What keyboard do you use?

Why? How is your experience with it? Is it your favo(u)rite ever? Would you replace it? What will be the next?

Will, eventually, Mozilla be a Microsoft acquisition?

MDN, Rust, software patents (Mozilla Open Software Patent License (MOSPL)), open source, ...

I have this feeling that it is not so unlikely. Could even be another acquirer, but this eventuality is not so relevant at the present time.

I am interested in opinions about this topic.

What is your current browser for personal use? Pro and cons?

A couple years ago I switched (from Chrome) to Firefox as main option for personal use (and, more recently, Firefox Nightly on mobile). I can say that, despite some quirks, I am happy with the browser and the general Mozilla products ecosystem (often the true differential).

The features I use the most are sync (mostly because of some settings and extensions as I am lazy to configure it manually), Bookmark Tags and Firefox Multi-Account Containers

I sometime try other (available for Linux) browsers from time to time but recently decided to o have a second option ready to go because, never knows :)

I did the homework and found the almost one year old What is your Favorite Browser? (among a few more resources), but I'd like to ask:

what is your current browser for personal use? Can you point pro and cons out?

What are your thoughts? Do you have any insight that can help to guide ourselves among those events and nuances? Is it exclusively a catastrophe or are new horizons opening up? Please, share your point of view.

How (and what) is it to be an independent developer?

If you are an independent developer please share your experiences, insights, how you achieve your goals, etc :)

What do you use to test JavaScript code (if)?

There are many alternatives, sometimes is not a free choice (work, consolidated projects, etc).

But what do you prefer to use and how do you choose it?

Personal and work examples are welcome.

How do you learn?

First of all, thanks to everyone contribution.
I also found @swyx 's Learn In Public (NYC) article and Learn in Public - React Knowledgeable video that offer additional and even broader cues.

A futher interesting reading is @oieeaaaa 's Why do you code? In fact, this would be my next question :D

I recently commented on What are you learning?, but I quickly realized (after the first five characters) that my comment is more about the how than the what.

At times, to learn certain topics can feel as a pretty boring duty. Consequently I chose creative/generative coding (an activity that appeals to me) as booster. I currently adopted a somewhat chaotic, eclectic (broader?) routine.

As part of this routine, and when possible, I often take a working code in some other language to translate it, iteratively "improving" and when possible, learning how original features could be translated too, as Python zip, range functions to ES (vulgo JavaScript).

Not sure how it could work in a medium or long term, so far it is pretty funny and efficient for me.

So, I have to ask now:

How do you learn?

Any suggestion, hint, tip (!) will be very welcome. And good learning to everyone :D

How do you manage your bookmarks?

Especially the relevant ones, not yet read, not to be buried or forget about, worthy of future review but that, for any reason, can not be read immediately.

Browser extensions, external apps, custom tools, paper and pencil, etc?
