    It looks like Arc but built on Firefox’s engine? That’s sick. I’ll give it a look.

          Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I have no idea what they’re talking about.

            Arc. They are only continuing security updates and necessary maintenance. No more feature work, no more bug fixes.
