People are being victim and facing troubles. So in this case, everyone should have to consider about privacy and security while surfing the internet and if you’re a Chrome or Firefox user then you are very lucky. Because these browsers have lots of helpful extensions or add-ons. By using them, you can easily make yourself as a safe person and can say confidently that no one can put you in trouble.

Actually, by publishing this article, I just want to increase awareness in people about online hacking or spamming and wanna force to people that please think about it. Try to be safe yourself and always attention, while surfing the internet.

So as I said in first paragraph that if you’re a Chrome or Firefox user then you are lucky because these extensions or add-ons. So some of the best, useful and recommended extensions, I shared below. Must try them and share your own opinions about them.

Extensions For Google Chrome

The most successful browser of the 21st century is Google Chrome. This browser has seriously lots of extensions on Google Play Store. So everybody can easily get and use as wish. Here are some extensions for Security and Privacy. Read reviews about them and choose your best.

1. PasswordFail:

If you ever noticed that sometimes when you visit any website then it requires to login your account. So, it’s a very risky moment and difficult to decide that you should login your account or not? Because all websites are not able to trust. So in this situation, PasswordFail helps and guides you to know about such websites that is this a malware site or any hacker is handling. Even any trusted website already hacks then Password alerts in this condition too.

I hope, by using this extension, you would get help and would be able to know about hacking or spamming sites.

2. View Thru:

View Thru is an active extension which alerts you suddenly when you open any malware site or any malware site opens and you don’t know about it. Bit.ly or tinyURL are such URLs which shows site’s original URL, when site opens completely. So, before clicking such links, you don’t aware that which site will open. You don’t know though, but View Thru knows everything about it. It knows that which website is fine and good for you. It helps to detect malware sites and guides you that you should open it or not. So must try it. Because this extension can safe you any type of big upcoming trouble.

3. Web Of Trust (WOT):

If you’re a regular internet surfer or blogger and you visit lots of websites in a day then ‘Web Of Trust’ is for you. WOT helps to make you safe as much as possible for it. When you enter in such website even you don’t know about it then in this situation this extension helps you and informs about surfing website. I know, any anti-malware can also do this work. But for that you’ve to download and install an anti-virus that may take too much time as compared with Web Of Trust.

4. AdBlock:

I my views, everybody should have AdBlock especially where kids use the internet. AdBlock helps to simply block ads on site and hide them. You know what, sometimes website admins place sexual related ads for attraction and money, that’s wrong or harmful for kids in teenage. So, must install AdBlock extension in your Chrome, if your kid, younger brother or sister surf the internet.

Extensions For FireFox

Not just in my views, we all know well that Firefox is the second best browser today. It has also best add-ons for privacy and security. So must try them, if you use Firefox as a default application.

1. AdBlock Plus:

AdBlock Plus is the advanced version of Chrome’s AdBlock. Although, both versions are very similar, but due to the some features on AdBlock Plus, it makes a difference between them. As I said in Chrome’s AdBlock paragraph that it helps to prevent Ads of the site. Nowadays, it has become necessary because admin of sites are placing such sexual and adult ads for attraction, so that’s why we have to prevent from them and AdBlock Plus will help to prevent them.

Similarly, if you ever download any software or application, so sometimes these types of ads also show download option and get attraction opportunity from this way. Suppose if a user click on it then two things will happen. First software definitely won’t download because it’s an ad not an option provided to download and second by clicking on this ad, you will be reached out to spamming or malware site which can easily put you in a big trouble.

So that’s all reasons to use AdBlock Plus. So please if your kids and your younger brother or sister use your computer to surf the internet, then install this extension. Because if you don’t do it then it would be very harmful in this teenage for them.

2. BetterPrivacy:

BetterPrivacy is a very good add-on for you, if you are a social marketer and do social activities on the internet. I’ll recommend this extension especially to the bloggers and internet marketer. Because normally bloggers and internet marketer don’t log out or sign out their account. Because they have to use them again after an interval of time. That’s why. So you know anyone can locate IP easily. So once the IP address located then any hacker will definitely do his illegal activity and try to hack logged accounts. So that’s the reason and this is why, we should use BetterPrivacy add-on.

3. SpamAvert:

SpamAvert and View Thru are almost same. Both work same. SpamAlert also alerts you like View Thru when you enter in any malware site. It guides you before entering in any site that you should open this or not? So that’s the reason and that’s why this extension is now must have extension for every user. As we know, the world of the internet is growing its foundation very fast. Lots of websites are developing nowadays. But all sites are not able to trust. That’s why we need to have a guide now and nothing is better than SpamAvert.

