    I always learn something from your videos.
    I like a Chrome extension called Speed Dial 2. I can enter the URL of my favorite sites, and they appear as icons in an array as a home screen. I can add, rearrange and remove them easily.

    You can get most thing with firefox CSS. As it is still very basic in windows, better to switch everything later. Edge/firefox/vivaldi even opera is now better alternative than chrome. Arc needs sometimes to include all of its features in windows version. After that, it will surely be a great browser. Meanwhile, you can try some different browsers, like sidekick, wavebox, stack next se, sigmaos(macos)

      It became popular because of the Mac users and they heavily praised and promoted it, then Windows users demanded it to be on the Windows platform. I think it became so powerful among Mac users because most of them use Safari and it doesn't have these features, though I'm sure because I don't own a Mac.
