I've both Zen Browser and Zen Twilight installed, is it safe to just "Move to Trash" or "Uninstall" one of them?

Hi,

I've mentioned the issue in above title.
But, as you can see here, the label are Zen Browser, while, the current build that I use is Zen Twilight (icon showed in my dock also Twilight).

I plan to remove (by your suggest, "Move to Trash" or "Uninstall") Zen Browser, also, I would like to know if there's any procedure that I can cleaned up my system from identifying Zen Browser after post-remove?

Because, when I tried to open .PDF file through browser, it identify both Zen Browser and Zen Twilight in the options.

Previously, before I close my Zen Twilight (it opened the .PDF file in my Default Workspace *I re-named it to Personal, second is Creative, third is Work. All three I've connect it with each containers with the same name), when I tried to open same file in Zen Browser, it shown notification like.. the point is I already opened it in Zen Twilight, you can't opened it again in Zen Browser, I forgot what was the note.

But now, when I re-opened Zen Twilight, I open again the that .PDF file, first try in Zen Twilight, second try in Zen Browser but no more notification or warn.

That way, maybe this can be a note for the dev team *I hope 🙂

1. Issue about registered apps name in directory, Zen Browser or Zen Twilight
2. Related issue above mentioned about opening .PDF file in Zen ecosystem (?), Browser or Twilight
3. I've an issue where I always have to go for Triple Dots > History > Restore previous sessions > End up go to my last Workspace, Work, instead of my first Workspace, Personal (as in below attachment).

That's it.
Thanks for taking your time to read on my issue.
Best regards 🫡

You can safely uninstall zen browser if you are using zen twilight as your primary browser

before uninstalling:

• Export any bookmarks, passwords, or other important data you want to keep
• Sign out of any accounts you're logged into on zen browser
• Close all running instances of zen browser

uninstall zen browser

manually remove leftover files

After uninstalling, some residual files might remain in your system. To clean them up:

Navigate to the following directories:
~/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Caches/
~/Library/Saved Application State/
~/Library/Preferences/

Look for files and folders associated with zen browser, such as:

• zen-browser or similar
• app.zen-browser.zen.savedState
• app.zen-browser.zen.plist

Delete these files and folders.

for the duplicate app identification when opening pdf files:

• Right-click on any .pdf file, choose Get Info, and look for the Open With section.
• Select zen twilight from the dropdown menu and click Change All to set it as the default handler for pdf files.
• This will ensure that zen twilight is always used to open PDFs instead of zen browser.

If zen browser was syncing or handling specific workspaces or sessions:

• Open zen twilight and clear or adjust the workspace settings to avoid conflicts.
• Make sure zen twilight is set up as your primary browser.

hope this help

I've done following steps you mentioned above.
Now gonna try installing Zen Twilight first 😄
Will let you know how after.

Anyway, I didn't keep my previous Twilight installation file.

• https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases/tag/twilight
• https://zen-browser.app/download/?twilight

Both are the same or better to go with from GitHub?

Also, through Zen Twilight, also has auto-update from Settings, do you update yours from Setting or back to GitHub URL to download the update and patched it?

[ssakkout]

• The Github version: is ideal for developers and advanced users.

• Zen Twilight Download Page: is user-friendly platform without technical details that automatically detects your operating system and guides you to the best version,

It's up to you to choose which is more suitable.

For the update part, applying auto update is more user friendly and the github latest version may be unstable, so enabling auto update will be beneficial,

Okay, all works!

Thanks 😄
