The Zen browser might be overlooked as a ripoff an actually sensible and privacy-friendly version of Arc, and possibly a best reincarnation of the dying Firefox for the power users.

So now I do approve. But with some notes, of course. This infamous Arc-style layout is not for everyone who *might* have to work with split windows (not split tabs). Or maybe, it's just me who think a 5-column "Essentials" (the Zen equivalent of Arc's "Pinned" tabs) layout is good.

With that being politically neutral than Mozilla, I might just want to keep Zen Browser and Vivaldi altogether. I might resort to the "Collapsed Toolbar", though.
