Zen Browser - A very nice, Firefox-based, clean UI browser (zen-browser.app)

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

Been using it as my only browser since launch, super pleased with the experience so far. Really hope this sticks around for a long time.

Maybe it's the portable version I'm using, but I can't figure out how to click and drag the window. There's nowhere up top to grab and move to another monitor/shift around on the screen. Am I going crazy or is there a different way to move it around?

right click on the space around the URL bar, choose "Customize toolbar...", and then check "Title Bar" in the bottom left corner.

hmm maybe its the portable version then..I can click and drag just fine. I can also adjust it with superkey+arrow keys or with kwin.

I added a "Flexible Space" portion to the top and that allowed me to click and drag. Otherwise I had to use Alt+Space+M to make it moveable.

You really shouldn't be using software that is in alpha stage of development, as the only browser.

There may be bugs and vulnerabilities no one has run into yet and bork your browser data.
