Is there any way to optimize that?

Yeah but like you said it's complicated (obiously more than the command I shared) and it's not AppImage anymore

Better install it with an scm if it's not to use AppImage. But do you have instructions to make work the tar?

Odd, since fusermount is contained in the fuse package.

Yeah, the browser packages look really complex. Good luck to you if you

If it helps I have the binary packaged in my channel, and have been maintaining
and using it since the early alphas on my guix system, as my primary browser for a
few months now.
Besides for streams not playing, it works flawlessly on my side (running on native wayland).
Feel free to have a look, use the channel or yoink the package definition :)
Just search in toys for it: https://toys.whereis.social/?search=zen-browser

I gave a go at it a while ago to try and package surfer (the tool to simplify
building ff forks), and the browser itself, but with little to no success, so I
gave up shortly after trying.

There should be a place where all that is advertised (outside Guix official channels to avoid conflict when that applies). I'm so clueless personally

Last time I messed with channels I've had to maintain a whole version control system **just** to figure out what wasn't working, took me, idk, months of maintenance time, weeks of mind time and maybe hours/day of actual time. Maybe you know a foolproof way or something?

IIRC when I wanted first to use it I tried Toys but found nothing, or maybe it was for another browser, but pretty sure it was for Zen

Yeah Guix do love that we do things the Guix way, and using a tool to prepare a binary to be used non-Guix way makes Guix no happy

I find toys to be more than enough to be honest, maybe it needs some more
advertising, but once you know about it, works wonders, it shows both guix and
outside of guix (user channels).

I mean twitch streams and youtube streams. Video calls work fine, twitch videos
(VODs) work fine, youtube videos work fine. Might be something I missed when
packaging but honestly I don't mind since I use mpv to watch everything anyways.

I didn't do anything special, I just open zen and it is already native wayland,
no tweaks, no flags, no nothing, just plain executing the `zen` command. My WM
also shows the window is native wayland, and I even use hardware accel from GPU
on native wayland with it just fine.
I do have couple env vars for wayland set: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Hyprland

I'm not sure, I've never had any problems with using channels. Outside of what
we already have in the manual for how to use channels, I just make sure the
package symbols I'm using on my config match the ones I want to use (sometimes
channels duplicate them, then using #:hide or #:select for modules help) and
that's about it. If anything, guix pull lets you roll back if something breaks.
