It can open the most common image formats (including JPEG, BMP, PNG, WEBP, TGA, GIF, TIFF and some RAW formats) and is extremely fast.
#XNVIEWMP TAB DISABLE ANDROID#
Firefox also has an Android version with support for these same extensions, which I use as my secondary mobile browser (actually, I now use Fennec F-Droid for better extension support).

I always change the settings to allow the right-click mouse menu on websites that hijack it. Other useful extensions are Greasemonkey and Wappalyzer. I use it as a secondary browser with the following extensions: uBlock Origin (with lists to avoid cookie banners and other annoyances), Bypass Paywalls, Cookie Remover, Disable JavaScript, LanguageTool, Wayback Machine, Push to Kindle and Checker Plus for Gmail. Sublime Text (see below) is a good shareware alternative. Visual Studio Code is a more powerful alternative, also open-source, but I find it too heavy and unresponsive (maybe because it's an Electron-based app). Notepad2 is also open-source and runs the same engine: Scintilla. After installation, I apply some changes to the default Notepad++ settings.įor an alternative to Notepad++ more similar to Windows Notepad (lighter, simpler), see Notepad2 or some of its maintained Notepad2 forks. By default, it adds an entry in the Explorer context menu during the installation, but that can be selected (or removed later with ShellExView). Do not try to open big files though, as it freezes quickly (for big files, see glogg alternative below). It includes syntax highlighting for dozens of programming languages and many other features, such as the ability to search recursively inside the contents of files in a directory. Part 1: Open-sourceįast and simple, it works well for quick editing text files. After going through it (and the comments), I learnt about a few tools (maybe 3 or 4) that I have now included here. This list was not inspired on Scott Hanselman's list, in part because I had only discovered it very recently. This list has been discussed on /r/windows, /r/DataHoarder, and Hacker News. I don't plan to add every app I use because some may be too specific (but some on this list are very specific too, so, I don't know, I may publish the criteria I followed later). I could have called it "an awesome list of the best applications and tools for Windows", but I am not that ambitious.
#XNVIEWMP TAB DISABLE SOFTWARE#
This is an opinionated compilation of GUI software I use on Windows, and it is work-in-progress.
