the tools you use shape you, i didn't really get that until like this year, but i have a big problem with google chrome and i thiink its messing up my brain

google search bar + tabs makes it too easy to wander instantaneously and lose intention/awareness.

my brain wanders and chrome helps reinforce that behavior until it gets progressively worse at being intentional and directed

made a custom browser called Roam Garden (centered around #roamresearch not google) over the past couple days and it's tailor-made for intentional browsing that really pushes you to architect your browsing behaviors while at the same time helping you garden and make connections

sometimes **worse** numbers and **more** friction allow for more humane design, which i never realized before this

can't share now, maybe in a couple months, but very excited
