I'm a bit of a Linux newbie and I want to install Zen Browser using the tar.xz file. The reason is that I need to use Sine, which is a mod/theme manager for Firefox-based browsers, and it only works with that type of installation. Can someone guide me through the process?

To find the download, just check out this link: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases/tag/1.15.5b. If you already have the tar.xz file but aren't sure how to install it, simply extract it and follow the running instructions I mentioned earlier! That should get you set up!
You can grab the Zen Browser tar.xz file from their GitHub releases page. Download the right version for your system—likely 'zen.linux-x86_64.tar.xz'. After downloading, extract it to a directory, ideally /opt. You can run the browser by double-clicking the 'zen' file, or launching it from a command line with './opt/zen', or even set it up in your PATH for easier access! Just a heads up, though: using less mainstream browsers can be a bit buggy and may carry security risks, so be cautious!
Thanks! I think I just needed clarity on extracting and running it. Appreciate it!
