<summary>How can I use horizontal tabs?</summary>

## How can I use horizontal tabs?
Zen Browser will not support horizontal tabs in the near future. The decision to focus on **Vertical Tabs** is a core design choice, with the entire Zen Browser experience built around this concept. This approach is intended to maximize screen space and improve navigation, making vertical tabs an essential part of Zen's philosophy.

<summary>Will there be a mobile version for Zen Browser?</summary>

## Will there be mobile version for Zen Browser?
At the moment, our team does not have the time or resources to develop Android or iOS versions of Zen Browser. Additionally, we believe that Zen’s unique features, particularly its design around vertical tabs, do not translate well to the mobile form factor. As such, we do not currently have plans to develop a mobile version of Zen Browser.

<summary>Why can't Zen Browser play DRM-protected content?</summary>

## Why can't Zen Browser play DRM-protected content?
> [!important] This only affects Microsoft Windows and MacOS
> [!question]- What is DRM?
> [!question]- What is DRM?
> [Digital Rights Management](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management) (DRM) is a technology used to control how digital content, such as videos and music, can be accessed and used. DRM is commonly used by streaming services to protect copyrighted content. When you try to play DRM-protected content, the website verifies if the necessary DRM software is available on your browser. Most browsers use [**Widevine**](https://www.widevine.com), a DRM technology developed by Google, to facilitate this.
Zen Browser currently lacks DRM support because it does not have a Widevine license. Acquiring such a license requires the payment of large fees (at least $5,000), which is financially unfeasible for the developer of Zen. This means that DRM-protected media cannot be played in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. If support grows and the developer receives sufficient funding, a Widevine license may be considered.

## How do I know Zen is safe?

Zen Browser is designed with a focus on security and privacy. Additionally, the browser's codebase is derived from Firefox, a well-known and trusted open-source project. Users can verify the safety of the browser by reviewing the source code available on [GitHub](https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop). Regular updates and community engagement also contribute to its security.

## Where do I recommend features?
