Been on Firefox for years. The new engine (GeckoView) is fast. Privacy features are great.
Only downside: some sites work better on Chrome. But you can use uBlock Origin which blocks most trackers anyway.
Chrome is fine for work, Firefox for personal.
Brave is good but controversial (they had some ad issues). Firefox is solid and open source.
Actually, Brave is based on Chromium like Chrome, so you can use Chrome extensions. Firefox has its own extension system.
For privacy without hassle: Brave. For open source: Firefox.
Started with GIMP, switched to Photopea. Photopea is way easier to use – basically Photoshop in the cloud.
For student stuff (homework, presentations, basic editing) Photopea is perfect. Free and no install needed.

Thinking about getting an Apple Watch mainly for focus/time tracking and maybe standing more.
Devs who have one – is it actually useful? Or just a fancy notification machine?
Not sure if its worth the $300+
Need to get organized. Been using a simple notes app but need something better for tasks and projects.
Notion seems powerful but complex. Todoist is simple but maybe too simple?
What do you use?
Get Air. Seriously.
M3 Air is plenty powerful for web dev. The Pro is overkill unless you do video editing, 3D work, or machine learning.
Saved $1000+ by going Air. Used that money for courses and a good monitor instead.
Sketch user here – not planning to switch yet.
Its not dead, just slower updates. The community is still active, plugins are great. If you already know Sketch well, no need to learn new tool just for the sake of it.
But for NEW designers? Start with Figma. The industry moved on.
Made the switch from Sketch to Figma 2 years ago, never looked back.
Figma is free for individuals (up to 3 projects), works in browser (no Mac-only!), and collaboration is WAY better. The prototyping is also more intuitive.
Sketch still works fine but honestly Figma won. Most new jobs list Figma, not Sketch.
