Zen Browser has announced the release of version 1.11.3b, which brings significant enhancements to user experience and resolves multiple bugs. This update is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with the release of Firefox 138, a pivotal moment for Zen Browser, prompting the introduction of features like tab folders. Additionally, the development team is working on an exciting new feature called 'Zen Library.'
The latest version introduces several new functionalities, especially for macOS users. One of the key updates allows users to cycle through tabs using the keyboard shortcuts cmd+opt+UP and cmd+opt+DOWN. Other improvements include a more intuitive text selection experience when blurring input, properly signed Windows binaries to prevent antivirus flags, and an updated media control state for WebRTC sites such as Discord and Google Meet, enabling users to easily mute or unmute their camera and microphone.
In terms of configuration, better support has been added for the `zen.theme.content-element-separation` setting in the about:config menu, enhancing the customization options for users.
The update also addresses various bugs that affected user interaction. These fixes include resolving issues with glance functionality during tab cycling, correcting animation glitches in compact mode, adjusting the URL bar height after exiting full-screen videos, ensuring the sidebar does not appear in compact mode when the floating URL bar is opened, and rectifying the Ctrl+T command, which sometimes opened new tabs in the current tab instead of a new one.
Overall, Zen Browser 1.11.3b not only improves the overall experience for users but also lays the groundwork for future enhancements and features that will continue to evolve the browser's capabilities.
In addition to these updates, the Zen development team is likely to focus on user feedback to further refine the browser's features. The upcoming 'Zen Library' could potentially serve as a hub for users to access additional tools, customizations, or resources that enhance their browsing experience even further. As the browser landscape continues to evolve, Zen Browser is positioning itself as a competitive option for users seeking a streamlined and feature-rich internet browsing experience
