What is it now?

I mostly like zen. But I dont like that pressing on the new tab button brings up a floating search menu instead of taking me to my homepage.

Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.

Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.

Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn’t a part of that network, and I’m not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn’t.

IIRC there’s an option to restore regular new tabs in the settings

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poob

From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (“to fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese 崩 (MC pong, “to collapse, crumble”).[1]

3. to lose, fail
   Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
   Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class

Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.

I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn’t like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn’t let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.

I genuinely use Floorp as my main daily browser lol

You can switch to the legacy new tab behavior via about:config, see https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/urlbar#enable-legacy-new-tab-mechanism

theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating

That’s “Floorp”, not to be confused with “Florp”, which I see on Weebly:

I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.

I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that’s the problem.

This is all kinds of wrong. Fuck Brave and fuck Chromium.

Yeah I feel like OP is either lying or incompetent
