I installed Vimium a few months ago and haven't looked back -> https://vimium.github.io/
Mouseless as well for navigating anywhere on the computer without a mouse -> https://mouseless.click/
Rolled my eyes on "For experts only: don't do it yet". Shut-up already. I will do it right now because it will nag me forever and then surface will grow, and every time the new code interacts whith what-could-ve-been-optimized I will spend 5min thinking if I should already optimize it
This is like the #1 cause of spaghetti, unmaintanable, deadlocked codebases - a single developer who knows every “best-practice” and optimization technique, and will not hesitate to apply it in every situation regardless of practicality or need, as a way to demonstrate their knowledge. It's the sign of an insecure developer - please stop.

How do you know this works?
Why should any given software be open-sourced? What is there to be gained by the company?

But how many of you wouldn’t hook up your website to Google?
Your computer doesn't have the right to scrape what I say or do anything with it.
I know one of the primary reasons that I do anything online is to provide an outlet for someone else to see it. If I didn’t want someone else to see it, I’d write it down on my notebook, not on the public web.
This article was written for Wired by Moxie Marlinspike in 2013, who went on to later develop the Signal protocol.
I don't want my thoughts or ideas spread across the web promiscuously. The things I say publicly are curated and full of context. That's why I have my own website, and don't post elsewhere.
I'm not playing the same game you are, which appears to be to post liberally and have loose thoughts to maximize "reach".

On this day 34 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee replies to a question regarding research on "Hypertext links enabling retrieval from multiple heterogeneous sources of information". He proposes a CERN project called the WorldWideWeb (WWW), and welcomes collaborators to the project.
Given that the human brain takes much longer to "train", I wonder how the energy efficiency pans out — comparing the two.
