There was an issue with Zen about a year ago, it used to send Mozilla telemetry requests, and the developers had ignored any complaints on it. Anyone knows if the situation has changed since?
I found nothing on how private Helium is. People usually just say it is garbage because of the engine, but that’s not what I care about.
Helium is great. I love how it focuses on having 0 distractions. No popups, great default settings.
This is what zen is doing on fedora.
whats this software blocking dns queries? is it pihole?
Since my computer is having some memory issues, I keep an eye out for it. Watching a YouTube video in Firefox took around 700 mb, opened it in Zen browser and it took >1 gb. Zen overall doesn’t seem very responsive.
I’ve been using both, helium mainly for sites that needs webgl (mostly my self hosted stack) and jellyfin, Grimmory, and zen for docs, dev tools and things that requires login like codegerg, kagi, OSM etc, and also got librewolf for everything else
Zen is my main browser and Helium is my main chromium-based browser. I love both very much 🥰💋💯
I’ve been using Zen and really love it. As far as I know, they aren’t sending anything to Mozilla, but I never looked extremely deeply into that, so I could be wrong
