    Install this instead of vanilla Scratch. I did one day when I wanted to fck around in Scratch and I may even open this app again someday, who knows.

    Momma always said to use protection. Install this if you like having the option to not open application links sometimes if you do not feel like it. Free security buff.

    Pretty much a drop-in replacement for Google Chrome. Great browser for Chromium stuff, as long as you remove all the in-your-face crypto ads. I will switch back to using this browser as my default because it has great features in addition to the privacy things. Ad technology these days is vicious and predatory.

  5. Use this instead of regular firefox. It has more features and is blue and blue is a pretty color. If you are a web developer, it is great because it makes the debugging experience better, and all you have to do to get it is install this version of Firefox instead.

  6. In my very correct and unbiased opinion, the best, most balanced image editor for Windows platforms. Oh yeah also you can edit cursor files on it too, that's kinda nifty I guess.

    Great image editor for anyone wanting a FOSS alternative to RWCE. I like its lazy brush feature, it makes more precise strokes easier.

  11. PolyMC icon
     Like

    Multimc but with features that the community has wanted for ages but the team didn't care about. It is also more "open-sourcy" as Multimc uses proprietary login methods. Install the native version over the Flatpak.

    A very bloated electron/React app. If given the option, do not install this in the default directory because token logging is a real threat.

    I do not know why this does not come with most Linux distros that support Flatpaks. It is very necessary, and literally gives you a free settings menu.

  24. Install FAF. If you are on Windows, it will be relatively straightforward, and if you manage to get it working on Linux, you need to go outside and touch some grass.
