Use Zen Browser if you still want Firefox based browsing with the better ergonomics; No AI, tracking or telemetry included.

How is this different to Firefox? Vertical tabs, containers (workspaces), tab previews (glance).
Looks interesting but I can’t figure out what makes this different to what I can already do in Firefox.

It is different in that it breaks every few releases. Otherwise Firefox is sufficient if vertical tabs is the aim. I used zen for over a year before I just got tired of the constant breaking.
Zen devs were incredibly bad about messing with my workflows that I had setup for Zen. So much so that I eventually just stopped updating the app and moved back to Firefox to let them get their goals together.
I use Zen for small things like research and whatnot, but Firefox will always be the only browser I use for serious stuff like banking and bills.
Zen is better these days, but the fact I can’t get rid of the spaces crap really irks me. I don’t need it, and don’t want it, but it is a “core part” of their ethos so I am stuck with it. I just renamed it to … and stopped worrying about it as much. Still recommend giving it a shot for smaller stuff, but definitely not banking and the like.
