From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would've expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.
Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn't for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks
How's the ad blocking or add-ons? Last I looked there was none.
Zen is based on Firefox, it supports 100% of firefox addons, as well as supporting its own community mods system for changing the browser itself
