You don't have to replace the html web. If a new system was sufficiently fun to create with, people might use it for all kinds of cool new projects. Kind of like Flash used to be. You'd go there for a specific thing you heard about.
A new web free of cruft might turn out to be cheaper to develop for, and that might appeal to the corporate types. Maybe useful for intranet type apps where the browser is specified anyway and you have a captive audience.

Amarok? That was my favorite media player way back when

Works on android?

Zen's glance feature allows you to view links without actually opening them.
I do not like the wording of this because you are opening it

Weirdly enough, I like buying movies to encourage people to keep making the kinds of movies I enjoy watching. I have some physical media, but often times you can't find 4k versions of movies on physical media.

Chrome* or Chromium based browsers*

It's desktop-only right now and feels like for the foreseeable future. Firefox sync works between Zen and Firefox so you can just run Firefox or one of the Android-specific versions of Firefox that support the generic/vanilla firefox sync.

Does not elicit the image of iron.
Oh, it's libre.

Amarok is the other wolf. I know it looks deceptively similar.

Truly; it's shocking how much people are still clinging to permissive licensing in the middle of everything going on.

I feel like this sort of thing should be more modular. Maybe on Linux we could in theory have multiple packages that could have different implementations and the browser UI would just use the underlying packages with their specific extras on top.
That would also align well with the Unix philosophy of each component “doing one thing well” and composing small tools to achieve complex tasks.
But discussing this with an LLM, it pointed out that “Browser engines are among the most complex software systems in existence. Breaking them apart would require a deep understanding of their internals and a clear vision for how the pieces should interact” which is fair.

you can buy a normal physical version then pirate the 4K file

I was concerned, but it's not Wiki style.
It's just a fancy skin for modal windows. It pops open over 70% of the screen front and center.
Personally. I find tabs more useful, but haven't fully switched over from Firefox yet so I haven't looked into disabling it.

Except in this case, the full cure also exists already and you're trying to push the temporary treatment instead, for no good reason.
-
I imagine so, but the technical burden is at risk of growing over time as the upstream chromium may significantly deviate from or remove some of the functionality.
-
To be fair it's still alpha software, things are basically guaranteed to change until they reach a stable state. I've enjoyed it so far though

Probably a lot like Gemini web. No, not the AI bauble.
