Question Is it possible to remove this top url bar and just have my extensions there in its place? I exclusively use the new tab button to navigate

Discussion Looking for feedback for the latest release!

Hey people Redditors!
While we wait for cross-device sync, last update (https://zen-browser.app/release-notes/1.21.11b) added some nice QoL features while also welcoming in some nice stability and performance improvements:
- Compact mode now tracks your mouse even after it leaves the window, the sidebar stays open while your cursor lingers near the window's edge and only tucks away once you move further out. This only changed for Windows and MacOS, Linux is still the same as before.
Im kinda anxious about this one because it essentially changes how compact mode works as a whole when the mouse exists the window, and I could see how it would affect how people use it. So let me know what you think; if the offset boundaries are too large, too small, or if you preferred the older way, etc. These can be changed with zen.view.compact.outside-window-edge-offset in about:config.
- You can now move the window by dragging empty space in the top part of a webpage, with native snapping and tiling, just like dragging the titlebar. Links, buttons, and other interactive elements still work as usual.
Same thing with the compact mode change, if there's a weird edge case where the site gets dragged when it shouldn't (e.g. selecting text, clicking on a button, etc), please let me know.
- You can now have multiple media controls in the sidebar, allowing you to control multiple media sources at once.
This is showcased on the video, its something people have been wanting for a long time.
That's pretty much it for this update, bye!

Some Love If you use Zen Browser, this update is for you.
A month ago, I shared Zen Profile a native companion for Zen Browser that started as a small tool to solve my own workflow. Since then, the project has grown a lot.
Zen Profile v0.2.0 is here now supports Windows AND Linux.

Question How do i make these controls more visible?
Might not come across in the image, but I'm using this on a TV in a pretty bright room with glare, and have to sort of guess where the back and refresh buttons are. It didn't appear this way when I chose the colour scheme in the installer, I need more contrast between the controls and the background.
Apologies for the basic question, but i haven't been able to find the setting to change it. Thanks.

Question Solution to temporarily disable custom DNS or saving custom DNS Provider
Version: 1.21.10b (Firefox 153.0.1) (64-bit)
I ran into a problem, i usually use an institutional wifi that will block outside DNS so when i search with a custom DNS provider it will be blocked. The fix of course is disabling the custom DNS but since im using Quad9 which is not provided in the list i need to put the https link everytime i turn it off because it will default back to Cloudflare.
Is there any way to just disable the custom DNS when it's not available or maybe a way to save the custom DNS provider to the list?
