You can open a bookmark in a chosen tab via the context menu when right-clicking on a bookmark in e.g. your toolbar. I use this to separate Gmail accounts. I use private search for Google search.

Kudos. Usually these type of "in N lines of Python"-type things proceed to call a 3rd-party library like "sklearn" or "matplotlib" to do all the heavy lifting. Fun, educational article.

I really like this palette. If I had one caution, it would be for using it for symmetric or diverging colour scales. i.e. for anomalies with 0 at the centre. Typically zero would be at the lightest greyscale which for this palette is the ye

Confirmed. Turned on the beta program and exported ~1000 text messages over to Google Messages. Settings->Chats->SMS and MMS->Export. Involves changing the default app for SMS between Signal and Google Messages.
