This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

Finally, I can replace Arc browser! Floorp was terrible.

I tried Floorp and didn't like it either, I'm glad there's a more promising looking project out there now. Still great to see more development in the Firefox/Gecko ecosystem. We don't need more Chromium garbage.

100% Chromium monopoly needs to die.

Floorp didn't impress me either, but I'm not sure yet that I can 100% replace my awesome Arc workflow. The "Air Traffic Control" with profile / space combinations is spectacular. But I'll find a way to make it work, because I really prefer FOSS when possible.

Just wish Zen adds small details/features like Arc team does. Small details/features are crucial in the early stages of the project.

My hopes are high but I’m trying to keep my expectations low. Just one guy and some contributors is a much different context than a bunch of venture capital. But I agree.
