Ask HN: What products have you used regularly for years?
Websites, apps, SaaS services, or even physical stores. What brands and companies have survived the test of time in your life?
2. Adblockers - I cannot use the internet without them. I actually use two -- adguard and ublock
3. Yelp - Cause knowing where to eat is a perpetual need
4. Video Speed Controller - Chrome Extension that speeds up all html5 videos. Youtube already supports this, but now I can speed up Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vimeo, etc
5. Venmo -- still the best way of paying friends
6. MightyText -- because typing on phones is slow
7. Google Drive, because enough docs/downloads/sheets already sync with it, and dropbox is redundant
8. Costco/Amazon.com/Farmer's Markets. I'm a massive consumer (mostly foods), but get 99% of everything I buy from those three sources. The last 1% probably comes from time-sensitive runs to a local pharmacy/drugstore.
9. Youtube for music. Still has more selection than all the other services combined
2. Apple nearly everything - I've switched to Android and back several times, and have used Linux as my main desktop quite a bit, but I keep coming back to the Apple ecosystem. For all of its shortcomings (and there are certainly a few), Apple makes decent products that still mostly just work, and I like the fact that they make their money selling products, not ads, which is one of the big factors that has kept me from migrating to Google everything.
2. Google Maps
3. Amazon
4. Snapseed iOS - The best photo editing app I've found.
5. Lightroom
6. Sublime Text
