Firefox. I couldn’t imagine using the internet without it.
VLC! No ads ever, that’s insane!
But does it whip the llama’s ass?
I think not.
- this is a really old Winamp reference for you younger folks.
Bitwarden and firefox
I don’t use it but blender is another one
I don’t know if this will show up or is already in the list, but: Rufus. I burn all my thumb drives for os installs with Rufus. It also lets me bypass a lot of the windows garbage that they’ve tracked on to the installer, like making you sign in to a Microsoft account to install. Also, Ventoy. It’s a multiple OS installer, so one big thumb drive lets me install any number of OSes from it.
While I’m setting up those OSes, ninite gets me my windows programs, and Snappy Driver Installer Origin gets me my drivers. No more laptops with pre-installed bloat for me!
Taking the opportunity to get on my soapbox and remind everyone that free software still requires someone’s time and effort to maintain. If you’ve been using a free app for a while and you and you enjoy it (and you have the means to do so), consider sending a donation to the developers/maintainers! It’s a good way to help ensure that the great, free app you enjoy stays great and free.
