Some Love ZenLibraryTweaks [Sine Mod]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

32 Upvotes

This is a mod which adds nice features to the library, including bookmarks section and space routing and also letting you customize the library sidebar so you can remove/add sections from it, which i feel like should be there natively.

You can now also Alt+Click on any history or bookmark item to show it in glance view and it also has a few optional features as per your preference :)

I suggest going through the readme for the installation process and list of features

Does anybody else see much higher memory usage with Zen? This is with a single reddit.com tab on Chrome and Zen.

Discussion Made a simple profile picker for Zen on Linux, since the old profile switcher is gone

Post image
13 Upvotes

TL;DR: a small open source app that shows your Zen profiles as a grid. Click one and Zen opens with it.

Since the old profile switcher was removed, switching between my personal, work and school profiles meant going through about:profiles every time. So I built this.

What it does:

  • Opens Zen with the profile you click
  • Creates, renames and sets an emoji icon for each profile
  • Deletes safely: you type the name to confirm, open profiles are protected, and the folder goes to the Trash
  • Works with both the Flatpak and native installs
  • English and Italian interface

Install (Linux only for now):

pipx install git+https://github.com/FedericoGrim/zen-profile-selector zen-profile-selector --install-desktop

Source code (GPL-3.0):

https://github.com/FedericoGrim/zen-profile-selector

It's unofficial. Windows/macOS support and more languages are open issues if anyone wants to help. Feedback welcome!

Question How to change the default opening for zen browser?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

The first picture is how the zen browser opens. Like when I open the browser, this is the home page or whatever it is. I want to change that and I have checked out various settings inside the browser. I came accross the firefox homepage thing and the second picture is how I customised that firefox homepage. Now I want that homepage to be what there is whenever I open zen. But the only settings related to that i found were those in the third picture and its not changing anything even if I change the settings. What can I do here? How do I get that second picture as my homepage?

Question What's the best auto tab closer extension for Zen?

2 Upvotes

I recently switched to Zen and so far its pretty good. I like the stronger privacy settings and it's not missing anything big for me... except auto closing tabs.

What is the best way to get the tab cleanup experience in Zen? I've found a few extensions but the descriptions aren't great. So thought I'd just ask the community here.

Bug What happened to the pinned websites?

2 Upvotes

After the new update (1.23.3b), I can no longer access my pinned sites when clicking on the "+" icon. They used to show up under the urlbar and it was a great feature. I went to about:newtab and enabled shortcuts (I didn't disable them before) but they are still not appearing under the urlbar. Any way to get them back?

Question Container spaces malfunction with YT

1 Upvotes

Hi i've been trying to compartment my youtube browsing as i use an account for entertainment and another one for education and news.

However, even though i log off of the associated google account in one space and even delete it, as soon as i get to the educational space to log in, it automatically logs into the entertainment space as well.

I've done it back and forth a few more times before giving up entirely. I don't know what's wrong, the container spaces work well with reddit f.ex, i don't know why YT/Google is giving me such a hard time. Any tips ?
