `~.var/app/app.zen_browser.zen/.zen/nh9jf1x8.Default (release)/storage/default/https+++www.youtube.com/cache/morgue/81/` folder. I manually deleted the file and again tried to uninstall #ZenBrowser along with app data. It again caused an error saying that this time the error is within `.../https+++www.mastodon.social/` folder.

Hey, so after two days of debugging I finally figured it out. I solved it. It was indeed the #ZenBrowser. The problem was with the Zen data stored in my system. I think some of it got corrupted.
