It's pretty sad that new and innovative companies only exist to get sold to big corporations these days. And I'm saying that as someone who did not like Arc
The best thing The Browser Company ever did was unintentionally making someone else decide to create Zen.
I liked some of the features of Arc. Fortunately they've pretty much all been added to Zen since then.
I completely forgot that Zen is Firefox-based. I've been avoiding some of these newer browsers because they're based on Chromium. I'll have to try it out!
What do you currently use? I've been consistently enjoying Waterfox.
I'm just using regular Firefox at the moment. I briefly tried Floorp but it felt a bit slow.
Well, except at work where we're forced to use Chrome for security reasons. They rely on Chrome Enterprise as part of their endpoint security solution, which has features like preventing copying from sensitive/confidential work webapps then pasting onto non-work sites, and other features that big companies use.
This is the way
Let's hope Zen doesn't get bought by someone.
Unfortunately that's the goal of a lot of startups. A startup is considered "successful" if they get acquired by a large company and employees of the startup make a lot of money.
