Since you mentioned a Postman alternative, we are building an open source {free} Postman alternative: Hoppscotch - API request builder for web.

LastPass is awful. 1Password is infinitely better

I have been using LastPass Family for few years and I am satisfied with the product.

Of course UX could be better but at this point of time I am lazy for the effort to move anywhere else for Password Management

If I ditch LastPass someday, I would definitely go for some Open Source solution and I hear about Bitwarden very often in this space.

Thanks, @jonrandy for your recommendation. I have been using LastPass for 3 years now and tbh I'm really satisfied with it.

Why you find LastPass awful?

Well, I know it provides essentially the same functionality, but everything feels just better with 1Password. The flows of the interactions. The user interface. The browser integration. The mobile integration. Everything feels just wayyyy slicker and easy to use.

I had to start using LastPass recently at a new job, and it really is clunky and awful in comparison

Great list of extensions @seifeldeen92

I would recommend one last extension: PictureInPicture by Google

Enables PiP in almost all the websites for any Chromium based browser.

Try DuckDuckGo, it does this without the additional extension. You might like it.
