About

Zen is the best way to browse the web. Beautifully designed, privacy-focused, and packed with features. We care about your experience, not your data.

  • Split view
  • Web sidebar
  • Tab groups
  • Customizable interface
  • Vertical tabs
  • And more…

Who publishes this

The creator demonstrably controls this app id: Flathub verification, the hosting account owns the namespace, or a well-known file on their domain.

  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source (x2)
    source:prebuilt
  • verified on Flathub: the developer proved they control this app id
    publisher:flathub
