  • I tried Ironfox for several weeks some months ago. I like the project, but it was painfully slow, mainly because it disables JIT and some other things. (Brave also has a JIT-less mode, but I found it to be faster than Ironfox.)

    Also, it comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled, which is good, but the devs enable by default a ton of lists, which contributes to the slowness. I suppose that if you have a fast device it won’t matter, but on a low to mid-range device it becomes unbearable. The best you can do is disable the preinstalled lists and use one of the modes recommended by uBlock.



  • I have a refrigerator from around 1988 or 1989 that still works perfectly. Around 1999, it stopped working, so we bought a new one. We didn’t throw away the old fridge because we used it to store plates and cutlery, but we were sure that it was completely broken. Then, last year, a technician saw it and told us that only a component needed to be replaced for it to work again. Lo and behold, the damn thing was revived, and after a two-decade slumber it worked again as if no time had passed.
