Watch the companion video: How to use Java in the new Microsoft Edge

Some users may need internet artifacts like the Java browser plugin to run legacy apps that require it. The options to run Java apps are few and far between these days. Yet it is possible to use Microsoft’s new Edge web browser — the Chromium-based version of Edge — to run Java apps. Assuming you have Java installed on your computer, the only requirement is an intermediary in the form of an extension.

What makes Java support possible in the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is Edge’s support of Chrome extensions. If you are still running the old version of Edge, it handles the need for running Java apps in a completely different way. Although Microsoft has its own extensions library, you won’t find what you are looking for there. Edge users with Java needs must visit the Chrome Web Store instead to install the one discussed here.

Java in the new Microsoft Edge using IE Tab

One method to use Java in the new Microsoft Edge is to install the IE Tab extension. The “IE” in IE Tab is an abbreviation for Internet Explorer. Available for Edge from the Chrome Web Store, IE Tab emulates Internet Explorer within an Edge browser window. The extension uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine to display Java content (as well as ActiveX and Silverlight content). It is easy to install, and even easier to use. It is important to note that IE Tab works on Windows machines only.

Visit the IE Tab page in the Chrome Web Store. Click the blue Add To Chrome button. A dialog will display asking you if you want to Add IE Tab, accompanied by a list of functions it can perform. Click the Add extension button.

Once installed, the IE Tab icon in Microsoft Edge displays next to Edge’s address bar. Click the icon to open an IE Tab. In the IE Tab, input the web address of a page that contains Java content. In the example below, our Java version verification was successful. The page uses a Java detection applet, with the latest version of Microsoft Edge using an IE Tab.

Download Latest Version Of Java Jvm For Mac Version

Try that same verification process in a regular Edge tab, and a notification that, “We are unable to verify if Java is currently installed and enabled in your browser,” displays instead.

Java Web Start, No Browser Required

If you have the Java plugin on your Windows machine, then you have Java Web Start (JWS). The question is does the Java application you want to run use JWS technology? JWS launches automatically if you download a Java app that uses it (usually in the form of a .jnlp file). Check the Java app developer’s website to see if they have a JWS download link for their app. If they do, download it and save a shortcut on your desktop when prompted by JWS. Double-click the shortcut to run the app.

Also included with JWS is a Java Cache Viewer. Use Cache Viewer to launch applications you have already downloaded. Here’s how:

1. Launch the Java Control Panel (Control Panel > Programs > Java icon). Double-click the Java icon.

2. Under the General tab, click the View button in the Temporary Internet Files section to launch the Java Cache Viewer in a separate window.

3. Double-click an application listed in the Java Cache Viewer Microsoft word for mac free. download full version 2018. to launch it without needing a web browser.

If the Java app you want to use is not listed or does not launch when double-clicked, contact the app’s developer.

Thank you for visiting Tech Help Knowledgebase to learn how to use Java in the new Microsoft Edge.

Bitdefender’s antivirus offering is accurate and reliable, plus it’s absolutely stuffed with valuable bonus features.

For

Stacks of features

Easy to use

Accurate malware blocking

Effective multi-layered anti-ransomware

Against

May have some performance impact

Minor ransomware clean-up issues

Please note

This is our all-in-one roundup reviewing every Bitdefender consumer security solution for 2020. On this page, after our brief intro, you’ll find 

(a) a full evaluation of the entry-level Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020, along with our reviews of the additional features incorporated with the rest of the range: 

(b) Bitdefender Internet Security 2020, and 

(c) the top-end package Bitdefender Total Security 2020. 

(d) Finally, at the end of the article is our review of the free offering, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition.

You can jump to the reviews of those individual products by clicking on the links, but bear in mind that this article is really designed to be read all the way through, as the features of Antivirus Plus 2020 are also present in the higher-level security suites, of course. 

Bitdefender 2020 is the Romanian firm’s latest power-packed family of top-of-the-range antivirus and security suites.

The consumer range starts with Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition, a simple Windows tool which focuses very much on the core security basics: antivirus, blocking of phishing and other scam sites, and that’s about it.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is the first-tier commercial product, and as you might guess from the name, it’s crammed with useful security and privacy extras: an additional layer of ransomware protection, Wi-Fi security scanning to detect network problems, banking protection via a secure browser, secure file deletion, a vulnerability scanner and a password manager.

