Yes, but not all the time. I usually alternate one “serious” read with 2-3 light/fun reads—think light novels, cozy mysteries, travelogues, etc.
If I try to tackle too many challenging reads back to back, it saps my motivation and I’m more likely to reach for the controller or remote than a book.

I moved to Ecosia a while back and just accepted the results are going to be worse/I need to be more precise. So far I haven’t found an alternative that really competes with what an experienced power user could get out of Google as recently as a few years ago.

Having FT access through work is a regular reminder of just how low the bar is at US papers. The Financial Times is just about the first place you’d expect to find nepo babies and outdated economic thinking (and they’re there in spades!), but it still somehow manages to put big US papers to shame…
