Spybot & BrowsAlyzer to Support Zen Browser: More Freedom, More Choice

March 28, 2025 - 8:43 am

We’re happy to share that with our next releases, both Spybot – Search & Destroy and BrowsAlyzer will officially support the Zen Browser, a Firefox-based alternative that’s gaining traction among users looking for more control over their online experience.

At Spybot, we believe your browser should be your choice—and that your privacy and safety shouldn’t be compromised no matter which one you use. That’s why we’ve always worked to support a wide variety of browsers, from the most popular to the more privacy-conscious and independent. With Zen Browser joining our list of supported browsers, we’re taking that commitment a step further.

Why Zen Browser?

Zen Browser is built on the same open-source foundation as Firefox, but it comes from a different developer—one not affiliated with Mozilla. This has become especially important to some users in light of recent conversations around Mozilla’s updated Terms of Service, which have raised concerns about data handling and user trust.

By adding Zen Browser support, we’re making sure that people exploring alternatives still have access to the same tools that help them stay safe and informed online. Whether you’re scanning for threats with Spybot or analyzing browser behavior with BrowsAlyzer, you’ll now be able to use these tools seamlessly with Zen Browser.

What This Means for You

  • More flexibility: Use the browser that feels right to you, without sacrificing protection.
  • Stronger privacy alignment: If you’re moving toward Firefox-based alternatives for greater transparency or independence, Spybot and BrowsAlyzer will be right there with you.
  • Same trusted features: All the functionality you rely on will work just as smoothly with Zen Browser as it does with mainstream options.

We know the browser landscape is always evolving—and so are the needs of our community. Supporting Zen Browser is part of our ongoing mission to adapt, respond, and keep you empowered in your choices.

This update will roll out with the next versions of Spybot and BrowsAlyzer.

Thanks for being part of a community that values freedom, transparency, and safety online. We’re excited to keep growing with you.

Stay safe,
Team Spybot
