Tools that I am testing
- Wavebox – Follow up from 2 weeks ago. The lack of extension support is what is keeping me away from buying premium at this point. The program is built on chromium / electron but doesn’t allow extensions such as Mailvelope or uBlock origin. Perhaps if I start using more webapps I will reconsider this choice.