You even get the free version of Bitdefender VPN, although as that limits you to 200MB traffic a day, it’s only going to be suitable for the lightest of users. (But it could be worse – the unregistered version of Avira’s Phantom VPN restricts you to 500MB a month.)

New in Bitdefender 2020 is a Windows and Mac Anti-tracker browsing extension to detect and block a wide range of web trackers, maintaining your privacy and possibly improving page load times.

Pricing is fair, with a 50% introductory discount getting you a three-device, one-year license for $30 ($60 on renewal), and savings can be made when you add more devices and years.

NOTE: Bitdefender is currently running a massive 60% discount on Antivirus Plus (or click here for a 50% discount if you’re in Australia). That means the price comes down to just $23.99 (around £18) or AU$35 for the year for three devices!

Bitdefender Internet Security extends the package with a firewall, spam filter and parental controls. Webcam protection enables blocking unauthorized access to your webcam, and a new microphone monitor shows you which apps are accessing your microphone. $40 gets you a three-device, one-year license, rising to $80 on renewal.

At the top of the range, Bitdefender Total Security adds device clean-up and optimization tools, and introduces apps to cover Mac, Android and iOS devices, as well as Windows. That’s a major bonus, and it’s only marginally more expensive than Internet Security, at $45 for the first year ($90 on renewal) to cover up to five devices.

Some of these headline prices can look high, especially when there’s no introductory discount, but they’re generally good value in the long-term. Kaspersky Anti-Virus costs a low $120 to protect 5 devices for the first three years, for instance, but renews at $240. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus covers the same hardware for $150 from the beginning (even covering 10 devices costs only $180).

If you’re not yet convinced, no problem: every product has a 30-day trial build available. There are no credit card details required, just register with your email address and you can check out Bitdefender’s abilities for yourself.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020

Installing Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 is quick, simple and largely automatic. We pointed, we clicked, and within a couple of minutes a reassuring ‘Bitdefender is successfully installed’ message told us it was time to get started.

Browsing our system, we found the installer had added Bitdefender’s Anti-Tracker extension to Google Chrome, and Bitdefender Anti-Tracker and Wallet to Firefox. (Anti-Tracker also works in Internet Explorer and Safari, but there’s no support for Opera or Edge).

Get Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 for 60% off by clicking here if you live in the US or UK or alternatively click here for 50% off if you live in Australia!

Bitdefender had equipped our test system with plenty of new background processes, services, drivers and assorted other low-level clutter, too. That’s not unusual for an antivirus, but it can be a problem if it affects performance.

PassMark’s Consumer Security Products Performance Benchmarks 2020 Edition 2 report measured the PC performance impact of 15 top internet security products over 23 metrics. It’s just as thorough a test as it sounds, and the results weren’t good for Bitdefender, with the company ranking a next-to-bottom 14th place (Norton, Kaspersky and ESET came top).

Other tests are more generous. AV-Test’s Windows Home User report for December 2019 placed Bitdefender in the middle of the pack, while AV-Comparatives’ October 2019 Performance report ranked it 7th out of 16.

Our own checks showed mid-range results; it slowed down booting more than Trend Micro Antivirus, for instance, but boot times were more consistent than Avast. Overall, we suspect you won’t have any significant performance issues, but keep that poor PassMark score in mind anyway, and test the trial build carefully before you buy.

There was better news with our self-protection results, where we test security apps to see if malware can disable them. We tried closing processes, stopping services, unloading drivers, tweaking settings, and generally doing our best to break the package, but Bitdefender Antivirus Plus shrugged off our attacks and carried on as normal.

Interface

Launching Bitdefender Antivirus Plus for the first time fires up a simple tour highlighting key areas of the interface and explaining what they do. Experienced users will probably figure this out on their own, but it’s good to have this guidance available for those who need it.

Bitdefender’s nicely designed dashboard gives you speedy access to the functions you’ll need most often, with Quick Scans and the VPN just one click away.

A left-hand sidebar organizes Bitdefender’s other tools into Protection, Privacy and Utilities areas, and tapping any of these lists the various functions they contain. Most of these are sensibly named, and if you’ve ever used another antivirus you’ll quickly find your way around, but tooltips are on hand if you need a hint.

