Zen Browser has announced the release of version 1.15b, introducing several significant enhancements, including the highly anticipated feature of folders. This allows users to better manage their browsing experience by creating folders directly from the sidebar. Users can now easily drag and drop tabs into these folders, rename or delete them with a right-click, and rearrange them as needed to keep their projects and links organized.
In addition to the folders feature, the update includes various security fixes and updates the underlying Firefox engine to version 142.0. Aesthetically, the browser has adopted monochromatic icons for spaces and folders, alongside a small animation during updates to enhance the user experience.
Moreover, the update addresses multiple issues, such as resolving the twitching problem in compact mode when hovering over the URL bar, ensuring pinned tab titles appear correctly in search results, and fixing performance problems related to the pre-loading of pinned tabs at startup.
Additional changes in this version include adjustments for third-party domains to open in their own tabs when accessed from pinned and essential tabs, as well as enhancements for Windows users to provide a more native feel. New profiles or those resetting to default shortcuts will now have next/previous workspace assigned to ctrl+alt+LEFT/RIGHT, the toggle for compact mode set to ctrl+S, and saving pages assigned to ctrl+alt+S. Furthermore, the compact mode has been modified to include a clearer separation between the sidebar and the window edge.
In summary, Zen Browser 1.15b brings a wealth of new features and improvements aimed at enhancing user organization, security, and overall functionality, reflecting the developers' commitment to user feedback and continuous improvement.
Looking ahead, future updates could further enhance user customization options, introduce advanced privacy features, or improve integration with popular extensions to keep up with evolving user needs and industry standards
