My favorite and absolutely essential Windows apps

A List by kurokoboku-image kurokoboku Created Jan 2019 | Updated May 2021 | 1 Like

My favorite apps, which I have been carefully choosing and trying for many years. You will like it if you are an advanced PC user, or like me, a crazy Computer Graphics fan. It also for you if you don't mind to listen to good Music, or, maybe, spend hours behind great movies, comics or manga. It also includes several apps for learning languages and a few apps for organizing more productive work.

    Finally, I have found a worthy alternative for Google Chrome. Based on the original Chrome engine it works as fast as Google and supports all Chrome extensions. The difference is that Brave ensures you with great privacy, which also includes bonuses like embed ads and tracks blockers.
