Starting a bit of a tangent here I admit, but this makes me much more worried about the future of mobile browsing.

Sure, soon enough a decent non-chromium based desktop browser will come along, be it Zen or something else, but what about the mobile world?

Right now firefox is perfect for me: It makes the web browsable by allowing ublock origin, it syncs my tabs, history and bookmarks, it's great.

Moving to a scenario that we have a different browser on the desktop and a different one on the phone or, worse, the same on the phone but without adblocking sounds like a huge regression.

P.S. Regarding Zen: If you want to be taken seriously, or at least as something more than a toy project, teaching your maintainers how to talk to your (potential) users will go a long way. Telling them off will not gain you any friends. (I'm referring to the github discussion mentioned in a sibling comment: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/discussions/5907)
