Goodbye Chrome

I have been looking for a way to ditch the resource hungry Chrome and switch to a new browser. So far Edge has been unstable, Opera somehow still exists and Brave is just meh. Hence, my hype for the new Firefox dubbed Firefox Quantum! 

Even though I was all hyped up for Firefox, I managed to keep my expectations minimum, coming into Firefox. And I love it! Firefox has always been customizable, but, Quantum takes it to a new level! You can change everything. The address bar, themes and even the URL bar. Not only that the browser also feels snappier and is actually fast. It manages to beat chrome almost every time and not only that the browser also consumes significantly fewer resources. Better at less this has to be a dream. Only it is not this Browser is a power users dream come true. It has a plethora of features. The one which I most like is the ability to open a web page on your phone to your PC, by simply tapping the "Send to Device". Add to that the integration of Pocket, the best save it for later tool on the internet, furthermore, there is also a nifty QR scanner built into the mobile browser. 

All in all, Firefox makes a compelling case against Chrome and has taken a giant leap towards beating the mighty Chrome's 60% market hold. Firefox means war! and I am all in on Firefox.

Someone is back in town!

The third season of Supergirl premiered this week. A series which I first started to watch because of the “hot chick” portraying SuperGirl, has now become of my favourites in Arrowverse. Last season ended with Kara losing the love of her life Mon-El. And this season begins with her questioning her decision! This is the most human that Supergirl is ever going to be. We see her shut off from the rest of the world. Kill Kara one might say and focus on chasing bank robbers and putting them behind bars. She even quits her job! The season premiere tries to be character heavy, something which I was not expecting it to be. The episode, however, introduces plot points for the rest of the season to build on. At first, we see the introduction of a new villain, whose name I have forgotten, a builder who plans to improve his business by levelling the place where the Supergirl statue is built. Next up we see an unknown ship into the ocean right at the end. And if that was not enough, anothe...

So I watched Baby Driver

I live in this country where it is nearly impossible for a moviegoer like me to get to watch all the latest blockbuster with the world! Either the movie does not get released or even worse it gets released and you have to go and waste your hard earned money on a trip to this small filthy room known as the movie theatre here to “enjoy” a movie. Well, I refuse to go through this ordeal, hence I have to wait for the movie to be available on the windows store (my preferred destination for movies and series) and enjoy the blockbusters the way they were meant to be enjoyed. So baby driver a return to the big screen for director Edgar Wright after his infamous exit from Ant-Man is one hell of a ride. Right from its first scene of our lead Baby listening to music while escaping from police. Shows what the movie is about. It is a heist drama wrapped in a musical. The concept is delightfully fresh and coupled with the excellent music track to the scenes, which are classic Edgar in style, m...

I have this urge to use Ubuntu

I have been a Windows user forever. I have used almost every version of Windows since, Windows XP. But, now I feel that the core experience of Windows has been stale since XP. We still need the start menu, the file Explorer is basically the same with little to no change. The icons are now modernised, but the base is still the same. New Apps like photos and Groove did bring a breath of fresh air in the Windows ecosystem, but it wore off quite quickly.  Now I find myself craving for new. Since Apple hardware is overpriced, I only have one way quench my thirst for change. Linux, while Linux is not the most popular operating systems in the world. Its distros look quite compelling and attract me. Ubuntu is leading the charge, they are the biggest among the distros. One could say that Ubuntu is the Windows of Linux distros. Hence, it should be stable right?  Who knows maybe one of these days Windows might do something, which might push me over the edge and bring chang...
