has anyone tried zen browser? it looks so good. I'm not used to open software looking good so I'm a bit skeptical, especially since no one's talking about it. but i started using it along with librewolf and I'm thinking of switching completely.

Because it's sort of new. Look at how the star count boomed in early September.

i appreciate the effort on that site that went into making sure the graph would look like an xkcd panel

Yes. Zen is really impressive given the small team and early stage.

It is another Firefox fork. If Firefox is in trouble, so is this project.

In the worst case scenario all these forks can work together and improve the engine (web and JS).

I'm running Zen Optimized as my daily driver and quite like it, closing tabs was irritating at first but I figured out the shortcut and its been smooth sailing ever since

Yes, and I loved it at first sight--it's the only version of Firefox that feels modern and delivers competitive performance in terms of resource efficiency. I'm backing the project via Patreon and really hope it develops into something even better... though I have to admit that I've mostly switched back to Vivaldi because of its greater customization ability and mobile browser (Zen is desktop only) as well as its built-in adblocker, which even works in iOS, unlike uBlock Origin.
