> Please exercise caution when using Zen Browser. It has notable privacy and security concerns, including a previous built in backdoor. Compared to other privacy focused browsers it’s less secure than standard Firefox due to issues such as allowing random social trackers to bypass ETP and permitting unsigned extensions by default. Despite its privacy focused branding these problems remain unresolved. Use Zen Browser at your own risk. For more details, see GitHub issue:
