Best browser I've never used before:
https://www.ucweb.com/
(Works also with full features for windows XP 32bit, for embedded videos, etc.)

This is another alternative, still not tested by myself:
https://browser.yandex.com/
The world's first browser with support for DNSCrypt technology.
Also a search engine:
yandex.com/

Altap Salamander: Free Alternative to File Explorer (Win only)

Altap Salamander used to be a commercial tool, and recently became freely available:

https://www.altap.cz/

This is a tool like Total Commander, intended as alternative to Windows File Explorer. It has tons of features that make it a great tool for software developers.

It's also extensibile via custom scripts or Plugins — plugins are just DLLs, so chances are that you could make a plugin in PB too (if there are no conflicts with the C RTL).

Today I discovered a small but nice audio editor which is very well suited for the needs of many hobby users.

Ocenaudio - Easy, fast and powerful audio editor: https://www.ocenaudio.com/

This is not a multitrack DAW, but still a very fine, stable and performant audio editor with some nice features.

The interface is a mixture of Adobe Audition and the original or old CoolEditPro (who still knows it).
The handling is intuitive and almost everything happens in real time. Effects are unfortunately destructive, but it have a preview function (or pre-listening function).

- Freeware
- Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) Installable and portable version (portable but not stealth due to QT)
- Many audio formats are supported natively
- Markers and regions can be created
- resource-saving and able to edit really large audio files
- Waveform and spectrogram display
- VST plugin support
- A good number of editing functions and effects are available

On the negative side, there is no manual. It is an advantage if you are already familiar with the use of audio editors. For example, if you know Adobe Audition, you will feel at home, since the developers have obviously copied the Audition wave display.

For podcasters, music recorders or speakers the program is completely sufficient and offers more than you need.

I looked at 5 or 8 free audio editors today because I was looking for an audio software that is "small and light but powerful".

Unfortunately the Ocenaudio website does not describe the full range of features of the software. So I recommend anyone who is looking for such a software to take a closer look at the program.

what is the reason to use rapideuphoria 3.1.1 instead of using new(well, it was new some years ago) openeuphoria 4?
and purebasic can not win openeuphoria?

I agree that MPC is an excellent freeware, I prefer it by far than Windows Media Player.

MPC-HC has not been updated since February 2020 and its development seems to be stopped.
I prefer to use MPC-BE (Black Edition) a fork with additional options and which is regularly updated.

OpenEuphoria 4 is a disimprovement of Euphoria 3. It was created by some C programmers, who did not get the spirit of Euphoria.
Changes that would have been useful were not made, and other changes were made, that contradict the philosophy of Euphoria. During the developement, they even deliberately ignored expicit wishes of Robert Craig, the ingenious inventor of Euphoria.

To me, this one is better than audacity for example.
However i don't find a way to joint or cut .ogg files without recompressing.

I just tried the ocenaudio app on my M1 Pro Macbook Pro with the built in microphone and the recording gets a really weird crackling sound. That doesn't happen with other apps. Any ideas? The app looks nice, but I can't use it like It is now.
