Zen 0.28.0

What's new in 0.28.0

What's New
- Translated block and error pages
Before, the block page and the error pages Zen shows when a site fails to load were always in English. They now use the language you chose in the app.
- Exception rule fixes
Filter lists often allow something on just one site, with a rule like @@||moatads.com^$script,domain=nascar.com. Zen ignored most of these rules unless a block rule had exactly the same modifiers, which was incorrect behaviour. Zen now applies them the same way uBlock Origin and AdGuard do.
- Lower memory use
Zen now uses about 60 MB less memory with the default filter lists.
- Security update
Zen is now built with Go 1.27.3, which rejects certificates issued through compromised intermediate CAs (CVE-2026-111943). Your system's certificate store should already reject them, but this adds a second check.
- Other minor bugfixes and improvements.
Thank you for using Zen!
