I have 285 passwords and I don’t remember signing up for most of them. While migrating my email away from Gmail, I also started eyeing the Proton Pass solution. I’ve been using 1Password since 2019 when I realised I couldn’t keep track anymore. At the time I had most of them in my browser, Chrome, just by clicking on the popup whenever it appeared. But I didn’t use Chrome on all my devices and it also made it harder for me to try different browsers. So even though it worked fairly well, I still had to scroll through the list often.

I recently made the switch from Vivaldi to Firefox, for no other reason than that I wanted a change after a few years with it. I can’t say that anything really bothered me about the experience, but I like change and trying new things. After a couple of days I realised that I miss Vivaldi’s workspaces and sessions features quite a bit. If you’re unfamiliar with them: Sessions let you save all tabs in a window. A session can then be opened easily later on, just like a saved file. Workspaces allow you to switch what you see within the same session, either in the same window or a new one.

Both features allow me to work with the tabs for as long as I need. I can keep them open as references for whatever I am doing. ...

A month has passed quickly and I still haven’t taken the time to get a post published, I didn’t realise it would be that hard. I’ve started some 40 drafts by now, but none that I thought had enough substance to publish. Something I did realise along the way was that drafting had replaced my journalling in a way: I was already writing, mostly to clear my mind. This same thought was the reason I started the blog again; perhaps, I can just throw it out there for someone else to read. So in fact, publishing something will just be the next step. ...
