I was pretty happy with Zen until updates started to bring in some bugs and lag. It takes up the most resources to start and the URL bar peeks out a majority of the time in compact mode. If you prefer new tabs and are in compact mode the side tabs don't hide and cover a large part of your bookmarks bar while on a new tab page and it feels messy.
I went back to Floorp for a bit, but inevitably ended up back on Qutebrowser. The only downside to Qute is half the greasemonkey scripts to bypass YouTube ads don't work and the python-adblock plus Brave adblock don't block first party ads.
You can get around the first problem by adding a shortcut to bring up weblinks that open in MPV, but I haven't found a solution to the second problem yet.
