I’m currently using Librewolf primarily, as it has good out of the box privacy settings. I really just added Ublock Origin on top of it. I’ve recently seen another uptick in Zen recommendations though, and I must admit that I like the UI. I’m sure it has worse defaults than Librewolf, so what are the things I should probably apply and what extensions should I download for some extra privacy?

And is the browser even any good beyond the initial impression?

    It’s currently my daily driver, seems to work fine. Though on my macbook, I can’t move the address bar to anything other than the sidebar. Not sure why (I think I just found out how to do that, in the settings, but I’ll have to check tomorrow evening, when I’m back home if my hunch is true). On my windows laptop no such issue.

      Also my daily. I’ve been a vertical tab person for many years with treestyle tabs and then sidebery. The tab management features in zen without the need of extensions is the primary selling point for me. Everything just works smoothly for my workflow and the UI is well thought out. I haven’t had any issues with stability or memory usage since moving over from firefox.
