Others are creatures of habit, always seeking out Google Chrome and never wondering if a better browser is out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me? I prefer to play the field, tinkering with different browsers as they evolve\u2014and I think you should too. Ultimately, <strong>web browsers determine how you experience the internet<\/strong>, governing things like ad blocking and tab management. Switching browsers can unlock new experiences that you didn&#8217;t know were possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, I&#8217;ve assembled a couple of resources on the Advisorator web site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/web-browsers-a-field-guide\/\">A field guide to every notable web browser<\/a>.<\/strong> (Free for everyone.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/how-i-use-vivaldi-for-better-web-browsing\/\">A deeper dive into how I&#8217;m using Vivaldi<\/a><\/strong>, a great browser for power users. (For paid subscribers.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are part of a growing collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/advisorator-guides\/\">guides and tutorials for Advisorator subscribers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your choice may be, <strong>don&#8217;t be afraid to experiment<\/strong>. Web browsers are free software, the cost of switching is minimal, and trying a new browser is a great way to get out of your tech comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">News in brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week&#8217;s big story was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/07\/19\/what-is-crowdstrike-crwd-and-how-did-it-cause-global-it-outages.html\">worldwide IT blackout caused by CrowdStrike<\/a>, a cybersecurity firm that offers software for businesses and government agencies. On Friday, the firm delivered a faulty update that stuck millions of Windows machines in an endless reboot, disrupting airlines, banks, gas stations, hotels, and more. IT workers had no choice but to manually fix each affected computer. (Southwest was apparently unaffected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/tech\/windows-version-1992-saving-southwest-171922788.html\">because its systems use Windows 3.1<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this affected your work or travel in any way, you have my sympathies. While the snafu has no effect on home Windows PC users, I enjoyed Rich DeMuro&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/richontech.tv\/p\/how-a-software-update-glitch-halted\">lessons to apply to software updates in general<\/a>, and Ed Zitron&#8217;s drawing a line between CrowdStrike and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wheresyoured.at\/crowdstruck-2\/\">greater failures of the tech industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other news tidbits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Turns out the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air can support <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/inside\/ipad-pro\/best\/best-magnetic-ipad-stand\">magnetic charging stands<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samsung&#8217;s AI adds images to your photos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/7\/17\/24199005\/samsung-galaxy-ai-z-fold-6-sketch-to-image\">with worryingly accurate results<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OnePlus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/phones\/oneplus-phones\/oneplus-summer-launch-event-oneplus-nord-4-oneplus-pad-2-watch-2r-and-nord-buds-3-revealed\">announces<\/a> a cheaper Android phone, a better Android tablet, and a new WearOS smartwatch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anthropic&#8217;s Claude AI app <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/ai\/anthropic-brings-claude-to-android-5-prompts-to-get-started-with-this-powerful-ai\">arrives on Android<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The beloved iOS podcast app Overcast <a href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/linked\/2024\/07\/22\/overcast-new\">gets an overhaul<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filo makes a $179 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/7\/18\/24201200\/fiio-cd-player-dm13-portable-audio-bluetooth-discman\">portable player for CD snobs<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dwight Silverman found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/business\/tech\/article\/pebble-x-plus-speaker-review-19581852.php?utm_source=marketing&amp;utm_medium=copy-url-link&amp;utm_campaign=article-share&amp;hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaG91c3RvbmNocm9uaWNsZS5jb20vYnVzaW5lc3MvdGVjaC9hcnRpY2xlL3BlYmJsZS14LXBsdXMtc3BlYWtlci1yZXZpZXctMTk1ODE4NTIucGhw&amp;time=MTcyMTQ4ODE2OTI1Nw%3D%3D&amp;rid=YmE1NjU5MDMtMDM4OS00MDYwLWE1YzItNTYwNzYwZDQ2NDc5&amp;sharecount=OQ%3D%3D\">a new favorite set of computer speakers<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Docs gets <a href=\"https:\/\/workspaceupdates.googleblog.com\/2024\/07\/import-and-export-markdown-in-google-docs.html\">better Markdown support<\/a>.
