How good are Helium and Zen Browser? (sh.itjust.works)

There was an issue with Zen about a year ago, it used to send Mozilla telemetry requests, and the developers had ignored any complaints on it. Anyone knows if the situation has changed since?

I found nothing on how private Helium is. People usually just say it is garbage because of the engine, but that's not what I care about.

Used zen when it barely has a site, loved it, then they made changes and it sucked.

Helium is pretty no nonsense, wish they had containers

    What were the changes that drove you away? I've been using Zen from the start and I can't think of that many changes that you wouldn't just be able to ignore/disable.

    I had it well configured with specific community plugins, I reinstalled and the plugins were gone from the store, i had to pull out my old firefox scripts, the address bar was transparent because the rendering was changed or something

    Dropped it for floorp, been smooth sailing since, doesnt try to be the arc browser
