I am currently using Librewolf.
But Zen & floorp browser looks beautiful.
What do you suggest?
I personally like the looks of Zen.
I would also appreciate any tips to make Zen more secure than it already is.
Edit: consider this too

Zen left dev mode on in prod so everyone using it was exposed and the dev played it down iirc

You trying to coax me from librewolfs maturity for new browsers?
I use Floorp, haven’t tried Zen though. I remember some drama of Floorp temporarily closing it’s source but I believe it’s open source now. I like it for the side bar it comes with, it’s pretty useful for multitasking but I guess you could just open two windows and place them side by side
It’s indeed open source. No issues today.
Both are using Firefox base
I like to test browsers through www.browseraudit.com although im not sure how reliable the results are. I tend to stick with Browsers that score high 390’s / 400.
In case you are wondering, Floorp scored a 400, while Zen scored a 397. Not bad at all
Weird that both taskbar icons for both browsers are the same? (Yellow circle with white “W” on it). Both were downloaded for linux, zipped.

thats the wayland icon, for whatever running it didnt map the icon
To consider: sticking with the main browsers helps you resist fingerprinting
I think that it’s your browser, your choice.
I use Firefox, and don’t worry about a thing. :-) Not even what you like for a browser.
I tried zen and then someone told me something concerning I forgot about by now so I switched back. Floorp I’ve never even heard of, but I’d have a hard time taking anything called that seriously.
Floorp is just cool
Consider if a theme could accomplish what you want: It seems like they all use firefox under the hood, and if all you want is appearance, you shouldn’t need to change your entire browser. Keeping in mind that a smaller fingerprinting pool is less anonymous, if you care about that.
I haven’t actually used any other than librewolf though, so if switching provides any features you care about, go for it.
Zen video playback was awful for me, but I like almost everything else about it.
I use Zen for YouTube, and so does my producer. We don’t use Floorp as of right now.

I use Vivaldi and Zen as second. I need the sync function and I don’t want an Mozilla account, nor an third party solution. Vivaldo offers full sync ee2e no knowledge in the own server in Iceland.
Vivaldi isn’t open source. Not sure I’d trust that from a privacy perspective.
You can, part of the script corresponding to its UI is proprietary, but UI code is written in plain, accessible code for those who read HTML, CSS and JS and even moddeable by the user, but can’t be forked legally by Chrome or EDGE (🖕) nor by other browsers. It`s something like open proprietary freeware. There are no logs, tracking or any other crap. nor third party investors. Sync ee2e no-knowledge. The rest is OpenSource with several different licenses, specificated in the source package. As all other browser, collecting anonym statistical data (country for lenguage settings, OS, needed tecnical data)
I believe the term you’re looking for might be “source-available”
Yes, something like this, despite not fully OpenSource, it’s pretty trustworth because of this, there is nothing shady or hidden in Vivaldi.
If you can’t compile it yourself, it doesn’t count.
You are free to compile it for yourself if you are masochist enough to compile a browser from source, only you can’t do it legally distributing it under an other brand than Vivaldi. That is the only limit.
I promise it won’t work with the files they provide.
