Except Chrome, other Chromium browsers have effective filters/blockers for ads and annoyances. I find Brave's GUI to be very intuitive and fast, and one can disable its crypto features and other nonsense.
But in past year, I've noticed Brave is broken on popular sites like Reddit, so I have recently switched ditches it and switched over to Vivaldi.
Vivaldi is fast and nice, with a clean interface, though it is slower in its Windows variant as it has lots of features compared to other Chromium browsers.
I have Firefox as secondary browser, I especially like its extensions support: uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are great at adblocking and annoyances filtering. But Firefox is a bit cumbersome in its UI, and I felt it is slower especially in its Windows variant
Firefox had some memory leakage problem, so I had avoided it for years, but it's become better in its latest versions, I don't seem to encounter the memory leakage issue anymore.
I steer clear of Chrome (disabled it on all my phones and tablets) due to Google's penchant for ads-based revenue, though its corporate avatar as Microsoft Edge is quite efficient and effective as a daily workhorse.
They said the links provided by their parent were better than 'this' page, which presumably refers to the submission, not (some undisclosed alternate ad-ridden frontend to) HN.
because your phone is full of distractions, and while the AI pin is also eventually going to full of distractions, who hasn't gone to their phone to do one thing, and then gotten distracted, say by an important text, and then didn't do the thing.
> Transformers and turbines of any significance are not off the shelf parts and can have lead times of years
Bloomberg had a decent article[0] about transformers and their lead time. They're currently a bottleneck on building. It wasn't paywalled for me.
"The Covid-19 pandemic strained many supply chains, and most have recovered by now. The supply chain for transformers started experiencing troubles earlier — and it’s only worsened since. Instead of taking a few months to a year, the lead time for large transformer delivery is now three to five years. " [0]
"Artists, writers, and creators of all kinds are banding together with a simple message: Stealing our work is not innovation. It's not progress. It's theft - plain and simple."
I agree. I wonder: have the / will the courts agree(d)?
