Well yeah, you need antibody https://getantibody.github.io/ and then whatever plugins you desire. Been using it for years and it's never been anything other than fast and reliable.

Why antibody and not any of the 60 alternatives? Is it truly the best among them or is your choice sub-optimal?

Thinking about that I realized I prefer not to use any plugin manager at all.

I mean it's not like I've done any formal benchmarks but like I've used a bunch of plug-in managers and antidote, sorry antibody is the old one, it's just so much faster than all the others.

Oh shit you're right it is actually antidote, God why do they have to name them the same things. Even their websites are similar.
