I’ve been using https://sigmaos.com/ for the past couple of years, and it works very similar

I went Brave. Some people (lobste.rs) dislike it because of some practices they regard as dodgy in commercialisation/scraping of sites. But, it conforms to chrome codebase and appears to work well.

There are plenty of people here who don't like them either. "Edgy" suggests they are kind of cool. Being an Australian I would use "Dodgy" instead.

Yeah, vertical tabs since 2023, included adblock, mostly vanilla Chrome except for the crypto offering that you can just turn off (still seems interesting as a ramp I may eventually use, but through another profile)

How does it compare to Arc?

I use chromium (through scoop) and Zen the last 8 months and I feel very very productive.

I just keep an Edge install / profile for my work because the company uses outlook and azure. But the real work is on the above (jupyter/ reading lecture notes/ bookmarks / social media / github+bitbucket)

What's your review of Zen? Seems like a good option

Not OP, but Zen is very good. So good I now rarely use any Chromium based browsers.

Is Zen not on Chromium?

Will I be able to install Chrome Extensions on it?

It is Firefox based, as for extensions no, it uses Firefox store, but popular extensions(like u block origin) are usually published on multiple stores

It is FF based. I use Downloadstar to scrap lectures. Chromium does not have one.

Fantastic, acceptable performance, no occasional sound like Chromium.

Very stable.

Switched to Firefox from Safari a few years ago, it has been great so far.

The only problem I encountered is with the containers feature, I couldn’t set it up for Google products (got an infinite redirect).

Zen browser uses a lot of Arc features and is based on Firefox.

It's sad they ditched a good browser I would have paid for for a new browser that has a ai chat on the side(what it seems to be so far). Anyway the best it's still Firefox/Zen imo

Firefox is good enough at this point. For those recommending zen just be cognisant of: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43443494 which is not a good look for a "privacy" focused browser.

I've moved back to Chrome and am testing out tab managing extensions. Not sure which one I'd like to go with yet, open to recommendations.
