So I came across this Browser, it's Firefox based, has some useful features and disable the telemetry by default. The privacy policy seems good to. It is still in alpha but I was curious if anybody knows anything about the project that would speak against it privacy wise?

Their privacy policy says this

5.2. Do Not Track

Zen Browser automatically honors "Do Not Track" requests by default. We ensure that no tracking of your activity occurs, in compliance with this setting

DNT is voluntary, no one respects it, it makes you stand out, and is a known tracking vector.
