Brave Browser was made in 2019.

What does Brave Browser offer besides privacy? I consider the obsession with privacy to be an example of modern insanity. If you lived in a primitive village, you wouldn't have privacy either since everyone would know your life through gossip. We live in a world plagued by many problems, but privacy is not one of them.

It has a really good adblock built in and loads much faster than Chrome.

SaidIt is no better than Reddit was when it started.

They first started in 2006 but have been making music 2010+. Cage the Elephant is a kind of band I haven't seen since the Beatles, where almost every song they write is good, as opposed to one single on an album of trash that is common.

Cell phone tech is amazing. My phone screens unknown callers for me. Even 5 years ago I didn't have that. They basically eliminated phone spam (at least on the Pixel).

The wife's new car is awesome. Fish eye backup lense lets you see left and right behind you when reversing out of a parking spot. It knows where other cars are, if they're in the blind spot, if there's about to be a collision. Phones integrate to play music and navigate.

I don't think that's new tech, but it wasn't standard like this was. And I drive a 2004 car with nothing added (less to break) so maybe it just seems extra awesome.

My niece suggested iPad, they were made in 2010. I'm not a fan of Apple products and I don't know how it qualifies personally, but I figured I'd add it anyways.

The Nintendo Switch is pretty cool. Fun wholesome family activity. Red Dead Redemption 2 was made in 2008.

From a web search they gave ring cams, spaceX, self driving cars, Venmo, LED lights, and a few more I didn't agree with.

Although I am not saying you don't have a point that it seems like more and more of what we produce is inconsequential. I do also recall there being lots of garbage 80s and 90s products too.

Music is subjective. Cage the Elephant seems okay but I personally prefer a lot of popular music from before 2000.

I don't know what you are using screen cell phone spam, but I keep my cell phone in airplane mode because otherwise I am bombarded with notifications and calls that I don't want. I consider the old home phone much superior to the cell phone because when I received a call on that, it was generally a meaningful call, and otherwise the device just kept silent and left me alone.

I hate all the new technology in new cars that make them feel like mission control. I have never had a problem pulling out of a parking spot with an old car. Old cars are simple and easy to understand.

I never had an iPad so I won't comment on it.

Video games are just a curse on this world, wasting people's time and turning children into morons.

I don't use anything your web search returned.

I do also recall there being lots of garbage 80s and 90s products too.

I bet that 90% of what you use regularly was created in the 80s and 90s.
