I am using virtual desktops with the Zen web browser and every time I open up a tab on one virtual desktop it appears in the other as an unloaded tab. Is there any way to change this behavior? I want the tabs I have open in one virtual desktop to only be on that virtual desktop’s instance of Zen.
I don’t have this issue with Brave, so it may be down to Zen’s specific handling of tabs, better to reach out to them or their community directly.
I won’t be able to assist you a lot since I don’t personally use Zen.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up finding a workaround using “spaces” in Zen by giving each virtual desktop its own “space”. It is somewhat annoying but it does work. I think it may have to do with a setting I have turned on where it saves my tabs from when I last closed my browser. Do you have a similar setting enabled for Brave?
No, I haven’t changed any settings relating to Tabs or Virtual Desktop on Brave or KDE.
You can use “Open new blank window” (Ctrl-Shift-N) for that.
Thank you and that does seem to work. I have actually found that I like using spaces quite a bit and will continue to use them because they keep my “essential” tabs the same across desktops.
