   Same. Our ERP system doesn't work well with Firefox, and I didn't want to use Chrome. Brave fixed both issues, and it just feels lighter than either of the two other browsers on my Pop_OS! Thinkpad.

   Nice, that's the next step up. Man-in-the-middle Android apps to discover (sometimes different API backend). I did the same with a shipping line which turned out to use a SOAP backend.

    Google Domains I know....google. But it's pretty slick to use. Easy to buy and setup a free catchall email address on the new domain redirecting to my existing email.

    Agreed, that's not a pragmatic path. But if starting a business is your goal, and finding a viable idea is your obstacle, I'd argue this is a sure-shot way of FINDING said idea. Some potential paths can be: 1. SWE @ SW company -&g
