I've been using a new WebKit-based browser called Orion. It is super snappy, has compatibility with Chrome and Firefox extensions, has power-user features built-in, is privacy focused (collects 0 telemetry as a tenet -- they are donation based), and continues to add features at super fast pace. I highly recommend giving it consideration if you are looking to move away from Chrome.

Some features I love: tree-style tabs. cross-window pinned tabs. low power mode which auto suspends tabs. in place editing of websites. profiles are their own application instance. extensions work on iOS. per-page user-agent. built in notes. preventing auto-playing videos. all this while retaining a native macOS UX.

If you want to avoid the rigamarole of self hosting, I recommend NextDNS. It's a paid DNS service with tons of customizability (i.e. Ad blocking) and visibility (i.e. logs)

Same question. The balance wheel/hairspring has to be losing energy overtime to friction (however miniscule). Otherwise we have ourselves a perpetual motion machine

At least in California, it is not illegal to change lanes in an intersection, given that the maneuver does not pose any other risk

Salesforce Is Down 5 years ago

Not even the fact that it's simple - it's the obvious and de facto way that a status page should be run: an architecture that is entirely separate from the main product so that an outage of the main service doesn't affect the status page itself

Something needs to be fundamentally re-architected if the status page is also down during an outage. The status page should be entirely separate so as not to be affected by the outage itself. This is a well known, and obvious, practice and it's disappointing that a behemoth such as Salesforce has not taken that seriously
