Looks just like Arc

True. The biggest difference seems to be that Arc is based on Chromium and Zen is based on Firefox. Given the two, I'd pick Zen just for the engine diversity.

[–] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Not even that. In addition to being proprietary, it requires an account to use.

Should clarify that you're talking about Arc there

[–] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, true.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

?? You need an account to use a browser? That's a huge no from me then...

[–] ff0000@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Except Arc is basically abandoned by the company. Also Zen runs on Linux. Looks are somewhat similar but 🤷‍♀️

It's a straight up copy. Somewhat similar.... JFC

But open source and built from Firefox
