I accidentally opened 3 windows so I just closed 2 of them but now I can't get my tabs anymore 😭😭

Edit: lost all my spaces, essential and everything.

Edit 2: UPDATE : Fixed following this commentor guidance https://www.reddit.com/r/zen_browser/s/Gwf5hjcGmx

Wallpaper link is given by this legend(I didn't have it) : https://www.reddit.com/r/zen_browser/s/abWVz28dyn

Go show her some love and what she might be missing (1-year-old RAM usage post? Really). Thanks to her for shoutout to place Zen at top without being sponsored.

TL;DR: Z-Sync, a free and open source companion app, with Spaces, tabs and Essentials on iOS and Android. Repo and download links: https://github.com/Kjell6/Z-Sync

First of all I want to make it very clear: this app is unofficial and not affiliated with Zen. I failed to make that clear enough in the past. I want to apologize to everyone I may have deceived in any way, and I especially want to apologize to the Zen team for creating this inconvenience. That being said, I would like to re-announce the app:

I've used Zen as my daily driver for a while, and the one thing that always bothered me was that my whole setup lived on my desktop. Z-Sync is the thing I built to fix that: a free, open-source companion app (not a whole browser) for iOS and Android. If anyone here remembers the old Arc companion app, that's roughly the idea.

What it does:

• Syncs all your spaces, Essentials and tabs between your phone and desktop
• Share a link from any app straight into a space, as a pinned or normal tab
• A small quick browser, so you can check a link or tab without leaving the app

You simply need to sign in with the Mozilla account you already use (with cross-device sync enabled) and you are ready to go!

It's completely free, no ads, and open source under MIT. The app is live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. You can find the links and source code in the GitHub repo:

https://github.com/Kjell6/Z-Sync

I'd really love feedback: what's missing, what's broken, what would actually be useful to you? I'll be in the comments. Bugs and ideas can also go straight to the GitHub issues.

Edit: a note on safety. You sign in directly with Mozilla, and the app never sees your password directly. It doesn't request things like saved passwords or credit cards (You can also exclude this Data from cross-device sync in Zen). There is no server of mine and no analytics, and what it reads stays on your device. It's open source, so anyone can check it. Everyone should decide for themselves, and it's completely fair if it still feels too unsafe for you.

Edit 2: I underestimated how much this matters to people, so, to be clear: the code is AI generated. I reviewed the code and the architecture throughout development, with a focus on security, especially around sync, and users on both platforms have tested it. I still put a lot of work into this, and I do not think it makes the app any worse

Hey all, quick update on Zia since the teaser and the early alpha.

It's now in beta and does a lot more than last time. The video shows most of it, but the main bits:

• Toolbar takes the colour of whatever site you're on
• Cleaner address bar (top or bottom)
• Redesigned sidebar: coloured folders, 5,000+ icons, smooth dragging, hover cards
• Hold ⌘/Ctrl to see tab numbers and jump to any tab
• Glance gets a little preview that pops out of the tab
• Frosted glass on the compact sidebar, hover cards and address bar
• Drop a tab on the page to split it, and keep splits as essentials
• Bookmarks and History as a second sidebar
• Music player card, PiP you can throw off the screen edge to tuck away, Multiview for watching a few streams at once
• Nicer PDF viewer

Works on macOS, Windows and Linux. Best with dark mode and the "Sidebar and Top Toolbar" layout. Pretty much everything can be turned off in settings if it's not your thing.

Install: get Sine, turn on JS mods from unofficial sources, then paste z1n-k/zia into Sine Mods.

Still beta, so if something looks off, drop a screenshot in the comments or open an issue. Thanks to everyone who tried the alpha, the feedback helped loads.

Due to recent Zen updates, the previous versions of Better zen gradient picker mod were extremely buggy, I have finally took some time to make the mod much more stable, and feel like its a part of zen.

v2.0 is now available on github

Repo: https://github.com/JustAdumbPrsn/BetterZenGradientPicker

I ran into a weird visual bug where the sidebar turns semi-transparent, making the background text and UI overlap directly with the sidebar items (as seen in the screenshot).

Has anyone else experienced this or knows what might be causing it?

3 months ago i did this Youtube Ambient mode for Zen Browser,that used youtube native light feature and allowed it to be transparent and strethed it to color full page

Yesterday i Learned that there is addon that did same effect better Addon link, with much more user control

the only downside of it is, it by default it doesnt have any setting that would allow it to work with transparency so i, (and by "i" i mean chatgpt 6.1) made this companion addon that only role it to add opacity to the effect

thought, might as well share it

since it was made for my needs i didnt bother for it to be singed by mozilla or made avalible on addon store installing it (outside of temporary install option) does require to set xpinstall.signatures.required in about:config to false (if enough people express interest in it i might look in to singning it )

do not trust any software that wants you to install that way, You can rename .xpi file to .zip and read what exacly it does, still its best to avoid it if you can (of course you can trust me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Edit: Waiting for review by Mozilla, when it passes it will be avalible here link (it can take few days to weeks)

I just updated to the newest version, and it seems that when you have enough spaces so that the final one has it's three dot menu and theme menu on the same vertical as the new space button, those buttons are unclickable. The only fix is to move it to the left so they can be clikced.

Not a fan of the new Library so far, as it removes options (such as "clear all downloads") to add some eye candy.

These toolbar elements (History, Undo Closed Tab, Spacer, Zoom) were displayed before, and are still there in the "Customize Toolbar...", as seen on the screenshot, but quitting the customization menu swiftly hides all the added elements and there's an empty space now.

Not sure how to get them to display again, any ideas? Toggling "zen.library.enabled" doesn't help.
