    If Zen isn't inspired by Arc, it's certainly aiming for the same design philosophy. Firefox-based, and doesn't require you to log in just to open the browser.

    Zen is incredible browser. Entirely different experience. Everything, I ever wanted from browser: compact and lean toolbars, workspaces, customizablility. Many configuration options, but defaults feel just right. Also, it is maintained by the great team of programmers, which never shipped half-baked builds.

    Simply the best vertical tabs browser out there. Oh and its cross platform... and the GUI is amazing!

    Although Arc has a nice design, Brave can get just as good after going through the settings (turn on sidebar tabs etc.) while also still having the truckload of features.

    This browser tries to create different experience for web browsing. Another engine, great extensions compatibility. Still young, though.
