Zip. Zap. Zen. ⚡️

ICYMI: With the latest release, we made it easier for you to split tabs! Just drag one tab on top of another. — zen-browser.app#1.19b

Introducing: Live Folders! All your News and Blog Posts (via RSS Feeds), GitHub Pull Requests and Issues directly in your browser, automatically, without the need to manually check websites. — zen-browser.app/release-note...

This might be not the best alternative, but we also posted the blogpost in our subreddit. If you want to check it out there, please do so. www.reddit.com/r/zen_browse... Meanwhile, we have decided to not use Substack again. Thanks for making us aware of them being problematic.

As promised: Our concept behind Window Sync. zenbrowser.substack.com/p/the-concep...

Window syncing is here! Multiple open windows will now stay in sync, so changes in one will automatically reflect in all others. — zen-browser.app/release-note...

We made it easier for you to organise your tabs by implementing a new drag-and-drop system! 📚

Custom tab icons and collapsible pins 👀

Happy Holidays! 😊🎄🎆💚

We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.

Downloading Zen on Black Friday will give you the same peace and calmness for the same price as everyday: it's free!

Small update with a big quality of life fix, made by the community: If a link opens a new tab, going back now closes that tab. Huge thanks to Kyle for shipping it! — github.com/zen-browser/...

Zen was a top open source project on GitHub in 2025 GitHub's annual Octoverse report just dropped, and guess what? Zen stood out as one of the top open-source projects of 2025!

A little control goes a long way. Meet the new Site Control Centre in Zen. A single menu for the page you’re on. Take a screenshot, bookmark a site, open extensions, or check site permissions; all without digging through settings. Now available in 1.17b — zen-browser.app/release-note...

In the latest Zen update we introduced some improvements to the command bar, which now understands when you're not looking for a website. Just press the tab key and your search narrows down to actions like pinning a tab, opening an extension, creating a split view and much much more.

Don’t just browse. Command. With Zen's new command bar, navigating your browser isn’t a chore. Switch spaces, pin tabs, open extensions, create folders. All in seconds. Now available in 1.16b — zen-browser.app/release-note...

‼️A little reminder to our Windows users: If you didn't update to version 1.15.4b or later yet, please do that as soon as possible as the previous certificate will expire soon.

Since we released folders, we've been curious: what's your favourite way to use folders to organise your life? Please show us your Setup! 🗂️✨

Web browser @zen-browser.app 1.15b has been released, introducing folder support for easier tab grouping in the sidebar. This release also features UI improvements with monochromatic icons, system fixes, and other enhancements and bug fixes. buff.ly/f7iHC8T
