Depends on the kind of blur. Some kinds can indeed be almost perfectly removed if you know the used blurring function, others are destructive. But, yes, don't take that chance. Always delete/paint over sensitive information.

Source: we had to do just that in a course I took a long time ago.

Bitwarden 2026 Data Privacy Week survey results

It keeps my data in plain text files, integrates well with git and simply does the most things I always wanted a note taking application to do, when compared with anything else I have tried so far.

Yes, I would be happier with an open source application, but the first two are hard requirements for me, which already removes the majority of the alternatives.

On the other hand, I will never understand why anyone would use brave, given how shady the thing is.

"better" can't really be measured on that level, but if we go by success, then, off the top of my head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhael_Gromov_(mathematician) I admit I had to check, but Gromov is only one year younger. Works in the same field (complex geometry) and created whole subfields essentially by himself. With the exeption of the fields medal, he has won just about every prize you can win, most importantly the Abel prize.