If the standard dashboard layout doesn’t quite suit your needs, you can customize it to remove default features or add new ones. Not interested in the VPN, maybe? In a click or two you could replace it with links to the full system scan, the password manager, disk clean-up module or a host of other tools. If only everyone was this flexible.

Overall, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus offers a polished and professional interface which delivers in just about every area. It’s easy and comfortable to use for beginners, but also offers the configurability and control that experts need.

Antivirus

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 supports several scan modes. Quick Scan checks the most commonly infected areas, and System Scan examines everything. Furthermore, File Explorer integration enables scanning objects from Explorer’s right-click menu, and there’s a bootable rescue environment to assist in cleaning the most stubborn threats.

A Manage Scans tool lets you create new scan types to check specific files and folders, as well as configuring how the scan works, and setting it up to run on a schedule, or on-demand only. This works well enough, although it doesn’t begin to provide the expert-level options that we’ve seen from vendors like Avast and Avira. Unfortunately, you can’t pin your custom scan type to the main dashboard, either, so it’s always at least three clicks away.

Bitdefender’s antivirus settings can’t match the geek-level configurability of some of the competition, either, but they’re well-judged and focus on the functions you’re more likely to need.

You don’t get intimidating and overly technical options to scan RAR archives to a nested depth of 4, but not scan TARs, for instance – there’s just the usual ‘scan archives, yes or no?’ setting.

But in an unusual touch, you’re able to control whether Bitdefender scans incoming and outgoing emails, incoming only, outgoing only, or ignores emails entirely. That may well prove pretty useful.

Default scanning speeds are decent, with Quick Scans taking around 15-30 seconds on our test computer. Regular scans started a little slowly at 25 minutes to check 50GB of files, but this dropped to under six minutes on the second run, and by the third run the scan time was just 67 seconds.

The scanning engine is smart enough to handle simultaneous scans without difficulty, too. If you’re running a lengthy full system scan, for instance, you can still run an on-demand scan of a recent download, or anything else you like. A window pops up to display the results of your second scan, while the first scan continues to run in the background.

The total sum of this is a polished set of malware-hunting tools which go well beyond the basics, but remain easy to use for not-so-technical types. Experts might wish there were a few more fine-tuning options, but in general Bitdefender gets the configurability balance right.

Protection

Bitdefender has a great name for protection, and its products regularly top the charts with most of the big independent testing labs.

AV-Comparatives’ July to October 2019 Real-World Protection report showed Bitdefender performing very well. The engine blocked 99.7% of threats (that’s 701 out of 703, to put it in perspective), placing it fifth out of 16 for overall protection rate, just behind Avira, Symantec, Trend Micro, and VIPRE.

AV-Test’s Windows 10 tests for December 2019 highlighted even better detection results, with Bitdefender blocking 100% of test threats.

No individual reviewer can hope to compete with the testing labs for thoroughness, but we were keen to confirm their verdicts by seeing how Bitdefender Antivirus Plus handled a couple of ransomware threats.

The first, a real-world ransomware specimen, was eliminated almost immediately, with Bitdefender killing the process before it could cause any harm.

The second was a custom ransomware simulator of our own. It’s about as simple a malware sample as you could get, but it’s also something Bitdefender would never have seen before, allowing us to evaluate how Antivirus Plus performs when presented with brand new threats.

We ran our test software, and in just a fraction of a second, Bitdefender’s engine cut in and displayed an alert. Not only had it detected and killed our test process, but it successfully restored the handful of files our software had managed to encrypt (just five).

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

We had some small issues with threat handling. Our simulator executable wasn’t quarantined or even blocked from running, for instance. We were able to run it multiple times, and when we manually scanned it later, Bitdefender marked the simulator as ‘clean.’

The company told us that threats are removed only if they’re detected by the signature layer. Ours was picked up by the behavior layer, which will kill an offending process, but not try to remove it.

Other antivirus software can go further, for example taking steps to prevent a dangerous executable from running again, and on balance that’s the approach we prefer. But this isn’t a major deal, as Bitdefender’s gentler approach doesn’t seem to have any practical effect on system security, as although we were able to repeatedly run the same threat, Bitdefender blocked it each time.

