Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it's missing fundamental things.

A straightforward and extremely powerful windows configuration tool.
Where configuring Windows involves digging through various applications and their menus, and editing the registry, by placing all the important things in one easily-navigated tool, configuring Windows becomes easy with this tool.

A top-down shooter game which uses music to generate levels.
Absolutely fantastic! HOWEVER progress is not auto-saved! Who the fuck makes a game where you can abandon everything you've played just by pressing a button too many times?!

Yet another DPS meter.
It can be made to work quite well. I especially like chat-tab integration.
Although it can be configured to be more simple, the fact that it's such a large/complex addon makes it vulnerable to breakage and not worth using.

An offline version of Khan Academy.
A free lightweight solution providing high-quality education where you need it most.
Though this software is unofficial, it is known of and approved by the official website.
disliked - because it has no concept of building a larger topic of things to work on, and showing an easy path to progress through them. Needing to pick through a large number of topics, sub-topics and quizzes and then manually and repeatedly going back into that list is inexcusably frustrating.
Once installed it's seen at http://127.0.0.1:8008/

A UI which displays a range estimate.
Absolutely essential for understanding one's distance to target, not just for staying at the extreme range but for staying closer than that in case one's target moves.
I place this overtop of Basic Threat Bar.

Press a hotkey (out of combat) to remember an assist target. Press another to assist them.
It sounds simple, even unnecessary, but it makes life so much easier.

Combines multiple little conveniences and opens up basic functionality that would normally require multiple separate addons.
The author has an incredible philosophy of simplicity and strict programming. This addon is created in such a way that each of its features is only loaded up if you enable the feature, meaning that if Blizzard breaks anything, this addon doesn't implode.
Absolutely mandatory.

Booting multiple distributions from a USB stick >
A tool for booting multiple distributions from a USB stick.
Very easy to use. Except it does not work!
