Browser from A to Z

Inputting A-Z one by one into the Google Chrome address bar, which domain names will my Google Chrome automatically complete?

This article is inspired by 2024: Browsers from A to Z, first published on Minority

A - https://axiom.co#

Axiom is my favorite website log collection and analysis tool, with a free version offering up to 500GB/month of free quota. Many of my products (including my latest project 1Space) use it for log collection.

If you're looking for a log tool, I highly recommend it!

B - https://baidu.com#

Undeniably... Although I don't really use Baidu much anymore, it's still the first place I go to for testing when the internet is down 😂

C - https://chatgpt.com#

ChatGPT, as a pioneer of the AI era, seems to still hold the top spot 🤔

If this article were written in 2024, my C might not be it; 2024 might be considered a year of decline for ChatGPT, but in 2025, O1-Pro and Deep Research brought it back to being the No.1 in the model field. I follow the latest cutting-edge technologies and have subscribed to ChatGPT Pro for up to $200/month. It may be expensive, but I truly believe it saves me a lot of time and effort.

D - https://discord.com#

When it comes to "community," it seems that more and more services have chosen to establish themselves on the Discord platform. Many of the products I use utilize it as a channel for product release and discussion.

E - edge://inspect#

I didn't expect it to be an Inspect page. This is the browser debugging tool page built into Chrome (but since I'm using Edge, it's edge://inspect instead of chrome://inspect). For my project 1Space, which uses Shared Workers as a multi-tab synchronization solution, I need to frequently access it to check synchronization logs.

F - https://fly.io#

Fly IO is a container service platform I've used for several years, which has powered the majority of my products (actually, I still have quite a few left, about 40%). The experience has been great.

What impresses me most about Fly IO is their recruitment. Their hiring process is different from most interviews, using a format of "doing 2-3 practical tasks" + "working with them for a day," focusing solely on ability, not background (they don't even require a resume), and it's fully remote with transparent salaries (only related to interview grading, not historical salaries or location).

G - https://gmail.com#

Gmail — an nonexistent email platform

H - http://localhost:3333#

Alright, it's localhost — port 3333 is used by my 1Space local development server.

I - https://inoreader.com#

Although RSS is becoming increasingly obsolete, and although there are more and more RSS platforms (hmm? The causal relationship between these two seems counterintuitive), I still believe RSS is the most suitable channel for my information collection, and inoreader is the best RSS client.

Just to add (advertisement time), inoreader has almost reached its peak in purely doing RSS, but our purpose for using RSS may not be to collect information but to learn from it. In terms of organizing and reviewing, inoreader is not as strong, and I even feel that other products that can serve as downstream knowledge management (like the readwise I'm currently using, which you might see represented by R below) are not excellent enough. Therefore, my goal with 1Space is to bridge the entire process of knowledge "collection - management - review."

J - https://www.jetbrains.com#

JetBrains was once the undisputed king of IDEs.

Ah, once. The experience with JetBrains is really much better than VS Code, even in the front-end domain where VS Code excels, I dare say WebStorm outperforms it. Unfortunately, we are now in the AI era, and IDEs have been reshaped by AI IDEs led by Cursor, and JetBrains has truly fallen behind in the AI trend. What defeats you may not be your competitors.

K - https://kb.singee.me#

Oh, my own Knowledge Base! My knowledge base has always been public, and many of my lazy not suitable for blog content are written there, mainly recording various notes and pitfalls I've encountered.

L - http://localhost:3333#

Hmm... Like H, it shows that I'm really working hard on 1Space.

M - https://monica.im#

Before I tested "M" in the browser, I guessed that my most frequently used site must include it.

Monica may not be heavily promoted, but most people have probably heard of another product from its parent company, Manus. If Manus is the bomb that completely replaces human labor, then Monica is the Swiss Army knife in your daily use of AI — the AI capabilities you need can almost always be found in Monica.

N - https://notion.so#

Surprisingly, it's Notion. Notion seems to need no further introduction; anyone who can see this article has probably encountered it. I was one of Notion's earliest users, but to be honest, I haven't used Notion much for quite some time... Other N-starting products just don't cut it 🤷

O - https://originui.com#

Another product exclusive to programmers. This is a UI component library, serving as a supplement to shadcn, also introduced in a "copy-paste" manner. It's worth a look for those who need it!

P - https://www.paypal.com#

Surprisingly, it's Paypal, a product similar to Alipay in China? Another product that I actually haven't used much; it seems that P-starting services are also not that impressive 😮‍💨

Q - Not Disclosed#

emm Internal corporate platform, skipping

R - https://read.readwise.io#

Oh! Readwise Reader! A read-later reader + RSS!

It's really quite useful, and for me as an early Readwise user, it's essentially an increase in value without an increase in price. However, I am not very satisfied with many of its details. My 1Space only officially started last year, but it had actually been planned for several years. At that time, just as I was about to start, Readwise Reader announced its project, and I was attracted by their promotion of "Reader for Power Reader," deciding to wait for their product. Unfortunately, after waiting so long, although it has improved significantly compared to other readers, it still doesn't meet my expectations 😮‍💨 In the end, I couldn't escape the fate of creating my own.

S - Not Disclosed#

The internal testing page of one of my products 🤔

T - temporal-web.temporal.svc.cluster.local:8080#

Temporal management panel. Temporal is a tool for workflow management and scheduling. Anyone writing back-end code should know that if a logic is written using very ordinary code, during the project's development, it can easily encounter an exponential increase in complexity. If basic operations like concurrency and retries are written out for every interface and every RPC call, it becomes meaningless and can easily lead to oversights that cause bombs upon deployment. Workflow is a solution for such scenarios; all your logic is defined as workflows, while retries, logs, concurrency, etc., are managed by the scheduler. It may seem a bit cumbersome in the early stages of the project, but as the project's complexity increases and its demands for concurrency rise, you will be grateful that you chose to organize your project using workflows back then.

Oh, by the way, Temporal is designed to support ultra-large projects. If your project is a small to medium-sized one, you might also consider other solutions like Trigger.dev, inngest, or Restate.

U - https://ui.shadcn.com#

If it weren't for this article being strictly organized in alphabetical order, it should be placed together with the previous Origin UI. Shadcn/ui is simply a blessing for developers without design skills; if you want to create your own product but struggle with how to make the page look good, you might want to give it a try.

Additionally, the developer of shadcn/ui has now joined Vercel, so Vercel's v0 has strong support for shadcn/ui. If you not only lack design skills but are not even a developer, then using v0, you can create a beautifully organized interface using shadcn/ui just by speaking.

V - https://v2ex.com#

i2exv2ex forum can be said to be the largest LGBTQ dating community programmer forum in China, yes, that's how it is.

W - Not Disclosed#

A page for one of my products

X - https://x.com#

The largest social platform in the world. To be honest, for those who don't follow celebrities, it's much more fun than Weibo.

Y - https://www.youdao.com#

Various dictionary software is emerging, but I still think Youdao is the best. It has resources from Webster, Collins, and Oxford, various original example sentences, and it's completely free.

Z - https://zeabur.com#

If you're a developer and don't want to waste too much energy on automatic deployment and operations, choose Zeabur! Push code for instant deployment, and most importantly, it has domestic server nodes, which is really useful.
