Stuff to check out

For anybody who's looking for new things to try, I decided to make a list of software and websites I trust and recommend to anybody who's looking for something new. This list isn't very long and I need to add more, but feel free to ask for recommendations and I'll slam some here. I'm not exactly a tech support genius, so if I say to check in with other people and I point you to a support page or something, maybe it's best to ask there.

Software

Floorp Browser - You like Firefox? Used it before? Good, imagine it but faster. I cannot live without Firefox considering adblockers are going to die very fast, I don't completely like Brave and Chrome's extension store has nothing good for sidebar tabs, but Tree Style Tabs has done just as good as a job! Only thing is that Tree Style Tabs is a firefox exclusive, but many of the ROBLOX extensions I like are kind of buggy on Firefox (at least right now, but that'll change soon when RoPro v2.0 comes out), but it's a compromise I'm willing to make for now.

foobar2000 - If you were like me, you probably used those sketchy YouTube to MP3  downloaders and Windows Media Player. Foobar2000 is like the adult version of WMP, with way more features I find myself addicted to, as well as it's superior customization. You want something? Somebody's probably added it.

Nicotine+ - Wanted to get into the Soulseek scene but didn't know where to start? Or you just hate the default client? Nicotine+ has been recommended by many people, myself included, and it's a great place to start if you're looking to just learn to use Soulseek. You could also go to SoulseekQT for the retro style, but... Nicotine+ just functions better.

RustDesk - I started to despise TeamViewer as of recently due to changes in how it started handling connections. I turned to look for the replacement and as of right now, this is the only good replacement I found. Has a simple mobile app even for iOS and while it might be slightly different from what you're used to, it does what it's supposed to.

Voidtools Everything - Get rid of the old Windows Search, you can settle for more. Voidtools Everything is a replacement for Windows Search that searches the whole drive a little more efficiently by caching what's on your drive, among other things. It made it much easier to find files rather than just click around blindly hoping you find it.

Directory Opus (paid) - Windows Explorer is kind of quirky, and that's why I have Directory Opus. It can work with Voidtools Everything for windows search, among other features, like custom colors for explorer windows, folder favorites, and a lot more I can't explain just in one blog post.

Explorer++ - If you're too lazy to throw cash for Directory Opus or just can't afford it right now, Explorer++ is a good free alternative. It won't feel remotely the same but may be easier to get into.

Websites

Winamp Skin Museum - Built off the project Webamp, the Winamp Skin Museum is an interactive Winamp Skin collection in your browser! It has a bunch of obscure and common Winamp skins alike and it's a little something for your Nostalgia toolkit. It really does whip the Llama's ass!
