I haven't played around with it yet, but it looks neat

This small but mighty update includes some exciting new features and improvements to Zen, such as passkey support for MacOS, and a media player controller that's fully integrated with Picture-in-Picture mode.

I was a user, I even recommended it to people, but since the discovery of this issue I feel uneasy to continue using/recommending it. That dev response is appalling.

    Why would you be recommending a alpha/beta software to people? It just went stable last week, and I still wouldn't recommend it based on how young the project is.

    Recommends people to use alpha/beta software. is surprised it has alpha/beta issues.

    I honestly feel uneasy trusting any advice you have.

    Wow, harsh.

    It’s not like this is an oopsie bug, this is a major vuln knowingly indroduced by the dev, and their response is somewhat shocking.

    I recommend plenty of alpha/beta software to people, of course with the disclaimer that it’s not done yet, but sure, feel free to not trust me at all, stranger :)

    For the record, I did not encounter major bugs in my ~1 month of usage.

    I like Zen, but recently everytime I open a new window it opens up a weird, blank window as well.

    You can disable the state-less empty tab if you set zen.urlbar.replace-newtab on disabled in about:config

    Found in release notes 1.8b:

    Added support for a state-less empty tab (only enabled if 'zen.urlbar.replace-newtab' is enabled)

    It changes very fast, I've been going through a cycle of

    • months with no issues
    • a week of dealing with a very annoying issue

    They changed the new tab / split tabs feature recently and I think it broke some things
