  • Using Vivaldi more than, and soon instead of, Edge
  • Tutanota subscription for extra emails (might also get one for Proton at some point, one can never have too many emails)
  • Koffr for medium-sized cloud storage instead of Google Drive
  • LanguageTool for small text cloud storage and instead of Grammarly
  • Mistral instead of ChatGPT and sometimes instead of Google Translate (I can tell it to show its work)

And soon(weeks/days from now):

  • Linux as main OS instead of Windows

BTW, Grammarly is a sad story. They started out in Kiev in 2009, and sometime in the 2010s, they moved their headquarters to San Francisco. Idk if they gave official reasons.
