I tried Zen again after this article and it's improved a lot since 2 months ago.
I'm still missing some keybinds (some keybinds I used on Vivaldi are not available, and some keybinds that are available (workspace switching) don't seem to work),
also missing my custom theme from Vivaldi (I might just fork a Zen theme and make it that way) ,
and I still have some issues regarding the ability to remove the top bar (namely, when getting the URL bar with Ctrl-L, it calls the entire top bar instead of just the URL bar, and I can't seem to make that disappear with just ESC. Sometimes it just hangs there no matter what I do, just for the sake of being annoying. Also, it's not even disabled, just hidden and if you accidentally hover over the top of the window, it's back! Absolutely infuriating!)
but other than that, it's pretty great!
It's actually quite impressive for Alpha software. What's with 2024 and super stable Alphas of projects that make power user capabilities accessible and easy to use for everyone? First, COSMIC DE and now Zen Browser!
