Applications

I use a lot of applications on my mac. Below is a list of the ones that use the most in my day to day life.

Browsers

Firefox Browser Developer Edition

My main browser for all my surfing needs - which cares about your privacy
I also use Firefox for web developing as I find Firefox DevTools to be better than Chrome DevTools

Firefox Extensions:

Bitwarden - Secure, open source password manager
Bypass Paywalls - Bypass paywalls for selected sites
Decentraleyes - Tracker blocker
Enhancer for Youtube - YouTube on steroids
HTTPS Everywhere - Enforce HTTPS connections
Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker
Octotree - Github on steroids
Privacy Badger - Tracker blocker
traktflix - Scrobbles videos watched on Netflix to trakt.tv
uBlock Origin - Best Adblock on the block
Universal Bypass - Bypass sites which make you wait
Wide Github - Makes GitHub layout wide on Mozilla Firefox.

Google Chrome

I only use Google Chrome for frontend testing, since most browsers run on Google’s open-source Chromium engine
Also using ChromeDriver for browser automation e.g. for web crawling

Safari

My only browser without any Adblocker extensions installed
Using this whenever I need access to Anti-Adblocker sites or whenever I need to allow tracking cookies e.g. when I want to buy something with Cashback via Shoop

Code

VS Code - Code editor

My main editor that I use to write code in
My editor setup and extensions are described here

JetBrains IDEs

Mainly using JetBrains IDEs for their Refactoring capabilities and to get a clear separation between work-related and private side projects
Using WebStorm for big work-related frontend projects
Using IntelliJ IDEA for big work-related backend projects
Using PyCharm for bigger Python projects
Settings are synced via the Settings Sync Feature
