# Zen Browser for Nix
This is a flake for the Zen browser. Originally forked from the unmaintained
MarceColl/zen-browser-flake,
but heavily modified. GitHub Actions is configured to automatically check for updates daily.
The primary difference between this flake and most of the other forks
available is it has more correct packaging that closely mirrors how Firefox is packaged in nixpkgs,
using `wrapFirefox`. For instance Zen's desktop file is extracted directly from the binary
instead of being provided manually.
The annoying update checks have been disabled by default through a Firefox policy. The browser cannot
update itself when installed with Nix anyways, so these are entirely useless.
Similar to the `firefox` package in `nixpkgs`, you can set additional policies
by using `override` on the `extraPolicies` property. See the
derivation for more technical details.
To use, add it to the relevant NixOS configuration flake inputs:

## Packages
This flake provides the `zen-browser` package, which is also its default
package, for both `x86_64-linux` and `aarch64-linux` systems.
Additionally, `zen-browser-unwrapped` is provided (similar to
`firefox-bin-unwrapped`). A tree of the provided packages is displayed below
for your convenience.

## Installation
The easiest way is to use the CLI imperatively:
`nix profile install github:youwen5/zen-browser-flake`
If you're on NixOS and/or home-manager, you should install it in your system or
home configuration.
For example, in `configuration.nix`, add something similar to:

If you don't want to use flakes, you can add it like:

A binary called `zen` is provided as well as a desktop file that should show up
in app launchers.
## FAQ
> How to run the update script locally?
There's a workflow configured that runs every day at 8PM Pacific Time to
automatically check for any new releases from `zen-browser/desktop` and update
the flake. If you want to run the script manually, just enter the repo's
directory and run
 [code] 
> Is there a Cachix (binary cache)?
Since we're not building from source and just wrapping upstream binaries we
don't really need a binary cache as the patching process should take just a
few seconds.
If you're experiencing abnormally long build times you probably aren't
overriding the `nixpkgs` input and it's duplicating a lot of system libraries.
Just set `inputs.zen-browser.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"` or something
similar.
## Caveats
As with all GPU accelerated programs, Zen may not be able to use GPU
acceleration if not installed on NixOS (and if you didn't override its nixpkgs
input to your system nixpkgs, if using NixOS).
This can be solved with
nix-community/nixGL.
## 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` to the file `/etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers`.