4. HideBad:

The Hidebad Firefox add-on offers a looking free for all catch that immediately close every open tab in your project and replaces them with your presentation page. It stops snooping spies from knowing which site pages you were basically surfing, which may be the most basic security measure of each one of them.

Final Thoughts

So guys, these are some very helpful extensions for both the most popular browsers, I mean Chrome and Firefox. Every user should use them for privacy and security. That as I shared reviews about them, hopefully after read them, no one would be doubtful about them. So try them and give your opinions via below comment section.

Which Windows OS Is Best? How Should We Choose?

Yeah! It's very important to choose right operating system. As we know, every operating system has their own features and useful stuff that help to make us comfortable and easy while using computer. When the history of computers started then maybe other operating systems popular. But at the end of 20th century, the most popular operating systems in my views are Mac and Windows. I know, Linux is now also popular in 21st century but these two operating systems, I mean Mac and Windows are still popular and a huge majority of us is using them yet.

There are different types of computers like gaming, office working, home computers etc. I hope, your type is in one of them. As I said above, it’s important to choose right operating system. Yes! If you’ve a gaming PC then operating system matters the most for gaming. Similarly, home working, for offices computers, low-end PCs etc also should have compatible and supported operating systems that would be helpful while using.

So basically today this article helps you to choose right and compatible Windows operating system. It may be possible that you’ve a home computer and you’re using against supported operating system. So, that’s why read this article and choose best for you.

Don't forget to check out! "Types Of Operating Systems"

Which Windows OS Is Compatible For You?

There are several versions of Windows OS has been released yet and Windows 10 is the latest one. So whenever Microsoft releases its new version of OS then also releases different series. For example, Microsoft released Windows 7 in 2009. So when this version released then it was released in different series like Ultimate, Professional, Home Premium etc.

Lots of people say that there’s no difference between any operating series. Just version matters. But I say, version also series also matters as well as versions. Yes! That’s important which series of Windows 7, you’re using. Ultimate or Professional?

If you’re a gamer then you should use Ultimate. If you’re a programmer or expert then Professional is for you and similarly if you’re a home user then Home Premium is best for you. So this is important to choose right series also. Same conditions also apply on other Windows OS series like Windows vista, Windows 8 or 8.1 and Windows 10.

How Should We Choose Windows OS?

As we know, the world of internet is growing very fast. So now everybody is using computer in his own different ways. Some people use computer for office work, some for home and some use as a gaming machine. So for all such categories, below I’m discussing, which Windows OS is best and compatible. If your type is in one of them then must read below.

For Home Users

Home users normally use computer to surf the internet, play simple games and to be connected with the world of internet via social media. So for that Home users should have such Windows OS which can be supported to all those softwares that every home computer user use the most like internet browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera etc), Anti-viruses, photo and video editing tools, skype etc. So, in my views, for them Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 are very compatible versions. Windows 8 and 8.1 are also good. But actually I didn’t recommend because sometimes Windows 8 or 8.1 create problems and bugs. They don’t support. That’s why normal users have to face quite problem while using Windows 8 or 8.1.

So here’s my recommendation for home users that use all OS except Windows 8 or 8.1. But if you wanna use them so you can, as you wish. But if you use another else then it’s better for you.

For Offices or Office Users

Office computers definitely use for work. These computers have to run just softwares or programs to do work. Otherwise, we don’t do other activities on them like surfing the internet, playing games etc. So for offices or working computers, I would like to recommend Windows 8 or 8.1. Yes! These operating systems are best for them. Actually, we need to run MS Office or other similar programs on working computers. So to fully support, no one is better than Windows 8 or 8.1. These operating systems are fast as compared to Windows 7. Yeah! Sometimes problems happen in them while getting updates, but these are better, if we compare to other.

After the releasing of windows 10, workers are requiring Windows 10 now. But I don’t think, Windows 10 will be supporting fully for them. Because there are some bugs are still in this OS that may be trouble full for office workers. So, don’t think about to install other versions. Install Windows 8 or 8.1 in your working machine and stay safe from all problems.

For Gamers or Gaming Machine

Oh so you’re a PC gamer. Nice to meet you man :D Actually, I’m quite exciting while writing this paragraph. Because I’m also a PC gamer. :D I always enjoy gaming related articles, when I write.

