The reviewer switched from Vivaldi after frustrations with session loss and its closed-source nature, and now uses Zen as their daily driver across all machines. Key advantages highlighted include Gecko engine support (preserving full uBlock Origin functionality unaffected by Chrome's Manifest V3 changes), browser diversity, and a polished modern UI. The review walks through workspace creation and split view demos, notes Zen is still in beta but stable, and concludes it delivers what Firefox should have built years ago. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
