It is very easy to use and support many different databases.
It is developed by Vietnammese developers.
I also pay the premium version of it.

## Browser
### Microsoft Edge
[Download](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge)
> Edge become my main web browser since MS decide to turn to use Chromnium as its core.
They also develop very nice feature like vertical tabs and tab grouping.
I wonder if I should have a list of useful extension to installs on the browser.
### Firefox

> Firefox is always my second choice. It has its own unique features that I like to explore around.
### Google Chrome
[Download](https://www.google.com/intl/vi_vn/chrome/)
> Chrome used to be my first choice browser, but since Edge with chromnium comes up. I leave the Google Chrome as third choice.
### Brave Browser
[Download](https://brave.com/)
> Brave is the first (and only till 2022), has integrate the ad-blocker inside the browser.
> So that you can use Brave without worrying about the ads everywhere.
> Brave also has BAT token, a crypto currency that encourage users to use Brave, watch selected ads and receive payment.
## Social

> Since I knew about telegram (late 2017). Telegram always my favorite messenger app.
> It is fast and stable. It also has nice sticker and gif pack. It also has no censorship.
### Zalo

> Zalo currently (2022) is the most popular messenger app in Vietnam.
So that I use Zalo to connect with my friend and mostly my family.

### Popcorn Time
[Download](https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop)
> This software is very awesome to watch movie as it use torrent file and streaming directly to your computer. However you will need a strong internet connection in order to watch the movie smoothly. Also as it is using torrent, you will need other peers to seed it for you.
## Tools
A list of tool to make working with Windows is more comfortable.

But it is very crucial application to manage password so I want to mention it here.

### Windows Power Toys
[Dowload](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
> Windows Power Toys help re-keymap natively on Windows, I use it to remap my `caplocks` to `esc`, I don't use `caplocks` any time
>Windows Power Toys also has Power Toys run, trigger by `alt+space` which is very similar to Mac Spotlight. However, it is still lack of dictionary function (at the time I wrote this 21 July, 2022). I often use it in Mac.
### Adobe Lightroom Classic
