I use chromium (through scoop) and Zen the last 8 months and I feel very very productive.
I just keep an Edge install / profile for my work because the company uses outlook and azure. But the real work is on the above (jupyter/ reading lecture notes/ bookmarks / social media / github+bitbucket)
What's your review of Zen? Seems like a good option
Not OP, but Zen is very good. So good I now rarely use any Chromium based browsers.
Is Zen not on Chromium?
Will I be able to install Chrome Extensions on it?
It is Firefox based, as for extensions no, it uses Firefox store, but popular extensions(like u block origin) are usually published on multiple stores
It is FF based. I use Downloadstar to scrap lectures. Chromium does not have one.
Fantastic, acceptable performance, no occasional sound like Chromium.
Very stable.
