Browsing

A good choice of browser these day is Google Chrome. It is very fast, light weight and good looking, and the only browser not hacked at the hacker competition in Canada this year. There are also huge amounts of plugins available.

Lastpass

Even the best of us forget passwords from time to time; never do that again with Lastpass. Lastpass is a free application that generates and stores your passwords in one place; it also remembers all the sites that you visit and fills the correct password to that site when you revisit. You only have to remember one password from now on.
