About Zen Browser
Zen Browser is a Firefox-based desktop browser designed around vertical tabs, with workspaces for separating projects, a compact mode that hides the tab bar, glance previews and split view. It is developed by a small community team, funded through sponsors and donations, and available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
