I've noticed that this package, unlike zen-browser, firefox and other Firefox forks packages in AUR, installs its files in /opt, not /usr/lib. Is there any reason for that?
I'm planning to include Zen in my vencord package and I prefer not to have a separate package for the normal and -bin packages simply because they install in different directories.
Also, I think the install directory shouldn't include the -bin suffix.
I noticed that Zen Browser has released version 1.9b, and I’d like to suggest updating the PKGBUILD to reflect this version. Here are the changes I’ve made:
pkgver=1.9b
#Updated sha256sums
sha256sums_x86_64=('418fafadf7951765609ddeac208f064378cf2e8fd9c5c7c2ab5d3f829558499b')
sha256sums_aarch64=('adabe34e491d9bd4ffb5fd63a071b4e1f3b964d5e81917cd7061feb9ec2dd3d5')
I’ve verified the checksums and everything seems to be correct. Thanks!
Thank you, your words are greatly appreciated <3
Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the maintainers for their dedication. Keeping up with such frequent updates like this takes time and effort—thank you!
for those who can't wait, you can always clone the pkgbuild, modify pkgver and sha256sums, then makepkg -si. for pkgver=1.8.2b, sha256sums would be
sha256sums_x86_64=(b4bec09c67eb4b0d86f4ca1b2b4a065f9217bbf0836f0ef82462ae285ad80b47)
sha256sums_aarch64=(026981bbe03c97ebd39e3458b197346686f362a5e6cf0cde0629205fde7b3d1d)
please update to the latest version 1.8.2b (2025-02-25) thanks
Here is 1.8.1b: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases/tag/1.8.1b
@evthestrike, thank you for the comment but that version was already packaged. I did notice 1.7.6b is out, pushing that update now.

Unable to update if the GitHub doesn't have the release. Please check the releases page on GitHub instead of the change log on the zen website before flagging the package. Thank you
