I know that firedragon just recently rebased to Floorp, which in itself is a great project. But looking into Zen lately, I got to say, I find it more solid and professional, it got the same or more features, some of them more polished.
Its not a horse race, of course, but if I would bet in one of the two projects enduring and lasting, I would go with Zen, what you guys think ?
to people that dont know the project:
They even got a theme store.
Tbh its not as nice itās a super young project. Still in an early development stage. apart from that not everyone wants side tabs. some want the address bar on the bottom. Some just want it to look as its always looked. I like theming as much as the next person but this way of theming will never work long term or be as popular as the already firefox built in one.
Iām not trying to knock you down but there is much more to consider then whats it looks like on the surface.
I donāt make that choice for garuda in any way as Iām just a user but just looking at it, all i see is burnout long term unless the team expands.
and its just not stable

I dont see whats wrong with ā this way of themingā. Theming in firefox is extremely limited utilizing only simple means, yes you can do a lot if you know css and other shit, but not every user knows or have the patience to do that. This kind of āway of themingā is very similar to betterdiscord, simple and pratical, another great project.
And is not about the surface, even in alpha Zen already fixed the workspace problem that Floorp have.
About your stable point, its very disingenuous when one of them is still in alpha, and even so, still being in alpha, he already got double the number of likes of Floorp, double the number of forks, more people are using it, caring about the project, and of course they will find more bugs, which is good in the long term.
I would just like to say one thing, after some months you will find yet another browser with double the number of forks and even more peoples using it.
So, I donāt think, it is really worth again to rebase the things, it turn into rat race of chasing āthe best thingā which doesnāt even exists , and would might be overwhelming for devs 
Oh, im not saying to rebase firedragon, guess I came a little to fierce, sorry about that. Would be a lot of work for no reason at all, even more so considering that the rebase for the floorp occurred so recently.
The idea was more along the lines of keeping an eye in case floorp development stagnates or is abandoned in the long run, and if Zen becomes the default for this kind of use.
