Zen Browser

Originally from MarceColl/zen-browser-flake deleted and re-made repo for discoverability as "GitHub does not like to show forks in the search".

This is a flake for the Zen browser.

Features

• Linux support
• Available for x86_64 and aarch64
• Both twilight and beta versions are available
• Automatic updated Flake via GitHub Actions
• Integrated browser update checks are disabled
• The default twilight version is reliable and reproducible

Installation

Caution

The twilight package is not the official from zen-browser/desktop. As you can check in their releases page, there is only one Twilight version of the browser, that's because there's only one tag available for that browser version, it means that every release replace the other, deleting the artifacts that we referenced once and normally this happens everyday so the package we aim to create won't achieve the goal to be really reproducible, for that reason we created a workaround to create releases and copy the artifacts from their repository in order to keep alive indefinitely. If you don't trust about this method we're using or that the artifacts won't be infected will malware by the repository owner or something else(I don't know, anything!), you can use the twilight-official package or simply keep yourself with beta.

Just add it to your NixOS flake.nix or home-manager:

inputs = {
  zen-browser.url = "github:0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake";
  ...
}

Integration

To integrate Zen Browser to your NixOS/Home Manager configuration, add the following to your environment.systemPackages or home.packages respectively:

# Only 'x86_64-linux' and 'aarch64-linux' are supported
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".default # beta
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".beta
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".twilight # artifacts are downloaded from this repository to guarantee reproducibility
inputs.zen-browser.packages."${system}".twilight-official # artifacts are downloaded from the official Zen repository

Afterwards you can just build your configuration and start the Zen Browser

$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch # or home-manager switch
$ zen

1Password

Zen has to be manually added to the list of browsers that 1Password will communicate with. See this wiki article for more information. To enable 1Password integration, you need to add the line .zen-wrapped to the file /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers.
