I just watched 20 minutes on the gardening channel and learned a bunch that I never would have seen with the YouTube algorithm, and wouldn’t have thought of to search for.

Had the same issue with slow file explorer in Windows 10. A couple of things helped a bit, such as disabling "Show recently used files" and "Show frequently used folders". I also cleaned up the Quick access list. For some reason if you have a network share there it makes browsing local dirs slower, go figure. It's still not instant but a lot faster than the 3+ second delay.
I tried OneCommander and they're super fast, so it's not something slowing down disk IO, it's purely File Explorer.
Now I'm still struggling with closing chrome tabs being super slow sometimes.
I was about to do exactly what OP did and create a chrome extension when I found karakeep which saved me from doing that. I really like the full archive because sites disappear all the time, and screenshots for a visual overview. Used to use pinboard but didn't like that archive feature was a subscription. It also works with SingleFile to archive logged-in sites.
Good catch on mentioning singlefile, I use it but I dont think about it much since it's such a background 'thing'. Havent really dug into it's usage beyond feeding pages over but seems like its got a ton of use cases.
Even after 40 years of battle-hardening, it has had buffer overflow and double free vulnerabilities discovered recently, which Rust protects against. sudoedit one was pretty bad. https://www.sudo.ws/security/advisories/
It's funny that converting the first example to the second is a common thing a compiler does, Static single assignment [0], to make various optimizations easier to reason about.
