How would you improve your productivity while browsing the web?

Question

Web browsers haven't evolved much since the 90s. Sure, they are more secure and support more formats/media. But from a productivity viewpoint, they haven't changed much.

What would you change/add/remove from your web browser to improve your productivity?

I like what Opera (a decade ago) and Vivaldi resurrected recently: the ability to create groups of tabs, and to open and close them whenever you want. We need something similar for Firefox, if you want to help develop it.

I'd set mental(and sometimes actual) timers to balance rewards(YT videos, Netflix, etc.) after a couple of hours of work. That way I don't burnout and I can worry less about being productive always and do deep work instead.

@uma_venugopal that's a very effective and popular approach, do you use any tools to automate it?

@simplytedel This seems like an easy enough feature to build into Firefox. Have you tried any Firefox extensions that were made for this purpose?

Tedel · Answer

@izakotim Yes, but I don't get the same result.
