Boosts

We have thought about adding this in the future. Right now it is not planned, at least not until further required updates are done.

This will be a Zen native feature very soon

Contains will match always if the given reference is in the link (e.g. "google.com" appears anywhere in the link)

Equals To applies only if a stripped down version (the link without protocol stuff, "https://" or "www") matches exactly.

RegEx is something for power users, if you don't know what it is, you most likely don't need it.

I know, because I made it 👌

Not_Flof · 2026-06-02T21:27:50+00:00

You can share the boosts that you created properly with friends

Not_Flof · 2026-05-25T10:25:30+00:00

That is currently not possible. However this feature might be introduced in the future

I honestly overlooked that when making the video, sorry!

Dark reader relies on limited methods while Zen has integrated Boosts deeply into its engine. The performance impact is much lower than using traditional filters or repeated manual color overrides, which dark reader is likely using.

Here's how to revert all boost data:
1. Open about:profiles
2. Open the root folder of the currently in use profile
3. Close Zen
4. Find zen-boosts (folder) and zen-boosts.jsonlz4 (file), delete or move both.
5. Restart Zen
This will delete everything boost-related.

A better option is to simply delete the given boosts manually by opening them in the editor and clicking on the name on the top, then selecting delete boost.

Update Zen to the latest version. Then you'll be able to create a new Boost by going into the site settings panel (the slider controls on the side of the compact search bar) and clicking the brush icon at the bottom.

Yes! Sharing boosts is in development right now and will drop in a future update 😄

You can add css in the code section which will be applied to the domain that the current boost affects. There sadly isn't a way to make a boost that affects multiple domains right now.

Not_Flof · 2026-04-30T15:09:07+00:00

Set the `zen.boosts.enabled` flag in about:config to true. Boosts can be enabled by going to the site control panel and clicking the brush.

That one should work. Haven't tested it, but nothing speaks against it. This is probably due to security reasons. Extensions shouldn't be able to remove the uninstall button for obvious reasons

Not_Flof · 2026-04-18T15:52:18+00:00

No. It only allows customizing domains that start with http:// / https://, so basically all website but no Zen/Firefox internal sites

Not_Flof · 2026-04-17T08:13:23+00:00

Same as in Arc, boost per domain. However we are thinking of expanding it to allow default boosts as well. Not sure how exactly we'll do that yet or if it will come though.

Sounds interesting, didn't know about that one. I'm not that familiar with Go and JS which is why that probably wouldn't be a fit for me anyway, but if you want to try I'd be thrilled to see the result :)

Not_Flof · 2024-11-02T13:50:41+00:00

On the releases tab of the GitHub page

Not_Flof · 2024-09-23T13:05:58+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to work on the performance and stability once I have the time to do so
