Yesterday, I finally couldn't stand the high memory usage of the Arc browser and switched to Edge.
My computer has a 24 GB M2 chip, and the Arc browser occasionally consumes around 6 GB of memory. It makes my computer lag when I have multiple software open. Even if this browser is good, I have to give it up. If the issue of high memory usage cannot be resolved, the future development of the Arc browser will not be good either.
Choosing a new browser tortured me for a few hours. Before using Arc, I had been using Safari, and it could still be used as the main browser. However, its weak plugin system is frustrating. The two plugins I frequently use, ChatGPT for Google and ChatHub, can only be used in Chromium-based browsers. Since I use these two plugins frequently, Safari is not suitable as the main browser.
So, I set my sights on Vivaldi and Edge. Compared to the two, I actually prefer the former. It has a high level of customization, a beautiful interface, and the ability to split and manage tabs uniquely. However, it currently doesn't have an iOS version, which makes seamless switching difficult, and its collection feature (reading list) is not perfect. Therefore, I had to choose Edge.
When I switched to Edge, I encountered a huge problem. xLog, Tana, and ChatHub all reported errors. I tried troubleshooting with my limited knowledge but couldn't find the issue, so I had to seek help from the developers.
The developers of xLog and Tana responded very quickly and immediately started helping me solve the problem. However, after a night of troubleshooting, everything seemed to be in order, but the errors persisted.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a developer from xLog asked me: "Did AdGuard intercept the third-party headers?"
That woke me up. I quickly opened AdGuard, and sure enough, the "Intercept third-party authorization headers" option was selected.
After deselecting the "Intercept third-party authorization headers" option, the world became harmonious and beautiful, and society thrived.
I am very grateful to the developers of xLog, Tana, and ChatHub, especially the folks at xLog who tirelessly worked to solve my problem late into the night and were still thinking about the cause this morning. I want to give them a big shoutout.

Recently, in my paid column, I have been serializing "Seventy Thoughts on the Second Brain." I have already written four articles with a total of 23 thoughts. For me, this is a very good way to organize my thoughts, especially after I started building LifeOS. Looking at the second brain, knowledge management, information management, and personal growth from this macro perspective is different from when I first started operating the second brain.
There is a small stroke of luck that MoonTree on Jike discovered me and recognized me. She even added me to the WeChat group she maintains. It's been a long time since I received affirmation for doing something I'm interested in, and this feeling is very strange.
After observing for a day, I found that the quality of this WeChat group is very high, and I often see profound insights.
Some time ago, I also added Wei Chen, the person in charge of Life's Wonderful Journey, on WeChat. I also joined his community and WeChat group, and the quality is also very high.
I admire them because they not only have great development in their professional fields but also excel in their areas of interest. This might be the saying, "There are always people better than you."?
The power of role models is infinite, and I hope I can learn from them.
