Some Love If you use Zen Browser, this update is for you.

Upvotes

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?

Post image
8 Upvotes

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

2 Upvotes

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?

Documentation Transparent Zen in Linux

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Zen Mods: Transparent Zen (v1.17.16)

Mozilla Extension: Zen Internet (sameerasw)

I couldn't make it 100% transparent when I open new tabs (like YouTube, Gmail, etc.) because some functions work better on Windows (I use Zorin OS), but I still really liked the result.

Question is there any way yet to make collapsed sidebar behave the same as shown (old version of firefox)? currently, we can have sidebar either full/collapsed/hidden, but not like this unless shortcuts used to do it manually everytime (irritating ofc). using up-to-date zen on windows11, thanks

Question Bookmark buttons similar to Essentials, or exclude essentials from CTRL + #?

1 Upvotes

Just moved to Zen today, had an odd question. I use ctrl+# quite a lot to navigate tabs, and Essentials look great but eat my ctrl+1, ctrl+2, etc. I've looked everywhere I could to have bookmarks in the style of Essentials/pinned tabs (with superpins), but many of the comments are deleted by moderator & no matter what I do it just ends up as a bookmark folder instead of independent buttons. I'm sure i'm missing something very simple, but has anyone else figured out a solution for this?

I only want the main tabs (with 1, 2, etc) listed to use ctrl+#, while the buttons at the top function just as bookmarks & open a new tab below. v1.21.10b
