Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 129, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. I’ve switched my go-to browser from Arc to Vivaldi 8.0, finding its new design both clean and customizable. It’s a promising step towards a more user-friendly digital realm.

This week also brings back The Mandalorian for space adventures with Grogu, Steve Jobs’ untold stories in Steve Jobs in Exile, and a fresh look at podcasting history through Age of Audio: The Inside Story of Podcasting.

I’ve also been testing the NextSense Smartbuds during my sleep, finding them surprisingly effective. Forza Horizon 6 offers an ultra-realistic driving experience, while Apple Shortcuts continue to evolve with the MacStories playground.
