If you can build in one thing, I'd pick something equivalent to Omnisearch. That makes it much easier to find things. I always struggle with the default search.

I would disagree edge is fine. It is untrustworthy as it will keep turning on features. Example - sync. If you aren't using sync, it will eventually turn it on. If you aren't syncing history it will turn that on at some point. At

Mozilla will lose 86 percent of its funding if the Google deal goes away. Unless they can somehow generate an equal amount there will be massive layoffs and Firefox will be in a death knell. So far they have not managed to wean themselves

I use the IOS "Due" app for this. I have it set-up to pull out items from Reminders that have days and times assigned. Makes it really hard to forget those tasks.

You can achieve a similar effect in Obsidian by using the plugins Outliner and Zoom. I still feel Logseq is still a better outliner (although I don't use it), Obsidian is better at handling the other use cases.

Brave’s usage curve is still going up and the MAU is approaching 70 million. Firefox has another 115 million monthly active users. By Chrome’s numbers either is barely used. https://bravebat.info/brave_browser_active_users

Tried Vivaldi multiple times. Does not stick. Some of the issues I saw are If you use multiple profiles at the same time there is no way to distinguish them on the task bar. I also couldn’t find a tab handling method I like. They also don’t

Edge is following chromes lead. Vivaldi and Brave are going to maintain the code so at least uBlock Origin can work. Nobody knows how this will play out as the forks won’t want to stray faraway from the chromium code as that would add a lot

Try installing the auto tab discard addon (It is a recommended addon so it gets checked by Firefox). I’ve noticed certain tabs may slow FF down if they aren’t unloaded in the background. I had FF slow to a crawl and when I checked it was us

Not an org-mode user. Would this be a set-up that creates an agenda that works (by using 2 extensions)? https://medium.com/geekculture/how-i-track-my-tasks-in-obsid... Dataview is such a great extension.
