I've tried Zen Browser for 5 days as a replacement of Arc, and decided to give up for now. What I liked about Arc is: - Sidebar - Folder support in Sidebar - Multi profile support within a single window After testing several browsers, I picked Zen and I spent 5 days. Here's the screenshot.

I can’t see the appeal of the sidebar. Tried Zen but I’m too used to normal tabs. What am I missing? 🤔

Nothing :) I guess I'm too used to sidebars now since Arc. I'm testing Zen as an Arc alternative. So if you don't like sidebars, then I don't think you'll find Zen interesting.

I tried, but not being able to switch to horizontal tabs was a dealbreaker 🥲

What do you mean? Like splitting horizontally?

No, no, just the typical tab bar at the top of the browser, instead as a sidebar. That change it too much for me. Maybe it’s about getting used to it?

ahah, yeah. indeed that's a lot of visual change.

It’s funny because the first thought with the sidebar is “ugh, such a waste of space”. In a 27” monitor with full screen browser with so, so much empty space on the sides of the websites 🤣
