Light🐧⁂<p>Not long after I can't find any reason to keep Zen Browser around I removed it. I still have one would say a web browser collection and rather have vastly different ones for different use cases. I already had Librewolf and Floorp that I continue to use, Chromium for the odd websites that aren't work that well in Firefex based browsers and lastly qutebrowser that use mainly for opening up links that I see in posts.<br>I think for now I can stop experimenting with browsers, except if I find one that I haven't tried yet that's preferably not a chromium based one. I tried out any of them that interested me, some of them are around for a long time that I wanted to check out, the others are the ones that I never tried. In the first category that I check out sometimes is Vivaldi. Those that fall into the later category Zen Browser, Floorp and Mullvad Browser.<br>While Mullvad Browser would be a good choice only if I use any VPN, which I don't and don't see a reason to use it without one.<br>And yes I have admit Zen and Floorp are both have some little bugs that I had encountered while using them, all of those where UI related. But until I found these bugs really annoying in Floorp I will continue to keep it around and use it.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/browsers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>browsers</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zenbrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zenbrowser</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/floorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>floorp</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/mullvadbrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mullvadbrowser</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chromium</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/qutebrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qutebrowser</span></a></p>
