Reviewed OpenSubtitles.orgI appreciate the service, but I don't appreciate the runaround the service gives me with the request to log in in order to use their subs. It is the case with VLC and IINA and Submarine. Only if it would work, which unfortunately it doesn't. By the way, who would use the same browser identity in the time of VPN and fight for their privacy anyway?
Reviewed MinitubeI am glad that is working and open source. I would not go and call it "Freemium". It's just time trial, which gives you about 5-10 min of uninterrupted usage.
- Can display related searches.
- There is no top menu-player for Mac and the mini player is just a small window that needs to be minimized, which makes the Minitube a Minimizetube ;)
Reviewed KakuUnless I am mistaken, you can't find anything that you want. It just loads popular content according to the country you've selected.
Downvoted a comment on uGet as an alternative to Free Download ManagerIt can download files from internet.

- Liked BetterZip
Commented on Bandizip"free" is not actually free. costs around 18 scraps. at least for mac it does. WinZip would be a better alternative for it can look into the archives before and unzipping anything.

Reviewed Mozilla FirefoxDon't remember if reviews here are editable or not, I'll write with tbu in mind.
Why the Browser is good is up to you to decide. Alternatives are lined up in any case.
About the bads (1. the bugs are probably interchangeable, you'd have to test, 2. could be true due to my configuration, but I do not use just one machine)
WIN:
- Bookmarks import crashes the FF with attribution of GBs of RAM to one of the FFs processes
- sometimes hogs the system
MAC:
- Start of FF is a bit...

Reviewed AnyToISO(Mac, bin file) Very straight forward and simple enough. PowerISO is via command line and Toast just refuses to convert .bin to e.g. iso. Thanks devs!
Upvoted a comment on MEGAFor users seeking a stable, reliable, end-to-end encrypted file storage/sync service, Mega is probably a bad choice in the long run.
Firstly, it is a constant controversy magnet: from Kim DotCom (the founder) getting ousted and then making allegations against the service he created, to the discovery of [fundamental security...
