Why I switched to Brave Browser

At the beginning there were Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator and I've always preferred Netscape Navigator.

Then Mozilla released Firefox and I've chosen it as my favourite browser for years.

Recently I was forced to switch from Firefox to Brave Browser because I realized that a Chromium based browser is ligther and more reactive on my old notebook.

That's not good as I would have preferred to use Firefox, but Mozilla have created a very heavy piece of software.

Browsing must not be a pain...

Mozilla, if you're there, give us a shout!

I’ve recently started to use TickTick as my daily ToDo list. For the moment I prefer to keep away from all the AI mess is out there.

Finally the sun after a weekend of rain, but unluckily it is time to work. 😟

Rolling cryptos

I've always been skeptical about all that crypto enthusiasm that lead us to a sort of a crypto bubble.

I'm not against Bitcoin or blockchain, but I'm aware that behind the scenes there is much more speculation than we think.

Technology may be good, but the way we use it may be bad.

It’s Monday and there is a full week ahead. I want to face it step by step. πŸ’ͺ

Simplicity isn't simple

As I'm getting older I tend to appreciate more and more simple and essential things, both in life and technology.

Year after year I realized that tech companies tend to overcomplicate their products with tons of functionalities that only few people really use.

Selling a product as the best in the market is not enough if I've to spend months understanding how this product works.

A long learning curve will probably let those companies loose customers.

Will metaverse be a place to avoid?

While there are some interesting applications for the metaverse (e.g. remote working), there are also a lot of risks related to this possible future web development.

Many companies including META are investing a lot of money to bring metaverse into reality. Reason is simple: metaverse is a kind of Second Life (do you remember it?) with steroids.

A virtual world packed with crypto wallets that will let you buy and sell virtual things and that allows big tech companies to take a step further on targeting ads to you.

I do hope to be wrong, but that's the kind of web we might see in the future.
