Starting fresh

Recently I performed a clean installation of Windows 10 (which, by the way, I very much like despite not-so-subtle bugs creeping up a tad more than I'd like) and would like app and Chrome add-on recommendations. Whenever I install a new OS I always end up installing at least a few apps I've never used before. Sometimes it's by choice—sometimes it isn't. When it's by choice it's usually because an app I used on my former OS hasn't been updated in years and has essentially become abandonware; when it isn't by choice it's because the app isn't supported by my new OS, forcing me to seek out an alternative to what I was using before.

I've already installed most of the essentials I've been using for years, but along the way I've stumbled across the superb and essential productivity boosters Clover (which adds Google Chrome-like tab functionality to Windows Explorer) and Everything (a very fast file searcher)—apps I couldn't possible go back to not using now that I've used them. And this has got me wondering if there's great apps out there left to be discovered.

I'm not looking for anything in particular—I'm a geek whose willing to try out any pretty much any type of app—all I require is that it's Windows 10 compatible. Also, though I've a preference for freeware apps, payware app recommendations are also welcome.

To prevent anyone from recommending things I already use, I've compiled a list of most of the third-party apps I use:

To finish off, I want to say that Google Chrome add-on recommendations are also welcome. I only recently made Chrome my default browser and haven't spent much time on the Google Chrome Add-ons site so probably I'm missing out on some great add-ons.

Anyway: thanks!
