As someone who creates technical solutions for a living I still think there’s a lot of truth here. Life isn’t an either/or choice, but rather yes/and. Use the tech to enhance and augment your life, not to replace it.

Browser Switch

Leave a comment

In the continued march towards divesting usage of the tech oligarchs toys, today let’s focus on the tool used most often… the simple browser.

Just a few years ago there weren’t many players (besides the oligarchs: Chrome, Edge, Safari, and to a lesser extent Firefox) in the browser game, but recently there’s been a proliferation including: Vivaldi, Duck, Brave, and more.

After trying a few out, I’ve come around Vivaldi. To be fair, I tried it out a few years ago and it wasn’t cutting it, but recent updates seem to be really solid. So much so that it’s become my default browser.

Just a few of the things I like about it include:

  • E2EE sync
  • Notes
  • RSS reader
  • Customizable

There are a number of other features built in as well that I haven’t found much need for, but includes:

  • Email client
  • Web calendars
  • Workspaces
  • Reading list

…and more.

Whatever your choice, I’d encourage you to try out a new browser, and feel better about yourself for supporting the little guys.
