    The direction of the development, the current and planned features and the customization are amazing for such a young project and I am not missing anything (especially the Google tracking and the AI push) of Chrome.

    Zen Browser is open source and privacy friendly. Not based on blink engine from Google but instead Gecko. What's not to like?

    Zen is a remarkably fast and customizable browser, and possibly the best I've ever used. Especially considering how new it is, the amount of features is astounding. Additonally, the themes can be anything from recolors to adding whole new features, and you can have multiple on at once. Pretty much the only thing it doesn't have is DRM content. Because of the $5000 price tag on DRM lisences, it's not (currently) financially advisable for Zen's developer to buy one. Hopefully someday!

    QtWebEngine is chromium based. Finally a chromium-based open-source browser that seems trustworthy, comes without any google components and that is easy to install in Linux from official repos

    Chrome fans will do well to realise that Chrome is proprietary and contains a lot of code designed to spy on what you do online, correlate this with the rest of your Google account data and use it to make money. Iridium, on the other hand, takes the Chromium codebase and specifically removes privacy-invading parts. Unlike Chrome, Iridium is open source, so you can check the code yourself, if you wish. Some functionality is reduced (e.g. Flash) but in that case try Vivaldi.
