I like the look of this, have you used it much? I've been using a mixture of Fennec on mobile and Librewolf/Waterfox on desktop for a bit now, but some of Zen's features look pretty useful.
Used Waterfox for years, made the switch to Zen which has quickly become my browser of choice. Mostly because I never realize it's running. I can have, and currently do have a million tabs open and it barely affects my system. Which is nice.
Definitely recommend replacing Fennec with IronFox on mobile, it's a fork of Mull, so it'll be a solid privacy upgrade!
What's the add-on situation like? I've been using Iceraven because of its extensive add-on support, way beyond Mozilla's curated list. But privacy centered it is not.
The add-on's are solid. They have an elaborate curated list, plus you can access any of the mobile extentions by just searching for em.
I've been using it for quite a while and it has almost eliminated my needs for another browser. It's pretty good
It's my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don't use them that much.
