   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

• The billionaire oligarch Elon Musk (probably trillionaire during your lifetime) throws some billions to buy Twitter - promotes himself as the messiah who will rescue Free Speech. If this doesn't make you realize that the system is completely broken, I don't know what else will.

  You can start here. Musk running Twitter bots - for a long time at that - is pretty much common knowledge. Like this is how he became so insanely rich and why Tesla is so insanely overvalued by historical market KPIs. Source: about 2 years ago

• Downtown Toronto today. Saw a bunch of Canadian flag, USA flags and “Trump won” flags. Not sure what the protest is all about.
