I am not agreeing with it, but just trying to get people to use anything other than the status quo when it comes to software/apps… If it has an odd name, they are less likely to use it.
Yeah, I had given it a try a while back, I forget why I stopped. It seems like they fixed some of the annoyances I remembere maybe I’ll give it another go.
Relatively speaking, it’s pretty active. Just not in the grand scheme of things. I’ve been putting off trying it out, but you just might have given me the push I need.

Means that it completely relies on Mozilla’s development work for the actual engine.
Yup,
The non chromium / non Firefox browser that comes to mind is https://ladybird.org/

Rather sad about discord yeah.
Yea that’s fair, I haven’t kept up with Arc (the chromium equivalent of Zen) but I imagine they’re still ahead
I actually have some custom made Firefox user style that makes it look like arc :)
Oof, bad news for you. Arc is on life support. The company is pivoting to development of a different browser.
Story about it from the verge.
I might consider that a good thing if it means that the Firefox version can pull ahead 😄
