A fast web browser that includes security features like ad-blocking, quick WhatsApp access and Coin Mining prevention.
A browser based on Google Chrome (or Chromium), ZenBrowser is a very lightweight Internet browser which focuses on security and privacy.
Unlike many of the most popular browsers which often add a lot of extra features, ZenBrowser does not and tends to keep things simple. Apart from extra privacy and security features like a built-in ad blocker and coin miner blocker, ZenBrowser doesn't have any extra special features.
The layout of this web browser has a different look to what we're mostly used to, featuring a black tab bar on the left-hand side which includes quick links to WhatsApp Web, Instagram and Spotify with currently opened tabs appearing here as just icons further below.
At first glace, ZenBrowser appears to be very secure, but it isn't currently possible to clear your history which may present problems, especially for a web browser like ZenBrowser. Additionally, ZenBrowser makes it difficult to manage your bookmarks; it's not possible to delete or organize them.
Despite its pitfalls, however, ZenBrowser is definitely different has potential and several odd uses.
