The desktop entry needs a "%U" at the end of the exec line to open links outside the browser. This issue is related but seems to be resolved: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/161
For the icon to work in some cases it also needs "StartupWMClass=zen-alpha". It doesn't seem to use the file on GitHub from the same release. Once I installed the Flatpak it also uses it's patterned icon for the AUR package.
if anyone needs i made a updated pkgbuild to latest 1.0.0.a.18 if this package can be updated even better but here's a link to it: https://files.catbox.moe/efyncd.gz
The tag has been removed, once again. They made a release, when I pushed it since it run through my pkgctl check automatically, and also tested the version on my machine.
Why did you "release" a.16? It's not even out yet.

As of Beta build 1.0.2-b.4, zen no longer provides an avx2 optimized build. If you are using this package (zen-browser-bin), there is nothing you need to do, but if you are using zen-browser-avx2-bin, then it is recommended you install this package, and select yes when asked if you'd like to remove the conflicting avx2 package. A merge request has also been put in for the avx2 package.
