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

Installation

For any installation method, use nixpkgs-unstable to ensure compatibility with the latest Firefox version.

System setup (Flakes)

Add the zen flake to your flake.nix

{
  ...
  inputs = {
    ...
    zen-browser = {
      url = "github:0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  }
}

Add zen to your environment.systemPackages

{
  inputs,
  ...
}: {
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.zen-browser.packages."${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}".default # default, beta, twilight, or twilight-official
  ];
}

Default and beta both install the beta version of zen.

Home Manager (Flakes)

First add the zen flake to your flake.nix

{
  ...
  inputs = {
    ...
    zen-browser = {
      url = "github:0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
      home-manager.follows = "home-manager";
    };
  }
}

Add zen to your Home Manager configuration:

{
  imports = [
    inputs.zen-browser.homeModules.beta # beta, twilight, or twilight-official
  ];

  programs.zen-browser = {
    enable = true;
    setAsDefaultBrowser = true;
  };
}

Please see the flake repository's Home Manager Reference Section or the Configuration Examples Section for more information on how to declaratively configure Zen with Home Manager.
