Did you took a look at the zen browser? It's an arc clone based on Firefox https://zen-browser.app/



I did. It’s like 20 % an Arc clone, and 80 % of UX papercuts. Like, you can’t have ‘add tab’ button on top when the new tab gets added to the bottom. Or that one sidebar button opens a side window to the right of the sidebar, while another below it opens the favorites to the left and moves the whole sidebar from underneath your mouse.

Looks like a minimal effort css restyle of Firefox.


nice. will probably try it in the future.

but the for-some-reason-not-obvious revelation that it's just a product that some team somewhere is working on and the fact that a browser is an important piece of software brought me back to safari (not sure if joke's on me, but in this case I trust apple engineers to do a more thorough job in ensuring my data is secure).


i'm rooting for them to succeed, but if the concern is security, switching your daily driver browser to a brand-new browser that's still in alpha is unfortunately not a good idea.


It's not in Alpha though, they've been around for years and have launched formally.
