Abelssoft AntiBrowserSpy 2016

REGAIN PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET.

Many espionage features of common web browsers cannot be disabled by PC users – even experts cannot turn them all off. AntiBrowserSpy makes it very easy to control all browser settings: with one mouse click you can configure the settings of all your browsers and disable even hidden espionage features. The stealth feature randomises your UserAgent, so your browser fingerprint cannot be tracked backed to you. Meanwhile, AntiBrowserSpy allows you to remove internet traces easily, including history entries and web cache.

Toolkit: 4 Great Video Editing Tools

Kate’s Video Toolkit

There’s nothing too surprising in Kate’s Video Toolkit, but it does provide some basic but useful editing features. Trim files or join them, link two videos with a transition or create a sequence of videos with a custom soundtrack. There’s even a simple file format conversion tool. There are plenty of limitations, too (you can’t maximise the program window to use your full screen resolution, for instance), but Kate’s Video Toolkit is extremely easy to use. If your editing needs are simple, it could be a great choice.

Download link: Kate’s Video Toolkit

Avidemux

Avidemux is a small but capable open-source video editor that can help you join clips, cut them (without re-encoding) and apply a lengthy list of useful filters (add logo, crop, flip, rotate, resize, sharpen, remove noise, tweak brightness, contrast colours and more). While this sounds basic, there are lots of options and fine controls to help make everything go as you expect, and there’s an excellent online wiki that documents everything, too. Avidemux is well worth a look, if you’re happy to spend a little time learning how it all works.

VSDC Free Video Editor

Non-linear video editors can take some time to learn, and VSDC Free Video Editor is no exception (a lack of useful documentation doesn’t help either). Once you get past this fairly significant hurdle, it’s almost plain sailing as the set of tools on offer is definitely on par with the other free video editing suites out there. When you have completed your project, there’s even the chance to bring it to mobile devices or burn it to disc.

Download link: VSDC

Lightworks

If it’s real editing power you need, then Lightworks has the biggest set of features among the free pack. Its feature-packed timeline, strong multicam support, realtime effects and smart trimming tools are so impressive, in fact, that the program has regularly been used to help produce top Hollywood movies such as Mission Impossible and Batman.

Inkscape

Vector graphics have advantages over bitmaps: specifically, you can blow them up to any size without losing quality because they’re comprised of individual linked points, instead of pixels. Inkscape isn’t the easiest application to master, but if you want to create vector graphics there’s no better free solution.

FileZilla

FTP is an internet protocol (similar to the HTTP you see in your web addresses) focused specifically on file transfers.
