Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

You know, I've been trying Zen and although I still prefer horizontal to vertical, I can see I was actually somewhat wrong about what I said.

The sidebar is actually expandable (they don't make that clear) and if you do expand it beyond its default, you can actually see more of each tab's titles. It actually helps a lot if you have a shitload of tabs.

If you are like me however and typically try to have only a smaller number of tabs pinned (or consistently open), typically no more than like a third of your screen width at most, then there really is not much of a difference unless you're already used to vertical over horizontal tab bars.

I've been trying to keep less tabs open.

it's not easy while test-driving multiple search engines for every search lol

Oh I get it! It's certainly not easy. Haha. I struggle with it myself, but I've noticed that my mental health improves the more uncluttered my external life is, and my browser is a part of the latter.

"A tidy room is a tidy mind" and all that... It's not 100% accurate, but it's got a ring of truth to it, I've found, at least for me.
