I just moved my main browser on Android to Edge using the uBlock Origin installation trick. It will not have a happy ending as I hoped. I will consider moving away from Edge on my PC now.
Sadly, I still cannot add custom filters to uBlock Lite.
Have you tried Kiwi browser on Android? It's supported installing extensions for many years but for some reason never gets much traction. I guess they don't have enough of a marketing budget.
I was long time Kiwi user, then changed to Cromite recently. But I missed uBlock Origin so I decided to give Edge a try. And fyi, Kiwi browser is discontinued. [1]
Brave lets you add custom filter lists and write your own filters. The blocker can also do eg. CNAME uncloaking, which even full-fat uBO can't do on Chromium.
The classic Outlook is good now. Enterprise did integrate many addins to it for years. I don’t know replacing with the web based one is better or not. I guess not.
Outlook was better in the past, too. The "Advanced Find" functionality was better than any other email client I've ever used and it was gutted in 2013 (or 2016-- I don't recall). Outlook (and Office) 2010 we're the peak of the product to me.
The feature is still there but it doesn't return all results like it did in older version of Office. 2016 had a nasty bug that made the Advanced Find window "disappear" (resized itself to a tiny sliver and unless you know the ALT-SPACE shortcut to get to Resize the window is just lost). I don't know if that but persisted into newer versions. Microsoft acknowledged the bug but said they were de-emphasizing Advanced Find in favor of the awful search in the main Outlook window.
In Outlook 2010 I could do a search for all messages from a given sender with specific words in the subject and an attachment of at least 100KB and get results.
Totally agree! Let's make a real joy such like this one. I feel a great sense of satisfaction and excitement watching the File Pilot development process.
Just wow. Seeing the demo, I just hope Microsoft can do somthing like that with current Explorer app. It's good now but still can improve more with something like File Pilot
Explorer is slow because it's extensible. All the thumbnails and extra stuff in the context menu is what slows it down. There's some pathological cases like "opening a folder with an MP3 file in" which puts it into scanning all the files for ID3 tags.
Fpilot is a great example of how it's possible to make something MUCH faster by limiting the feature set.
(also some of the NTFS APIs are horribly slow for extended information)
I don't know if Windows Explorer has regressed since Vista, but back then I remember it doing everything I wanted and more, down to viewing and editing MP3 and JPG metadata in some panel, filtering, grouping, smart searches, etc.
What else do you need from it?
I don't know the state now because I've since switched to macOS, which has Finder, an absolute toy in comparison (other than QuickLook and Column View)
The original comment by gnabgib was flagged after a while, so I will post it again for those who come later. I think this comment will be flagged soon. I don’t know why some people don’t want this news to spread.
This site is not about just any news anyone wants to hear about, there is a focus behind it. And honestly the reason I frequent this website is specifically because political garbage is usually down voted, flagged or removed fairly quickly as it typically just causes flame wars with no actual actionable things and nothing of value is learned from it.
Tagging / @mentions don't trigger anything unless a mod happens to see it (which is rare / unlikely, given the volume of posts every day). However, you can email the staff: hn@ycombinator.com.
Be sure to include your reasoning for what is wrong with or unfair about the tag and why the story warrants special treatment.
