What is it now?
-
The only problem is it isn’t based on Chromium tho. That just doesn’t suffice anymore.
I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn’t been able to keep up in terms of web standards.
More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.
I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.
So now I’m on Brave, and honestly it’s way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.
I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.

I mostly like zen. But I dont like that pressing on the new tab button brings up a floating search menu instead of taking me to my homepage.
Edit: thanks for pointing me to about config peeps.

What does Brave have to do with palantir? Have i missed something?
Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.

What does Brave have to do with palantir? Have i missed something?
Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.
Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn’t a part of that network, and I’m not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn’t.

IIRC there’s an option to restore regular new tabs in the settings

Its literally on poob. You can stream it on poob rn
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poob
From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (“to fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese 崩 (MC pong, “to collapse, crumble”).[1]
- to lose, fail
Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class
Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.

I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn’t like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn’t let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.

I genuinely use Floorp as my main daily browser lol

You can switch to the legacy new tab behavior via about:config, see https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/urlbar#enable-legacy-new-tab-mechanism

theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating

That’s “Floorp”, not to be confused with “Florp”, which I see on Weebly:

I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.

Yeah, I’ve used websites like that. So I told Firefox to spoof my user agent to be chrome and now I just use those websites anyway.
I’m not interested in handing my data over to Palantir any more than I am to Google, so I’m not going to use Brave.
I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that’s the problem.

This is all kinds of wrong. Fuck Brave and fuck Chromium.

Yeah I feel like OP is either lying or incompetent

I thought it was cool too, but I have Heimdall running on a docker container. I wanted to be able to easily get to that, and it felt like the default behavior of Zen was getting in the way.

Damn region locks, poob has nothing for me because I’m not within the USA or Canada

Friend, they’re not “standards” if only one browser supports them.
Also, you should probably switch from Brave to literally anything else.

Well it really depends on your use case because as a daily driver I never see any buggy page. Not even the enhanced protection thing is blocking pages
