Zen is a firefox based browser that promises a calmer internet, and features a sideways based tab system.

Installation

Shell (Flakes)

nix shell github:youwen5/zen-browser-flake

The command above makes zen available in your current shell.

System setup (Flakes)

First add the zen flake to your flake.nix

{
  ...
  inputs = {
    ...
    zen-browser = {
      url = "github:youwen5/zen-browser-flake";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  }
}

Then add zen to your environment.systemPackages

{
  inputs,
  ...
}: {
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.zen-browser.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.default
  ];
}

After rebuilding, Zen will be installed system-wide.
