Zen browser stands out for its enhanced UI/UX with a vertical sidebar, smooth animations, and the Gecko rendering engine, offering an alternative to Chromium-dominated browsers. It features effective tab management using workspaces and containers, supports Firefox extensions, and is available across major desktop platforms.

As a user coming from Arc, I’d love to try Zen. But the downside for me is it’s using Gecko and gecko don’t have a good track record on web compatibilities - specially when it comes to streaming services and some bank sites I personally uses.
