Tonibalas' Laptop config

[Ashu Kumar]

I installed Sumatra PDF, MS Office 2007 (on external HDD), MBAM, VLC Media Player and uBlock.

EagleGet Download manager:

I like the list of softwares you mentioned.

Sumatra Pdf reader is a great application for reading PDF files. (Foxit too is becoming bloated and takes much time in cold start.) and for other fancy features we have other commercial softwares.

Eagleget is another good free alternative to IDM.

I would suggest you to replace VLC by Daum Pot Player and ublock by ublock origin.

VLC sometimes struggles to play .mp4 files with serious lags in playback while sliding thorough the playing video. Well, it's a subjective opinion.

Daum Pot Playeris a very good suggestion i think.

After trying these browsers i am thinking of installing Cent a second browser on my system

I hope all of you will find these information's helpful

Thanks @tonibalas . Your information really help. (as usual)

I will try Cent, is a navigator who I had not heard. I recently tried UC Browser (beta) based on Chrome and it is fast as a bullet, but you know, I'm looking for a convenient and fast browser with translation and it had to use extensions, so I dismissed

Thanks again my friend

Thank you for the suggestion of Daum Pot Player.
About ublock i removed it and installed Adguard extension which is light and does a good job

Rcentely, I tested every single browsers on the internet (21 browsers) to figure out which is the best...
But I finally settled with Slimjet x64 I will never ever leave it and has earned the honor of being my default browser

Please check my post below to see it for yourself how great Slimjet x64 is
I seriously think "Slimjet" browser is the fastest and safest

It's a basic config and it works just fine for me and it's light on system

 

[tonibalas]

Forgot to mention what other software are installed in my system.
Revo Uninstaller Pro
Sumatra PDF
Shadow Defender
Bandzip

That's it as i said i like my config to be as light as possible

 

[Soulbound]

Curious on bandzip and cent. why you chosen them?

 

[tonibalas]

About Bandzip i just wanted to try something else than Winrar and 7-zip and from the reviews i read it seemed a good software.
I installed it and i am using for over a year. I use it mostly on Malware Hub section.
It's stable and pretty fast when unpacking, so far i am happy with it and no need to change it.

About Cent i wanted to find a chromium based browser because Chrome was a bit on my system.
I tried Slimjet for awhile but it was using a little more CPU than Cyberfox.
After trying some other browsers i ended it up with Cent which uses very little CPU and about Ram usage is about the same
with Cyberfox.
I really like Cent and the good thing is that it's being updated to the new chromium engine very quick.
And of course it's fast and very stable.

No login Password , not recommended; access to your system and compromise it will be easy.

 

[tonibalas]

Problem solved, i added a password when i am logging in my laptop.
Thanks @Umbra for the recommendation.

 

[tonibalas]

Small update.

Removed Cyberfox and NoScript

Installed: Firefox 64bit with uBlock and Ghostery

 

[Sr. Normal]

In my Chrome based, Ghostery and uBlock Origin crash, but not in Firefox x64. You have a very good config.
You know you are, for me, a point of reference when we speak about browsers. Then you can tell me, please, why you prefer Cent browser? I am using SlimJet. Thanks

 

[Noxx]

Cyberfox didn't run well on my system for some reason. That's alright, because Firefox native is getting better.

 

[frogboy]

A small change in your setup and nice big change in your avatar.

 

[DJ Panda]

I recommend that you reinstall malwarebytes anti malware as another On Demand Scanner.

 

[tonibalas]

@Sr. Normal i prefer Cent because in my system it uses less CPU than Slimjet.
On my system,on your system it could be the other way around.

@Noxx for me too Cyberfox wasn't working well lately that's why i changed to Firefox.

@frogboy i thought it was time for something new

@J Gamez065 i will take into consideration your suggestion

 

[tonibalas]

Update.
Firefox removed.
Doesn't let me open some pages like google.com and it blocks YouTube videos. Oh come on

Installed Ghostery on Cent.

For now secondasy browser will be Edge.

@Sr. Normal i forgot to mention i am using uBlock not uBlock Origin.
The reason is because i want a simple adblocker. For malicious sites i have KIS
