Notes: There are a few exceptions to this rule, but in general, you want to avoid browser toolbars at all costs. Superior Alternative(s): Not installing toolbars. They’ll change your home page, track your browsing habits, take up space, and offer you features you don’t want in return. Indictment: I don’t even know where to start. Use IE to download a more extensible, feature-filled browser and forget about it.Īpplication(s) to Avoid: Browser Toolbars Unless it’s the only browser that can load a specific web app, it’s not worth your time. Notes: IE isn’t horrible (in fact, version 9 has made a few improvements), but it always seems behind the times compared to every other browser in existence. Superior Alternative(s): Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera If you really don’t like MSE, though, you have a few other solid options.] MSE is lightweight, good at catching viruses and does all of its work in the background without bugging you. Notes: Ever since Microsoft Security Essentials came out, you hasn’t had much of a reason to use anything else.
Superior Alternative(s): Microsoft Security Essentials This has the added advantage of loading HTML5 on some sites, like YouTube, when using Flashblock would just block the original Flash instead of serving the new HTML5 content.Īpplication to Avoid: Norton, McAfee and other premium Antivirus suites Alternatively, you can uninstall the Flash plugin entirely and use Chrome’s self-contained version when you need it. The best solution is to install something like Flashblock, available for both Chrome and Firefox, which will let you load Flash only when you need it.
HTML5 is slowly replacing it in some cases, but a lot of sites still require Flash. Notes: It’s pretty hard to go without Flash these days. But it seems that no one care about it (yet).Indictment: Slows your computer, causes frequent browser crashes, hogs resources, drains battery, makes laptops heat up and much more. The best solution for this problem is adding image editing function to EOG. There is the same story on Ubuntu Brainstorm. Press Shift+C, Enter, Ctrl+S and then Ctrl+Q. So the only way for you to crop any single image is "Open with GIMP Image Editor" and wait a few second before GIMP shows up. Same as EOG, F-Spot Photo Viewer is just a viewer. No rotate, no crop, nor any editing function.į-Spot is photo manager but it also has photo viewer built-in. It can only show any given image on screen. Interestingly, only GIMP has the ability to crop image.Įye of GNOME is yet another simple & stupid image viewer.
Working with many screenshot capturing helps me know the fact that the only way to crop image on fresh Ubuntu 8.10 box is The GIMP.īy default, Ubuntu 8.10 comes with three image-related applications:
