  • MSEdgeRedirect

    A Tool to Redirect News, Search, Widgets, Weather and More to Your Default Browser

    • Once you realize Microsoft Edge is Evil™ you're gonna want MSEdgeRedirect as well.

  • SponsorBlock

    Skip YouTube video sponsors (browser extension)

    • For browser extensions, I recommend getting uBlock Origin, AHA-Music Song Finder, and if you're gonna be watching a lot of Youtube, SponsorBlock is probably something you'll like too.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • TranslucentTB

    A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent.

    • For aesthetics, I like Wallpaper Engine (4$), Rainmeter, and TranslucentTaskbar most.
