I’ve used Another major positive is battery life. I’d become somewhat used to the less-than-ideal battery life I was getting with Arc, and slightly less so than Vivaldi. But after switching to Zen, I started to notice my battery was lasting quite a bit longer. As I write this (with Zen open in the background), my M2 MacBook Air is at about 88% battery, with 11 hours remaining. I know in practice it won’t *actually* last 11 hours, but that’s higher than any estimation that I can recall ever getting using a Chromium-based browser.

Also, the fun – and I will admit, relatively obnoxious – animations on this site do not work, but that should be remedied whenever Firefox fully implements the View Transition API. All in all, my experience with the Zen Browser has been positive, and, barring any unforeseen changes, I see myself sticking with it for the long haul. Or, at least until a shiny new browser pops up. 😅
