3 cool things I thought you might like - #5
Tired of ads, messy email, and overpriced eSIMs? This week’s hacks include a hidden Safari button, a useful inbox method, and a travel trick that’ll save you money every time.
1. Safari Web Eraser – my “remove ads” button
I’m on Safari (iPhone + Mac) most days. Since last update you see a tiny magic-wand icon. I press it, touch the ad, and boom – element disappears.
Why I like it
One tap, gone. No need extra extension.
Remembers per site. Next visit still clean.
Less breakage. Page works normal, just quieter.
Not perfect (some animated ads come back) but for me maybe 8-of-10 banners never show again. Good enough.
2. Inbox Zero
My Gmail inbox was a mess. Too many emails. I do this to make sure it’s clean everyday:
5 folders only – Action, Waiting, Read later, Reference, Archive. Everything else = delete.
Timer 15 min at 16:00 – I clear my inbox. Everyday.
Unsubscribe fast – If I delete same email twice in one week, I hit “unsubscribe”.
Result: phone shows “0” most time, so I stop doom-scrolling email at night.
Pro tip - use unroll.me to get rid from all the newsletter or ads you don’t wanna see in your inbox / search for “unsubscribe“ in the gmail and delete all the emails that appears there.
3. Flying for a vacation or work trip?
If you're using Airalo to buy a new eSIM every time, there's actually a cheaper alternative. I found this site - it’s like a global marketplace for eSIMs. It’s super easy to use, reliable, and can save you a ton of money.
