Your computer, without the computer
We use many apps on our computer, which we are familiar with, on a day to day basis. When travelling or when we do not have access to our own computer, it becomes inconvenient to use another app on someone else’s machine. E.g. if we are accustomed to using Google Chrome as our browser and we do not have access to the same elsewhere, it could be disconcerting and painful to use another browser. That is where Portable Apps come in.
The PortableApps.com Platform™ is a full-featured portable software system that ties all your portable apps together and lets you build your own custom portable app suite for use in your synced cloud folder, on your local PC, or on a portable USB drive. And it is kept separate from your local apps. The PortableApps.com Platform is 100% Free. Free to use. Free to share. And fully open source.
What it does is that it creates an entire suite of commonly used apps, in compressed form which you can save to your pen-drive, USB drive or on the cloud. Whenever you need to use these apps, you may use them directly off the USB drive or the Cloud without having the need to install them on the local machine.

Over a period of time, we tend to accumulate a lot of duplicate files on our computers. The duplicates not only hog our disk space but also reduce the speed of our access to our hard drive.

Duplicate Cleaner does just what it says. It scans our hard disk and identifies all the duplicate files in a single folder or in multiple folders. You can then choose to quarantine the duplicates or just send them to the recycle bin directly. It is that simple!

To instal Duplicates Cleaner, just go to the Microsoft Store and Search for Duplicates Cleaner. There are many out there, so look for the one with the icon displayed here. Click on Get and it will be downloaded and installed on your system. Be sure to run through the settings to optimize your cleaning the way you want it and you are good to go!

There is a free version and a paid version for advanced features. But for most of the time, the free version has worked for me, so no need to go for the paid version.

Fakespot is an AI tool that helps you detect fake reviews and scams. It is a Chrome Extension which needs to be installed one-time. The extension is free to use.

Whenever you visit shopping websites like Amazon, eBay, etc., you come across the (star) ratings for each product. Many times the ratings may not be genuine and may be inspired by the seller or the manufacturer to promote the product concerned. Fakespot immediately analyses the ratings, identifies the fakes and comes up with its own genuine rating for each product. It goes a step further – it also analyses the thousands of reviews, drops the chaff from the grain and gives you a brief summary of the Pros and Cons based on AI.

In addition, it quickly shops around for you and will also suggest you the best and genuine deals available on that site, for the product you are looking for.

If you do a lot of shopping online, you cannot afford to miss Fakespot – it could be a lifesaver!  Fakespot is available on iOS, Android, Safari and Firefox also.
