i would like to move from zen to firefox, but as of right now i’m somewhat unhappy with the vertical tabs in firefox. i’ll keep an eye on them though and make the switch once they got some more features (like only appearing when mousing to the left edge of the window and staying entirely hidden otherwise)
You should try the Shimmer userchrome tweaks along with the Sideberry extension. With both of them it's even better than Zen IMO.

Zen Browser is open source and in active development!

It’s dead and they’re replacing it with an AI-first browser. Gross.
If you want the main things Arc gives you (vertical tabs, tab groups), you can get them with Firefox or a Firefox spinoff like Librewolf.
Does any other browser let me open 2 windows with the same synced tabs? Also, permanent per-space tabs, please.

Zen browser is basically FireFox made to look like Arc
Zen makes something like 84 external connections, which is around double what even Edge makes (and Microsoft has basically become a malware company).

This was patched, and the vast majority were just fetching thumbnails.

Why do people want vertical tabs? It feels as if it just takes up more space, and my muscle memory after all these years makes me move to the top. I always go back to horizontal tabs after using vertical tabs for a day.

Zen is a lot more than just vertical tabs. And I have never run into any "pains and bugs".

Ok, thanks! Good to know there's a backup plan. For now Arc still works fine, just no updates anymore.

Because web content is increasingly mobile and vertical-oriented. So the horizontal space is usually empty anyway.
Sometimes new things take time to get used to but if you try it for more than a single day you may find that you like it.

The Browser Company, the developer behind the Arc Browser, has announced that Arc is going away
Where? Where did they do this? Why is there no link? They said several times, very recently, that it was not going away. They were just basically going into maintenance mode.
please know this: we’re not trying to shut Arc down.

No Linux build, not git link, why would anyone care?

Makes sense. The sites I am using most probably have not adopted the new style yet. And like I said, the hardest part is the muscle memory of looking at the top for my tabs and moving my mouse to the top to select a tab.

Because 96% of people aren't using Linux to browse the web.

I really liked the layout of Arc, but ended up going back to Firefox because uBlock still works on it.

it couldn't be too popular as a windows only project. I assume it was too lite known, like I never even heard about it here or other places

tab groups in firefox are surprisingly good! even alongside a tab group management addon. they complement each other, like when you don't want to create a bunch of subgroups for an exclusive view but just collapse them

because when you have more than 8 tabs open on a horizontal tab row, the tab handles start to become narrower and tab titles become unreadable and almost useless. with vertical tabs tab titles can be as long as you see fit, and the tab title does not take away space from other tab handles so more can fit. essentially its more space efficient I think.
but I don't use it because my firefox theme breaks down when I set up vertical tabs, and everything will be white, even though I don't even use userchrome customizations
