Probably the most important program on any modern PC is the browser. However, it is not done if you want to make your computer fit for the main Internet tasks. Here are our recommendations for free tools from the topic area “Internet & Browser.”
Chrome: Google's gateway to the Internet
The success of Google Chrome since its release in 2008 is considerable. With high speed, automatic and fast security updates, and a wide range of browser extensions, Chrome was able to leave behind the stags Firefox and Internet Explorer. Since 2012, Chrome has been the world's No. 1 (according to the StatCounter). With regard to data protection, Chrome is criticized for sending data to Google.
Firefox: the United States's favorite
Chrome is number one worldwide? Yes, but a village populated by indomitable Gauls does not cease to resist the intruder. the United States is this village, because here Firefox keeps the browser throne. Mozilla's open source web browser is constantly evolving, with regular security updates and numerous add-ons. Data protection users appreciate Firefox as having no usage data compared to Chrome.
Dropbox: Online storage for each platform
The Dropbox has established itself as an online store for many users. The dropbox software for Windows synchronizes selected folders or individual files with the cloud. In this way, you can conveniently share it with other users or access the data from other PCs, smartphones, or tablets.
Adobe Flash Player: Do not kill
The Flash Player from Adobe has been torn down many times - be it because of its vulnerability to security holes or because the HTML 5 standard has long been available for replacement. Nevertheless, many websites and online games still rely on the browser plugin. We recommend that you only run the Flash Player on trusted websites and otherwise block it using a browser addon. You should always update the Adobe plugin with updates.
The classic desktop messenger is threatened with extinction: Whether ICQ, AIM or IRC - the chat sizes of days gone by are becoming less and less used. However, the Microsoft Messenger Skype also enjoys greater popularity, not least thanks to its video and voice call capabilities.
Skype: The last of its kind
