The internet is a home, and the browser is its front door. Some people stick to the same habits for years, while others switch browsers constantly. Let’s take a quick look at the key players.

Chrome (Google)

The de facto standard.

Fast, with a massive library of extensions. Perfect for those living in the Google ecosystem (Gmail, Drive, Maps). The main downside? It’s a notorious RAM hog and is known for data collection.

Edge (Microsoft)

An unexpected upgrade.

Runs on the same engine as Chrome but consumes less memory. Features built-in ChatGPT integration and a great reading mode. Excellent for work and study. Synchronization with Windows 11 is seamless.

Opera / Opera GX

For aesthetes and gamers.

Built-in VPN, sidebar messengers, and system volume control (a unique GX feature). If you love unconventional designs and widget-packed interfaces, this is the choice for you.

Brave

The privacy champion.

Built-in ad blocker and tracker protection right out of the box. No, really—YouTube ads actually don't load. The downside? Its internal cryptocurrency system, which many find annoying.

Mozilla Firefox

Old-school and freedom.

The only major browser running on its own engine (not Chromium). The most secure in terms of privacy (no selling user data). Ideal for geeks and anyone who doesn't want to hand the internet over to Google. It might be slightly slower on heavy websites, but it’s honest.

So, which browser do you have on your home screen? And why did you choose it?

Look, is Al making our lives better? No. But is it making things less expensive? Unfortunately, the opposite. Now, is it making the internet a better place? More slop than ever, actually! But does it allow us to spend more time being creative? That's actually the thing it's best at stealing without shame. Though, surely it's making us smarter, right? You'll never guess, but...

The apps now days weigh as much as a Boeing wing. Absolutely any of them.

I’ll become a customer of the bank that makes the app no more than 20 MB in size. And a taxi service too..

Why do I need all those anime‑style pictures and videos when I just need the bare functionality?

There was this guy on 𝕏 who sent me flowers every week for a while.

About a month ago, we met in person for the first time and went to dinner. Then he asked me out again. I thanked him and honestly told him that I didn't think we were a good fit for each other in the long run and that we shouldn't continue.

Since then he has never sent me flowers.

It's always helpful to get a chance to see a person's true character when they stop thinking they can get what they want from you.

After all, someone who truly cares about your happiness would continue to send flowers.

«The world used to be run by smart people. It was cruel. The smart people forced the dumb people to study. It was hard for the dumb people. Now the world is run by dumb people. It's fair, because there are far more dumb people. Now the smart people learn to speak in a way that dumb people can understand. If a dumb person doesn't understand something, it's the smart people's problem.»

Before, it was the stupid who suffered. Now it's the smart who suffer. There's less suffering because there are fewer and fewer smart people."
