Firefox.

It's the only browser which can give me certain very simple behaviours. For example, noise the bookmark toolbar a lot. And I want bookmarks from that toolbar to automatically open in a new tab when I left-click on them. Firefox can give me that, whereas Chrome and most Chromium-based browsers don't even give me the option. I have to middle-click or ctrl-click, otherwise that bookmark mercilessly opens over my current tab. Could I teach myself a new habit (middle-click instead of left-click in the bookmark bar)? Sure. Should I have to?

The only Chromium browser that was able to give me this behaviour is Vivaldi, and that had a whole lot of other problems.

The other killer Firefox feature is tab containers. Wouldn't want to go another day without them.

Maybe not the most unfun game I have ever played (I've played games since the late 90s), but certainly the most unfun I have played in recent years: Elex.

I liked Piranha Bytes' old Gothic series a lot despite its weaknesses and idiosyncrasies. The Risen games weren't that great, but the reviews for Elex were pretty promising. So I gave it a shot, and tried for about 16 hours to find the fun in it. I stopped playing when I realised:

  • I couldn't hold my own in almost any battle because I didn't have good enough gear
  • In order to get better gear, I had to join one of the game's factions
  • In order to join one of the factions, I had to perform a number of tasks for them
  • The factions were all just dickheads, and I didn't want to do anything for them, much less their dirty work

So yeah, no fun to be had with this one.
