Never thought I would post how nice a browser is, but highly recommend Zen Browser (based on Firefox). Switched from Firefox the past week and everyday I am finding out useful features! Favorite so far is the built in keyboard shortcuts that act like i3 work spaces.

It’s very sad to see the end of Go Time. I had a fantastic time doing it. I learned so much, and got to meet so many great people. We had a lot of fun, and a lot of credit goes to the other hosts and the team behind the scenes. Changelog make fantastic podcasts and I can’t wait for what’s next.
