Also - this would reduce the downloaded binary size - thus saving bandwidth for the users (especially those on metered connections) In fact, if I remember correctly, this used to be the case a few weeks or a couple of months ago. Not sure why this was changed to package into a universal binary and only allow that to be downloaded for macs. If one looks at the GH actions workflows, the hardware-specific builds are still present, but the artifact being generated is overwritten/deleted at a later stage in the workflow to create the universal binary. Could this change be reverted back please? |

I’m writing to request a macOS ARM64-only build of Zen Browser (not a universal binary). While the current universal version supports both x86_64 and ARM64, it includes unnecessary architecture code for Apple Silicon users, which increases the app size and memory usage.
A dedicated ARM64-only build would help reduce RAM overhead, improve performance, and minimize disk usage — especially important on Apple Silicon Macs where optimal native performance is expected.
Thank you for your continued development of Zen Browser. I appreciate your consideration of this request.
