alt Hacker NewsCorrect me if I'm wrong but doesn't Firefox have all those features? Why put third party intermediary between you and the source?

Personally, I just like the design of Zen more. With Firefox I felt like I was stuck with the same old UI forever. I'm not sure what Mozilla was doing with those bags of money from Google. I imagine Arc managed to do a lot more with their browser with way less money than Mozilla.
Maybe I haven't looked too deep into Firefox multi-profile config, but:
- The distinction between pinned (soft-bookmarked) tabs and other tabs is very useful for me organizing things at work. (I didn't like when Arc added a setting to auto-delete other tabs X days after creating, though)
- Multiple "spaces" on the tab bar combined with global bookmarks at the top mean I can have a space for planning work and one for implementation work, and from both of those I have an easy link to Jira to search up tickets without needing to hop back and forth.
1) No they don't 2) Zen had them first
Firefox is "copying" from Zen, and I think that's good. I do like Zen, but I wouldn't mind having all the features in Firefox (and imho some of the UI lately in Zen is... weird)
