agents.md actually lists this out well.

> extra, sometimes detailed context coding agents need: build steps, tests, and conventions that might clutter a README or aren’t relevant to human contributors.

you can customize Firefox with CSS.

my Firefox actually looks similar to this:
github.com/rakhalfps/gw...

I've been vertical tabbing for quite sometime now and have it almost as clean as Safari.

what is stopping you from heading to 🦊 at this point?

Chrome has removed uBlock Origin - only the most useful extension on the planet.

arr but when I go to a new tab they move the existing open tas + search back to the top. guessing there's a flag that avoids this

Here's a quick example of how i used #Cursor today for some #AndroidDev.

It got about ~85% of the way. But importantly it took almost no 🧠 headspace and I could just sit back while it combed through the gradle files figuring things out.

Cursor @cursor.com.web.brid.gy (for AI coding) and @warp.dev (for Terminal-ing) has really started to spoil me.

Especially with Warp, there are things that annoy me about it but dang it's so nice to just talk to your terminal and not have to recollect the command contortions on my own.

If you haven't used the "Emoji Workshop" when picking a wallpaper for your Pixel phone, I highly recommend it.

I initially dismissed it as a what er feature but I tried it on a whim and it's brilliant, with a live twist that works well for Android.

Wish I used the feature sooner !

This is on a warm start (fwiw) and I closed some of those tabs (given what I saw in the last screenshot)

Am I missing something? This is the image picker folder structure on my Android phone now. 😒. This is the kind of experience that's just such a turn off in terms of quality and polish.

@bsk.bsky.social btw has an advantage because of React Native but the Android apps violate some basic stuff. (My pet peeve)
