Based on Chrome‘s open-source components (Chromium), but with real-browser functionality added.

Spectacular. It has all the pieces missing from Chrome. I’d strongly consider switching to it from Pale Moon if it had proper ScrapBook X support.

A cross-platform open-source animation program.

I didn’t want to deal with Blender, so I checked this out for simple animations. So far, so good. Even at a glance it could have been done far better, but maybe I can make do.

A desktop / launcher thing.

Too annoying to get working.

From the author of Slax, who (as of 2017-10-04) apparently abandoned that project but has the time to make this one. Sigh.

An amazing (and amazingly-expensive) DVD ripper. Can work with other disks.

I’ve used this to back up my old DVD discs into .iso files.
