0:48
sidebar send sidebar feature allows you
0:51
to view all your tabs in one place and
0:53
they have some sponsors here like Tuda I
0:56
don't know what that is and custom is a
0:58
customizable browser so let's go ahead
1:01
and download the web browser now let's
1:03
go ahead and download they have Windows
1:05
Linux and Mac OS we are on windows so
1:07
we're going to go ahead and download the
1:08
windows installer we're going to ahead
1:10
and download myself onto our computer
1:12
now go ahead and click on download
1:14
installer I'll open up a new tab and
1:15
download new file let's go ahead and
1:18
save myself here let's go ahead and
1:20
install myself we are now currently
1:22
extracted myself onto the computer here
1:24
let's click on yes click on next click
1:26
on standard we already have it installed
1:29
let's go ahead and install Zen onto our
1:31
PC let's launch Zen now now as you can
1:33
see this is what the web browser usually
1:35
works like so let's go ahead and go into
1:37
the settings and you change the look and
1:39
feel of the browser we can have a single
1:40
toolbar a multiple toolbars or we can
1:42
collapse our toolbar like this which I
1:44
like this one much more and we can also
1:46
change the look and feel of the browser
1:49
and change the color of the browser and
1:51
you can also have extensions and themes
1:53
I currently have ublock version
1:54
installed and we can also change the
1:56
themes of the web browser which is
1:58
pretty good so let's go ahead and open
2:00
up a new tab and go to start page my
2:03
preferred web browser to use because
2:05
Google is annoying so let's go ahead and
2:07
type in we'll just see the Zen glance
2:10
feature which is alt and click which
2:12
allows us to view the web page without
2:14
actually opening it which is pretty neat
2:16
we can even click on and do stuff inside
2:19
of the unopened link here which is weird
2:24
so
2:26
yeah so let's go ahead and exit that now
2:29
as you can see this is a Firefox focused
2:32
web browser based on the Firefox web
2:34
browser so you'll notice a lot of things
2:36
left over from Firefox are still here we
2:38
have Firefox Labs which is part of
2:41
Firefox we have privacy and security
2:43
which is based off the Firefox security
2:45
basically it's basically the same thing
2:47
we have the search we can change to
2:49
search and default search we can have
2:53
search
2:54
suggestions we can do browsing bookmark
2:57
clipboard open tab shortcut search
2:59
engine suggestions from Zen and we don't
3:01
want that and we can also import our
3:03
stuff from Firefox I guess or no let's
3:06
improve the Firefox never mind we have
3:08
private security we has the same which
3:09
is part of Firefox and we have all this
3:12
keyboard shortcuts like the toggle FL in
3:14
bar backward workspace forward Works
3:16
page Control Alt e it doesn't do
3:22
anything alt control
3:24
e contrl alt e doesn't do anything
3:27
Control Alt U new window new tab
3:30
post tab I have all the keybinds here
3:35
for you to look at if you get
3:39
confused so let's go ahead and do some
3:41
tests here okay this is what I I I
3:43
didn't let's just see and do a test so
3:47
we'll see how it handles all this and
3:49
this is currently my sup GPU oh she's
3:51
slowing down I think there's 20 test you
3:53
might not do all of them but when I
3:55
played Cool Math Games it lagged pretty
3:57
bad so I don't know let's leave it to
3:59
this
4:01
let's just see it seems to be doing
4:02
pretty good right now I don't know why
4:04
it was lagging so bad before I'm sorry
4:05
guys this is really loud holy that
4:07
is really loud I'm sorry do I have it
4:09
muted on here yeah okay I do but it
4:10
might pick up on my on my microphone
4:13
that was so loud sorry my voice sounds
4:15
really messed up I've been like really
4:17
sick so yeah my voice sounds like I'm
4:18
like cracking my voice is cracking up or
4:20
I sound higher pitched than usual I'm
4:23
sick cuz it's kind of hard to talk for
4:24
this one so yeah this is the Zen browser
4:27
a Sav way to brows line without personal
4:29
they like tracking or targeting what is
4:31
this oh this is part of start page never
4:34
mind I forgot yeah cuz this web browser
4:37
is currently in beta right now so we can
4:40
have Discord is already here
4:42
unfortunately it's already on the
4:43
sidebar here sadly we can have instant
4:46
access to Discord in a web browser
4:49
unfortunately yeah Discord we have
4:51
elements I think this is like Discord
4:53
and WhatsApp is some sort of app I don't
4:56
not sure I don't use WhatsApp so I don't
4:58
I know it's a messaging app but I don't
5:00
use it oh yeah and the Zen browser is it
5:01
still going I don't know what those
5:02
numbers mean to be honest but yeah this
5:04
is the Zen browser this is the split
5:06
view feature where you can view two
5:07
pages at once this is really nice so you
5:09
need double the double the test so I can
5:11
go in here let's see this is really good
5:13
so I can for example go on the Google
5:16
while I'm watching youtube.com that's
5:18
really good for example I go to
5:20
RuneScape play RuneScape and watch
5:22
YouTube while playing RuneScape at the
5:24
same time think about it think about
5:26
that so yeah this is the Zen browser
5:27
this is my view of the web browser and I
5:30
rate a like seven out of seven of of
5:33
seven out of Z there we go cuz it does
5:35
have some issues and there is some lag I
5:37
noticed I'm using it sometimes it'll lag
5:39
pretty bad but overall it's a pretty
5:40
good web browser and it's based off of
5:42
Firefox so you really can't go wrong
5:44
with Firefox as of right now so yeah I
5:46
