Lots of valid points in the article.

What I like about Brave Search is the quality of its AI answers compared to rivals. For quick fact-checks, it's pretty decent when I only need to extract 1-2 sentences.

Best thing of Brave search was to adopt the bang[0] syntax. It really helps to quickly redirect to YouTube, DDG, IMDB and Google when needed.

Regarding Gmail, I've read so many Google account suspension horror stories out here, that I'm legitimately scared to loose access if I do anything out of the ordinary. So I shifted from Gmail as my primary email service.

I paid for Proton mail for about a year, but the most basic paid account is very limited for my needs. Ended up purchasing Migadu Micro and a domain. The ability to own a domain and an email service is very underrated.

Catch-all is an absolutely must have for any decent mail service, yet, impossible with dedicated mail services such as Gmail or Proton. And there’s no better way to combat spam and unsolicited emails than server-side bouncing.
