Just switched to arc on windows. It's really buggy but I wanted to still give it a chance because it feels really nice when it does what it should. I hoped it will get better over time. Still hope so but I don't believe anymore...

I've been using the Zen fork of Firefox and have been enjoying it greatly. It's still pretty early, and a lot of the Firefox issues are still there, but regardless it's felt better than any other browser I've used lately.

And since it's Firefox, it's unaffected by he Mv3 bullshit

Yeah Zen is really nice, was going to try Arc one time but was immediately turned off by the account requirement.

This looks great, how have I not heard of that?

Can you install Firefox addons? How is keyboard navigation?

It can install addons like any other FF fork, and there's an entire settings tab with a long list of keybinds.

Nice, that's great to hear! I'll give it a try

I hope you like it! Zen with AVX2 finally ended my years of browser hopping.

I'm not sure I'll stick to it yet, since I really heavily on vim bindings through Tridactyl, and I got a feeling they won't play nice (yet?). Zen is also not packaged on nix yet, so configuring it declaratively is going to be a pain

But I like what I see, so I'll give it a shot! If it's not for me, I can still recommend it to others, some of my friends are newly moving to Linux and I'll take that chance to get them to ditch Opera, this might replicate some of the features quite nicely. Cheers!

Just switched to it and really liking it so far. But it's missing folders for now... But they say they will push them the day Mozilla releases them to stable Firefox. I hope this project survives!
