Is that what it is? Addiction?... Or am I just absorbing information as I would?

For that matter, is it a detriment that I sit here, scroll, read, investigate, research, find random topic I never expected and learn something new?

My phone's just a tool. Replace it with a book, and I'm still doing the same thing for myself, if it's out of boredom.

Nope, I have a lot better things to do than look at a tiny handheld screen.

Let me guess, looking at a large screen on a desk?

no because I only have one for work or certain things so its the same way im not addicted to facebook or twitter as I don't use them. Now if I had a smartphone options as different from a smartphone as the federation is from reddit, well then I would be addicted.

Looking at my usage, especially last Sunday, yeah.

Yes, I know, I tried both Firefox and Vivaldi, both had some things I quite didn't like, I keep trying them like every 3 months.
Sorry, I can't name them, I keep forgetting the specific issues.
