I’m not so sure about this article. I’ve crafted my daily computing into various buckets not only to stay organized, but to compartment different activities from each other. For example I have a browser profile for NSFW activity that I don’t want anywhere near my professional work related activity. Likewise I have a whole browser profile dedicated to casual surfing of the web with browsing history turned off and all the browsing artifacts get erased upon closing the browser. This isolates sessions so that cookies etc can’t build massive profiles of me. Likewise I have a browser profile where I need to be logged into various services (Amazon, Netflix, Spotify etc) which keeps cookies, and no other browsing is done apart from using those specific sites.

If I need to be productive, again, I context switch into a dedicated workstation that has all my devtools ready, alongside specially configured browsers that I use to test the sites I’m building. These browsers again are separated and highly context specific.

Welcome to modern computing! Context switching is on the menu :)
