I've started maintaining my own Firefox fork that:

- removes the stuff that I don't care about (Firefox sync, VPN, etc.)

- fixes a lot of the awful UX/UI choices that the (frankly) incompetent product team at Mozilla refuse to

- actually adds stuff that I do like integrated mail and calendar, a document library system (basically Notion), native ad-blocking, terminal, task-tracking like Trello, time-tracking like Harvest, etc.

- has integrated AI (Apple intelligence for MacOS for the easy stuff and Claude for the hard stuff

It means that instead of having half a dozen applications open, I can just work within my Firefox fork. Because it's all deeply integrated, I can do wild stuff like:

- tell my AI to search the web on a schedule and send me a custom daily brief with my own email

- maintain a comprehensive memory of all of the work that I do, across half a dozen clients, and be able to query it easily

- pull analytics from multiple web dashboards and format them into something cohesive

- program the web with a node-based infinite canvas that has live websites as part of the workflow

- manage my tasks across multiple domains (for example, it will see that I sent an email to a client and automatically update a task that says that I need to do that)

It's incredibly powerful and it has made me much, much more efficient.