Well! Main point is which operating system should we use? As we know. Mac OS are useless for us. So definitely we have to choose Windows OS, but which Windows OS?

Basically, we need to have such operating system which can support to the DirectX, GPU drivers or other drivers easily also. Because time to time, GPU requires new updates so that’s important. Well! All operating systems are good for gaming except Windows Xp and Vista. But I would recommend Windows 7 for best gaming. Because I’m using Windows 7 for gaming since a long time. I didn’t face any type of bug while gaming or while getting any type of update.

In comparison with Windows 8 or 8.1 or 10, Windows 7 is much better for this activity. Yeah! I know Windows 10 also supports to the DirectX 12. That’s an interesting stuff of this new version. But as we know Windows 10 is released recently. So there are some problems still happening in it. That’s why I’m not recommending this. But if you want to use Windows 10 then must prepare or optimize it first after the installation. Recently I wrote an article on the preparation of Windows 10 for PC Gaming. Hope you guys will prepare first and then will use it for gaming. So If we talk about Windows 8 or 8.1 , in my views these are useless for gaming. Never choose them for PC gaming, otherwise, you will have to face problems, I won't.

NOTE: For PC Gaming, must install 64 bits version.

Final Opinion:

So this was my today's article. I hope, now you're able to choose right and compatible Windows OS. I know, my recommended operating systems may be against to your own thinking. But today this article is totally based in my own experience. I use almost all Windows operating systems, even Windows 2000. Well! I won't say about them more. You can choose your best. That's all. In the end, if you think that this article is helpful, so don't forget to share this and please give your views about it also via comment below.

Top 5 Reasons: Why PCs Are Better Than Macs?

We are all aware from PC and Macintosh computers. It’s 21st century, and there’s no any third type of computer that we use the most. Only PCs and Macs are popular now and people prefer to use them as their wish. Everyone has their own different thinking. Some people prefer to buy Mac, but some prefer to use PCs. Both computers have their own features and benefits. But here I’m gonna highlight 5 reasons ‘Why PCs are better than Mac?’

It’s not that only PCs are better. Macintosh computers have their own features which make them better than PCs. Well! Today my aim isn’t to write this article to hurt Mac users. If any Mac user says that only Macintosh is better or any PC user says, just PCs are, so it’s wrong. Both have their own features, advantages or benefits.

Macs Are Expensive

Yes! No doubt Macintosh are much expensive than PCs. Middle class or lower class users can’t afford them. If you go to the market to buy PC, so you can get latest one like Hp, Dell, Lenovo etc with 5th generation, 8 GB ram, 1 TB HDD, 256 SSD and 4 GB Graphics card in maximum or almost $1000. Even if you build your own manually PC then you can build easily in $1200 to $1500. But if you buy a Mac with same configurations then you have to pay maybe $5000 for that. So you can imagine, how much the Mac is expensive. Almost 5 times expensive than PCs.

If you didn’t believe that how much the Mac are expensive then see below image. The difference between them is cleared.

Mac Isn’t For Gamers

Yeah! It’s useless for gaming lovers. Mac is a such platform where you can do everything that we normally do on computer, but you can’t gaming on it. You can enjoy it’s built-in operating system games, but not reality-based games. So in this fact, PC is much good. It can handle highly optimized and high graphics games easily. In today’s era, no one is there yet which can provide better graphics than PC, even Xbox or Playstation can’t.

So, if you’re a gaming lover but wanna work as well as gaming then Macintosh platform isn’t for you. You should choose PC platform must. Otherwise, you are wasting your money.

Doesn’t Support To every Software

Windows programming is very similar to games. So the same is valid with Mac. There are lots of programs that Mac supports, but not all. Sometimes, Mac users have to face trouble while installation of any program. So in this situation, it’s very sensitive. But PC’s world is a blowout of free and shareware, free downloads that do pretty much anything. Normally, on Mac you have to need to change the settings to introduce anything that isn’t sanction by Apple itself. It implies the product all functions admirably, yet the decision is constrained.

Sometimes Is Risky In Security Issues

If you have in mind that Mac is the most protected and highly secure place where you can store your data feel free then it’s not true. Every device which is connected to the internet, never be safe itself. We have to make own safe and secure.

