Zen Browser has released version 1.12.6b, which includes significant updates aimed at improving both functionality and security. This update brings the browser up to Firefox version 138.0.4, addressing multiple security vulnerabilities that enhance user protection. Notable features of this release include improved support for compact mode when using multiple toolbars, which resolves the previous issue of tabs erroneously indicating they were opened in the background.
Additionally, the update fixes problems related to GTK popups, tab unloading after closing the Glance feature, issues with invalid mods clearing the mod list, and accessibility enhancements for the sidebar scrollbar. Users can now open new links in split view more seamlessly, and the previously problematic 'All tabs' menu now shows text correctly when the toolbar is collapsed.
However, the update also introduces some breaking changes. The customizable user interface on the tab strip has been discontinued due to internal layout functionality changes, resulting in the automatic removal of buttons placed in that area. While users can attempt to re-enable this feature through custom CSS, it is not officially supported and could lead to potential stability issues.
Furthermore, the internal layout for workspaces and their icons has been revamped to avoid floating elements, promising a more stable configuration moving forward.
Overall, Zen Browser 1.12.6b focuses on enhancing user experience and security while implementing significant changes to its user interface.
Looking ahead, future updates may continue to prioritize user security and interface stability, possibly introducing new features based on user feedback and technological advancements. Users are encouraged to stay updated on changes and improvements as the Zen Browser evolves
