Great Idea! I keep forgetting to. I don’t really mind being spied on by the Chinese since they already have their finger in many other pies I like to eat…and upon writing this I realized how foolish I am!

Wouldn’t you need to trust shady certs to do this? I’m surprised they could even MITM in this day and age unless they just damn included sus certs in your cacerts.

Opera cons notwithstanding, Opera One is really nice as a browser.

Firefox itself has some UI quirks that can cause a bit of friction.

Chrome always feels like it just works, but I rely on Google’s ecosystem frequently.

Very cool write-ups! Helps to see a dissenting point of view sometimes.

The M1/M2 Mac Mini is really nice.

Some Reddit communities are still flourishing so I use both!
