Great programs
Amazing video👍
ShareX has a ton of functionality but last time I checked it also seemed to do a great deal of 'spying' on my activities. I personally prefer Greenshot (which also does a bit of spying) but nothing like what I saw with ShareX. I mean to be honest, pretty much everything spies on us today anyway so if you are comfortable with that then it probably is a moot point.
Well done, Brett, as usual.
I had Devinci Resolve. But I had to delete it as it wouldn't start up because it gave me a message saying "I must update my graphics card." I'm now on VSDC
Thank you very much, your videos are precise and insightful
Free & open source software rocks 2023!
Google Chrome is everything but "barebones" and "lacking in features found in most browsers" — it has so many features over the years it's become a resource hog, and many of those features are so good other browsers copied them (or made their own version) . 🤣🤣
Pot player or vlc?
Thanks!
Vivaldi is an enormous CPU hog that would have the fans on my laptop going nuts. I switched to Edge and my computer feels brand new again. I've found SMPlayer to be better than VLC too.
Are you able to do a video on the features of recent Windows 11 update, also a "how to" on Power Toys please…
Great stuff. I know because I use a few of these LOL.
Thanks Brett. 🙂
Yo Brett, love this vid! 🙌🔥 Totally agree with your picks, but have you heard of MsgEasy for YouTube? It's a game-changer for keeping up with all these comments!
Nice video but I prefer SMPlayer instead VLC and Free Download Manger instead qTorrent.
9:05 😅 Can't disagree with that! Great video and recommendations! 😎✌️
I've tried thunderbird and i can't ever get it to work with hotmail at all
VLC is buggy, bloated and caused Linux to crash for some of us. The bloated extra features require a guide to use and are better left to other programs like avidemux. -So why no mention of MPV?
Brett, do a review or at least mention download manager if you ever made another "must have free open source sofrware" like [Free Download Manager] and [Motrix Download Manager]
Vmware Player or Vmware Fusion for personal use only, free Windows Linux and macOS
I am paid a Vmware user, but before I used personal Vmware Fusion free
As usual, terrific program recommendations from Brett! Yet another video that I have to share with friends & family! Thanks Brett! 👍👍
The usual suspects are all here, but there are enough new things thrown in to make this video great as always.
thank you 🙂
