Editor’s Note: Over the past 15+ years, we’ve seen many Windows applications and browser extensions turn to the dark side. We strive to be incredibly careful and only recommend trustworthy solutions to our readers. Because of the increasing risk that malicious actors pose to open-source projects, we will be even more diligent with future recommendations.
