Make youtube et al. automatically add subtitles to every video, even the old ones, while/before it plays. I know it's possible.

Give accessibility tools for people, not crawlers. Give me automatic flashing/flickering lights and eyestrain warnings. I know it's possible.

Ugh I know it’s such an annoying saying. I feel like everyone always says it after you’ve failed and feel like garbage.

I hate to say it, but it’s true. We all have our way of doing things and you’re going to be miserable trying to make your path just like someone else’s. 

Some people struggle early in life, and some later. Some people know exactly what they want, and some people take a really long time to find it. 

If things don’t work out the way you thought they would right away, don’t panic. You don’t have to give up on your dreams and sometimes it helps you find a new dream. 

But I did take some time to set up Vivaldi (which took me a not unimportant amount of time!) and have used it a bit yesterday. Of course, both are a bit inconvenient because I actually have Firefox set up with a profile, and regularly use the "tabs on anothe device"-function. But since I want a browser for data safety reasons, creating a profile to get these features is not an option.

Instead I am going the "uncomfortable" route of needing to either KNOW my passwords (unsafe because one tends to choose simpler passwords this way) or have it stored somewhere offline (also not the safest but possible).

So I not only got myself some browsers, but I actually think about having three browsers with various safety levels for different browsing behaviours;

unsafe actions; i.e. watching youtube videos, listening to radio, reading the news. This one has a lot of ad blockers but little safety standards set up.

regular safety; i.e. anything that gets potential access to my computer like photo editing of locally stored files, downloading music and files, etc. This has adblockers and more safety regulations, like storing passwords is okay but third-party cookies are blocked and such.

safe browsing; i.e. e-banking (where it's not its own app), threema web, etc. Basically anything that needs a verification of my personal data. This one gets heavily secured, with no password storing, no browsing history, heavily adblocked and no java (not sure wether that's possible but we'll see), etc.

This seems like a huge thing now, but once it's set in place it should actually work pretty neatly.
