The net is a pretty big place, and it can take a while to get settled in it without help. Now that’s what am gonna do now, help you life a better life online.These tools i suggest below are sure to make you feel at home online!Just click on the logos to visit the sites and download the softwares.
Firefox
This is a web browsing application. It for the first open source software i came to know. When I tried it out, I was totally thrilled because of its customizability. There are an awful lot of add-ons for the browser, making it capable of doing almost everything online from listening to music to playing games. Since its open source, it’s also pretty secure and safe.
The themes are another thing that makes firefox more user-friendly. Since it’s not too difficult a task to make your themes, there are loads of themes in the Mozilla site which can be installed by just a click of the mouse.
Firefox is a must-have app for any one who wishes to make the best out of the web. I’ll soon be posting a list of great add-ons to make the experience even better. Meanwhile, be sure to try out the browser, and check out their extension sites.
CCleaner
Short for Crap Cleaner, its the best junk scrapper there is! I’ve been using it for a long long time now, and its pretty slick and quick. Its also got some other tools like application uninstaller. It lists the deletable junk items in neat categories so that you can make sure you delete only stuff I don’t need [hey, now that's what u call junk! 
].
Pidgin
Formerly known as GAIM, Pidgin is a IM Client that supports a great many chat protocols. Its quite easy to configure, and can run on most systems. I started using this when I realized that I cant have my Yahoo! and MSN messengers running at the same time, and browse the net while doing some image editing work on Photoshop. These protocol specific chat clients are memory hogging, and slow.
The downside of Pidgin is that things like file-sharing, playing games, voice chat and stuff aren’t supported. But that’s hardly an issue, because we mostly use chat clients only to CHAT !
7-zip
Everyon
e comes across zip and rar files pretty often, if you’re a frequent downloader. But having used WinZip or WinRar’s trial version over a period of time, am sure you’d have gotten pretty annoyed with the recurrent startup screen and slow processing! The solution? 7zip! It supports most of the commonly used compression formats, and is also pretty fast. Nor does it guzzle up system resources. Add to all this, the fact that its executable’s download is less than an MB.
Now that was the first post, hope you liked it! Do leave comments and suggestions for more posts and better ones
