My zeal for “privacy” on the Internet may be my undoing. All of these tools to combat ads and trackers are wonderful but having them work together is a bit of a mess. If I have a problem is it Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox? Is it uBlock Origin? Maybe it’s AdGuard DNS? I guess as with anything more of a good thing isn’t necessarily a good thing overall.

Sounds like some nice updates are coming to iA Writer in the new year:

Big door opening: 2026 is the year where iA Writer gets outline. We’ve been working on this forever. We refactored half the app to make it the smoothest, simplest, and most efficient outline function possible.

and:

And, yes, finally, iA Writer will not just get new templates, but an all new templating system with some really great new custom fonts.

It’s hard to believe I paid for this app once for iOS in 2016, and once for Mac in 2017, and year after year they have provided all updates for free.
