As far as I remember it is inspired by the Grammar of Graphics, as is ggplot2 in the R ecosystem: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/0-387-28695-0
For me it also always had this moment when it „clicked“ just to disappear after not using it for a couple of months.
I have experienced an deterioration in the mobile browser experience. When using Safari on iOS you always get a full page prompt that wants you to switch to the app. The problem is that it is slightly delayed from the rest of the page loading. If you started to scroll, your viewport is now offset vertically, making it impossible to get to the latest message. The JS always forces you down. So now you need to hard reload, wait for the prompt again, skip and only then you are able to access the search and latest message. It maddening.
Unfortunately the many, many browser capabilities have given adtech enough entropy to actually create globally unique fingerprints. You can lookup yours with an estimation of uniqueness here: https://amiunique.org/fp
I personally like them for resolving merge conflicts by hand. It really helps just clicking on a section in blueish to instantly jump to a conflict in large-ish files.
