how to upload my own zen mods

[FulgerePulse]

I'm thinking of adding my current userchrome.css codes to zen mods for other users to benefit from, how do I do this or is mod uploading turned off?

Hi @FulgerePulse! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

You can't upload Zen mods directly to a central marketplace from within the browser. Instead, you can export your mod (including your userchrome.css customizations) as a JSON file using the Zen Marketplace in Preferences, then share that file however you like (for example, via GitHub or forums). Other users can import your mod by using the "Import" button in the Zen Marketplace and selecting your JSON file. Mod uploading isn't "turned off"—it's just not a built-in feature; sharing is done by exporting and distributing the JSON file yourself. For best results, make sure your mod includes the necessary files (like chrome.css and preferences.json) and follows the structure of exported mods reference.

I'm sorry I don't know much about these things, but when I do this, will it appear on the zen mods page?

When you export and share your mod as a JSON file, it will only appear on your own Zen Mods page (inside your browser) and for anyone else who manually imports your file. There’s no feature to upload mods to a public or central Zen Mods page from within the browser—mods are managed locally, so your mod won’t be listed for everyone automatically. If you want others to use your mod, just share the JSON file and they can import it to see it on their own Zen Mods page. source

Instead of importing, I wondered if it was possible to upload it to the page https://zen-browser.app/mods/ or after doing this, will it be uploaded after reviewing it or something?

You can't upload your mod directly to the public Zen Mods page (https://zen-browser.app/mods/) from within the browser, and there isn't an in-app submission or review process for getting your mod listed there. The public Zen Mods page is curated and only shows mods that have been added by the maintainers—not mods that users export or import themselves. If you want your mod to appear on that page, you'll need to contact the Zen Browser team or website maintainers outside of the app, since there's no automated or documented submission workflow in the browser itself. For now, the best way to share your mod is to export it as a JSON file and distribute it through channels like GitHub or forums reference.