Yes! It’s right that Mac’s softwares and applications are more secure and free from any type malware than PCs. But not all. Most people think, there’s no need to use an anti-virus in Mac. But as we know, the world of the internet is now full of viruses and spamming links. So, no anyone else is now safe. We must have to need an antimalware and third party firewall applications to make our devices more secure and safe.

So if you think, Mac user is safe then it’s a wrong fact.

We Can’t Upgrade Mac

The most highlighted hated stuff is, we can’t actually upgrade Mac devices. PC users can upgrade their devices time to time as wish. But Mac user? NO. So in this fact PC is better and affordable for every class people even lower class also. So before buying, please be sure and confirm, Which device is compatible in both of them or Which device is affordable for you.

I’m not saying here that Mac is totally useless. You know what this device is still my dream. Whenever I think about to buy Mac then due to any issue, I’ve to burial my intent. So still dreaming about to buy it. So I’m now clearing again that both devices have their own features and benefits. But today this article is totally based on negative fact about Mac. So at the end of this article, I wanna sorry to all Mac users for hurt. :p That's it!

Should Have Apps For Mac OS X Users

Finding the best applications is sometimes quite difficult. So the people who are Mac OS X users and looking for the best apps for their Mac so don’t panic. Here I’m sharing my gathered list of applications that every Mac OS X user should have.

For Emails:

1. AirMail

Airmail app is a very simplified for those who are connected with the world of internet. The app is newly designed as Yosemite. It’s design and style very similar to the Yosemite theme. Basically, this app is helpful for quick mailing, messages, data uploading to Google Drive, Dropbox, CloudApp etc. If we talk about its visuality so theme is multiple and simple from every terms.

2. Mac Mail

Mac Mail is an officially provided app, as we know. People prefer to use this app, but not all. This app has several shortcomings and deficiencies which make this lower class app as compared as other apps. But still people use it and they believe that this is the best and trusted among all.

For Pictures & Images:

1. Inkscape

Inkscape is an open source drawing app with different and unexpected features. Some supported SVG features are included in latest version like basic shapes, markers, transforms, grouping, text, paths etc.

Further, Inkscape also supports creative common meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, postscript, JPEG, PNG, BMP and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.

2. Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop, who isn’t familiar from this app. One of the most popular and preferred application in the world. The latest one is Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. Abbreviation of CC is Creative Cloud. I use it also and so I would like to prefer this one to other users also. But, it’s not free. You must have to pay for it, almost $20 per month.

3. Pixelmator

This is another most innovative, fastest, full-featured and powerful image editing app for the Mac that has everything you need to create and edit your images. It’s very powerful and fast for Mac users. You can enhance and touch up photos, sketch, draw and paint, add texts and shapes, apply dazzling effects and do so much more. So get latest one version from official site, but you have to pay $29.99 for this.

For Writing:

1. iA Writer

iA Writer is a consummate application for writers and bloggers. This app helps to make your writing style more attractive and also guides while typing. It’s design and style very simple. It’s not a heavy app, so that’s why it doesn’t reserve huge part of your CPU usage.

So for a very comfortable and helpful app that you’re looking for writing then check out iA Writer and must use. Hope, you won’t need another app after using it.

2. FocusWriter

As I said for iA Writer, if you’ll use it then you won’t need to use another writing app. But a user don’t wanna try it then FocusWriter is second recommended app for them. FocusWriter is a very simple and plain light app that provides an excellent writing environment for writer which causes to feel comfortable while writing for every writer. This app is available for all operating systems including Linux.

For Privacy & Security:

1. CCleaner

CCleaner is a tool for system optimization and security. It offers to do free space from your hard drive and also helps to remove your internet cache, browsing history, saved password (if you want to remove) etc.

As we know, when we install any application or software then after the removing of it some files still present in the system that we can’t remove by using control panel. So to remove these types of files, CCleaner is an open source tool for every operating system especially for Mac and Windows users. It’s available in both free and paid. In my views, everybody should have this one great tool. So must try it and also recommend to others.

2. KeePassX

KeePassX is not very similar to CCleaner, but its work is great. This application helps to remember such passwords which are necessary for us like logon passwords, social accounts passwords, online passwords etc. So whenever if we forget passwords then in this difficult situation, KeePassX will help you and provide you password that you’ve forgotten.

3. Hotspot Shield

Hotspot shield VPN is a secure and capable web security for your mac machines. It pursuits your information sent and got over the internet and secures your individual information, including Mastercard data, passwords, downloads and texts.
