I just downloaded the tarball for the Zen browser and extracted it, running the executable without any issues. However, I want Zen to appear in the application search like other installed apps, and I also want to add it to my dock. Right now, I have to launch it from its directory each time. Is there a way to accomplish this on Ubuntu?

Creating a `.desktop` file for the Zen browser is definitely the way to go. It will appear in search results, and you can also add it to your dock. If you need help with that file, there are tons of resources available.
You should really consider getting the Flatpak version of Zen browser instead. It's much easier to manage and integrates nicely with the system, making it show up in the apps list automatically.
If you prefer using the tarball, you can create a `.desktop` launcher for Zen browser. Just make sure to copy that file into your `~/.local/share/applications` directory. You can use tools like Menulibre to help you create the launcher easily. But remember, using the Flatpak version is generally better.
I think the Flatpak version might resolve your issue if the tarball isn't working as expected. Give it a shot; it's supposed to be more straightforward!
