My experience with Zen browser so far:

Pros:
- Best implementation of vertical tabs i have seen on a firefox-based browser
- Split view is a good feature, maybe i should set it up to work like emacs, idk
- Compact mode is actually nice, to the point i could replicate my workflow from Pale Moon
- Pretty much, the vast majority of websites will work without issues (the ones that don't are dogshit anyway)
- Access to all the add-ons i need

Cons:
- The border around the window is too thick for my taste
- Animations feel slow (used to have animations disabled)
- Being a firefox fork, unfortunately it inherits a bunch of firefox-isms, like bad defaults, preference to larger UI elements, hiding more advanced options at about:config sometimes with cryptic values etc.

So far, i'm satisfied with it. I'll keep it for now.

i have two questions about firefox. First, why firefox sets the access keys to alt-shift by default, considering that many people use those keys to switch between keyboard layouts (thus making the key combination unusable) and second, why do they put that option in about:config with a seemingly cryptic value, expecting anyone to configure it with barely any documentation? Are you fucking nuts? neocat_angry

Announcement: Firefish will enter maintenance mode

For those who have been supporting Firefish and me, I can’t thank you enough. But today, I have to make an announcement of my very difficult decision: As of today’s release, Firefish will enter maintenance mode and reach end-of-support at the end of the year. The main reasons for this are as follows.

In February, Kainoa suddenly transferred the ownership of Firefish to me. This transition came without prior notice, which took me aback. I still wish Kainoa had consulted with me in advance. At that time, some people were already saying that “Firefish is coming back”, making it challenging to address the situation. Also, since there were several hundred active Firefish servers at that point, I could not suddenly discontinue the project, so I took over the project unwillingly.

Over the past seven months, I have been maintaining Firefish alone. All other former maintainers have left, leaving me solely responsible for managing issues, reviewing merge requests, testing, and releasing new versions. This situation has had a significant impact on my personal life.

Frankly speaking, there are numerous bugs and questionable logic in the current Firefish codebase. While I attempted to fix them, balancing this work with my personal life made it clear that it would take ages, and I’ve started thinking that I can’t manage this project in the long run. Additionally, vulnerabilities have been reported approximately once a month. Addressing vulnerabilities, communicating privately with reporters, and testing fixes have proven overwhelming and unsustainable. Moreover, a certain percentage of users have made insulting comments, which have severely affected my mental well-being and made me fearful of opening social media apps.

I will do my best to refund the donations made to Firefish via OpenCollective, but that’s not guaranteed.

firefish.dev and info.firefish.dev will remain operational until the end of February 2025, after which they will return a 410 Gone status.

Server admins may downgrade Firefish to version
20240206/1.0.5-rc and migrate to another *key variant, or may fork Firefish to maintain.

Downgrade instructions:

Thanks,
naskya
