https://www.photopea.com/ is similar to pixlr. I prefer it.
At first sight: It borrows a lot more from PS (including the complexity) compared to Pixlr, which seems like it wants to be a mix of Photoshop and Illustrator, but simplified like Figma. Thanks!
As someone who uses Photoshop since version 6, I use both Gimp and Krita at work (because I use Linux there). Both are really quite usable and worth a look.
yesterday i ran into the fact that gimp has zero support for non-destructive editing (e.g. adjustment layers) AFAIK, which makes it a non-starter for many many cases.

Not a professional myself, but lack of non-destructive editing is the reason I don't mention GIMP when talking to professionals. NDE can't come soon enough.

Maybe for minimalistic UI design. But even there i would rather not want to work with a web tool (graphics is compute hungry).
For graphics design and artwork i‘d rather go with Affinity Designer.
My impression is that many/most UI graphics designers migrated to the web based Figma because it's a lot faster than the native Illustrator. A bunch of them went there via the mac-only Sketch. Shame on Adobe.
Affinity Designer (and Sketch) is indeed insanely fast compared to Illustrator, but it's also kind of isolated - the collab story is a lot stronger with Figma.
Is there something web-based that's a good equivalent for Photoshop?
I tried https://pixlr.com/ the other day. Is that the best one one in this genre?
