So, who should be interested in using Google Chrome? In my opinion, above all users searching for a minimalistic, very speed and fully compliant with all standards tool for searching the Internet.

Internet Explorer 9 is the next version of Microsoft’s browser. IE9 is a try of matching to the rivals such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Chrome, that are far more advanced than the previous versions of Internet Explorer.

What is new in IE9? Firstly, the new Microsoft browser understands HTML5 (not in all), SVG 1.1 2nd edition, CSS3, DOM level 2 and DOM level3. Some of the above mentioned (for example CSS3) are not fully understood, however understanding even parts of mentioned new solutions means a huge progress (in comparison with IE 8 and the older IE browsers).

The new Internet Explorer has also a completely new interface (simple, unsophisticated).

What is said about the new Internet Explorer? In fact, many users claim that IE9 is better than the previous versions of IE, as well as it works worse than Chrome, Opera and Firefox. So, if you use IE8 or older, we encourage you to use IE9, but if you have the newest Chrome or Firefox browser, IE9 will not match your expectations.

Opera is one of the most popular browers in the world, fully (or almost fully) compliant with the standards of World Wide Web Consortium, including technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3 or TLS 1.2.
Imediatelly after installation users have a powerful and reliable tool to search the Internet. Opera has built-in IRC client. Just like in Mozilla Firefox users can resume interrupted downloading. The Opera’s interface is quite minimalistic and very intuivite. What other options does Opera have? For example:

-a new File Sharing system

-Media Player

-Web Server

-the Lounge

and many other options, such as Opera Turbo. Opera Turbo is a very modern system that saves the transfer during loading sites (how? If we want, SWF object will not load if the user do not click it).

Advanced users may be interested in using one of the following additions: downloading videos directly from Youtube, new emails reports (in Gmail) or the option of translating websites.

RealPlayer is one of the best software in its class. Is enables users to download, edit and share or transfer various kinds of media.

RealPlayer enables users to purchase and download music on much more than 100 portable devices. ‘s history started in 1995 when a very basic media player (the name was: Real Audio Player) was released. After more that 15 years RealPlayer is one of the most popular apps in the world with hundreds of functionalities and being really easy to use.

RealPlayer can be downloaded and used for free. The only situation when a license fee is required, is when a user want to upgrade his RealPlayer to the plus version. In such a case he will be given additional features.

The lastest version of Real Player (Real Player 14) was produced in November 10, 2010.

What are the main Real Player features? Of course, above all it is really universal audio/video player, but notice also the following options:

-playlist editor

-news and intuivie media library

-Audio Converter (in the Premium version)

-a CP ripping option

-video downloader

-video sharing (users may post videos to Twitter or Facebook directly from the app)

We bet that every youtube.com user, has thought at least once „Is there any possibility to download this movie”? YouTube Downloader answers: „I am that possibility”!

YouTube Downloader is a useful application that enables users to download (and next convert) online videos. It is also able to convert selected files to the following formats: 3GP, WMV, AVI, MOV, MP3 or MP4. Notice that the program’s name „YouTube Downloader” is in fact quite misleading, because the app is able to download more that just videos from YouTube.com.

The app’s interface is really intuitive- in version 3.0 probably the easiest ever. You just have to find a file you want to download, then copy the URL of the page containing the video and finally open the program. The app will automatically input the URL into correct „textarea”. Then you only have to choose quality and start downloading. And that is all! YouTube Downloader contains no spyware or malware.

Free version of YouTube Downloader seems to be a near-perfect tool for amateur users. Advanced users can pay for a „Pro” version that gives new extra-options.
