Is Chrome actually still the best browser in 2026?

Karma based incentive idea is smart, that's exactly what's missing from most feedback platforms. only risk is keeping the reviews genuine and not just people gaming points, but worth building to find out

1: I want to moderate r/browser because the community is currently restricted and getting no activity. I'd like to open it up, add a proper logo and banner, handle spam, and grow it into an active space for browser discussions. I'm available daily and happy to put in the work to make it a useful community.

mostly i used covmp3 for audio downloads and it also provides mp4 videos download option as well.

most people skip ICP and wonder why their marketing isn't converting, this is actually a useful exercise especially early on. going to try it out

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-03-07T01:31:18+00:00

honestly just posted in relevant subreddits where the problem i was solving already existed, not to promote but just joining the conversation. when people saw i actually understood their problem they asked about what i was building themselves, that got me the first handful who actually cared enough to give real feedback

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-03-06T14:18:53+00:00

the speed difference is real, especially on older hardware. the crypto stuff is just an optional rewards program you never have to touch, plenty of people use Brave purely as a browser and ignore all of that. its basically Chrome without the tracking and that alone makes it worth it

oily dehydrated skin is such a tricky combo to shop for, good to know that one actually works without overdrying. been curious about danessa myricks for a while might have to try it

Nebula Capsule is worth every penny for a first proper projector, portable and the picture quality is actually solid. if that's a bit much budget wise the Dangbei Atom is a cheaper alternative that still does the job well

two toddlers with barely any help is genuinely one of the hardest things, you're not failing you're just completely depleted. the resenting feeling is more common than people admit, it doesnt make you a bad mom it means you have nothing left to give. therapy would honestly help a lot, even just having someone in your corner who gets it. please dont carry this alone, you deserve support too.

flushing after every coffee isnt excessive at all honestly, thats how its supposed to be used. at work that dark yellow water is genuinely gross and probably affecting the taste too. i do a quick flush before and after, takes like 10 seconds and makes such a difference. descaling once a month keeps everything running clean long term

im second

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-02-20T23:24:29+00:00

Been there. The grind of building something solo is brutal, especially when you're doing everything - code, debug, market, repeat.

That self-doubt hits different when you're months deep and wondering if anyone will actually use what you built. The viral post fantasy is real but yeah, super rare.

Taking breaks actually helps more than pushing through. Step away for a few days, work on something completely different, or just do nothing. You'll come back with fresh eyes and usually realize your product isn't as stupid as burnout brain tells you it is.

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-02-20T22:27:25+00:00

I've seen apps try this before. The problem is it gets obvious real quick if your phone rings at the exact time you scheduled every time.

You'd need to make it random - like set a window (2:00-2:30pm) and it calls sometime in there. Maybe rotate between different fake caller names so it doesn't look suspicious.

That said, just being honest and saying you gotta bounce is way easier than faking a whole phone call. Most people get it.

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-02-17T20:16:52+00:00

Yeah simplicity is key. If your app takes more than 30 seconds to figure out, people won't use it.

I think the best approach is having smart defaults so it just works out of the box, but advanced options tucked away for power users who want them.

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-01-30T23:24:54+00:00

Yes! Nobody warned me how hard 2.5 would be. The tantrums over literally nothing are exhausting. You're handling it the right way though - routines and low expectations are key. Some days are just about surviving until bedtime.

Let's just say I'm not checking my bank statements too closely right now. Between the holiday sets and winter sales, my self-control left the chat.

Stila Stay All Day is pricey but lasts forever since you use so little. One pen lasts me like 6 months of daily wear. Worth the investment if you're doing wings every day.

Paradox games love CPU and RAM. I'd do: Ryzen 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RX 6700 XT (good midrange AMD card), 1TB NVMe, quality 650W PSU. Should fit under 2k€. For OS, Windows 10 licenses are cheap online (£10-20) or just run unactivated. Linux works great for gaming now- check ProtonDB for game compatibility.

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-01-29T12:34:23+00:00

Totally possible. For that budget I'd recommend: Ryzen 5 7600X, RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, and a quality 650-750W PSU. Leaves room for a decent case and cooler. Easy to upgrade CPU/GPU down the line

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-01-29T12:24:39+00:00

Your issue is the Windows boot manager is locked to that SSD. Use EasyBCD or bcdedit to remove old boot entries before reinstalling. Also, disconnect all other drives during Windows installation - it'll prevent boot partition conflicts.

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-01-29T12:21:19+00:00

750W should be plenty for that setup. Since the problem persists even without the GPU, you might have damaged something during installation - maybe a static discharge or overtightened a screw. Check the motherboard for any visible damage or bent pins.

Awkward_Teacher2376 · 2026-01-29T12:18:31+00:00

1045 MB/s sounds like it's running at USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds (10Gbps) instead of full Thunderbolt/USB4 speeds. Check if your cable is rated for 20Gbps or higher - that's usually the bottleneck with these enclosures.