That’s a major improvement on many competitors, which either miss the simulator entirely or aren’t able to stop it destroying at least some files. On balance, we think Bitdefender provides very capable and effective all-round ransomware protection.

Blocking malicious sites

Bitdefender’s capable web protection module monitors your internet access and blocks malicious and phishing links. AV-Comparatives’ 2019 Anti-Phishing Certification Test showed Bitdefender blocking 98% of dangerous links, putting it top in a field of six.

To get some confirmation of this, we pitted Bitdefender against 233 brand new suspect URLs (malicious and phishing) provided by independent security testing company MRG Effitas. These were so new – many reported only hours ago – that they hadn’t all even been verified yet, making them a real challenge to block.

The results were very positive, though, with Bitdefender blocking 65% of our test links. For comparison, Avast Premium Security stopped 49% of the same set of links, while Windows Defender managed 30%.

Don’t be distracted by the low percentages: this is a measure of how quickly a vendor responds to new threats, not your overall protection against any dangerous links. The main takeaway point from this test is Bitdefender was giving us significantly better protection than others against even the very latest malicious sites.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

When you reach a legitimate site, the new Anti-Tracker feature should detect and block the most intrusive web trackers. Its Chrome extension wasn’t turned on by default on our test system, but we successfully enabled it in a couple of clicks from Bitdefender’s settings.

Pointing our browser at the newspaper site dailymail.co.uk, the extension reported a chunky 25 trackers in three categories: Advertising (20), Site Analytics (4) and Social Media (1). You can browse these, allow blockers in some categories if you like, or whitelist particular sites, but we suspect most users will just leave the extension to do its work.

If you’ve installed one of the big ad blockers then you’re probably protected from at least some of this, anyway. UBlock Origin blocked an amazing 73% of dailymail.co.uk requests all on its own, for instance. But Anti-Tracker still reported blocking a further 12 trackers, suggesting there are real benefits to running ad blockers and Bitdefender Anti-Tracker side-by-side.

Password manager

Wallet is Bitdefender’s password manager. Along with regular website logins, it’s able to store credit card details, wireless network passwords, application logins and license keys, email server credentials and details, and assorted personal information (name, date of birth, address, email, phone number(s), and more). Wallet is able to create multiple password databases and sync them across all your Bitdefender-equipped devices.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus automatically installed the Wallet extension on Internet Explorer and Firefox, and gave us the option to install it on Chrome, but paid no attention at all to Edge or Opera.

We found Wallet wasn’t as easy to use as top competitors like Dashlane: it didn’t add icons to text fields, didn’t always capture username and password fields as we entered them, sometimes failed to fill in forms correctly, and couldn’t automatically submit forms. However, it just about handled the basics, and is a worthwhile addition to the package.

Online banking protection

Safepay is a secure and isolated browser which protects online banking and other transactions from snoopers – or maybe even malware which has somehow installed itself on your system.

Many other security vendors also claim to have similar secure browsers, but Bitdefender goes further than most. Safepay makes real efforts to isolate itself from other processes on your PC, running on a separate desktop and preventing screen grabbers and keyloggers from recording what you’re doing.

This is a highlight of the suite and worked exactly as advertised for us, successfully defending against the aforementioned dangers – and once it was closed, it didn’t leave any trace of our activities.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

More features

A Vulnerability Scan checks your system for application updates and critical Windows patches, as well as weak Windows account passwords and simple Wi-Fi network issues. It’s a basic tool but still picked up a minor Firefox update and a Windows patch which had been released since Windows Update checked a few hours earlier, so it may be worth running occasionally.

The Vulnerability section also includes a Wi-Fi Security Advisor, which listed our wireless networks, told us more about them (encryption type, authentication type, password strength) and gave a security verdict on each (secure, or unsafe).

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 has a lot of settings. Most of these are best left alone (you can tell the package not to update itself automatically, for instance, although we wouldn’t recommend it), but they reveal a few small hidden features. If you’d like to keep an eye on your device security status, for instance, you can optionally have this permanently displayed via a desktop widget.

The highlight is probably Bitdefender’s Profile system, which enables customizing the suite’s behavior to match what you’re doing, perhaps limiting background activity when you’re running on battery power, or boosting protection settings when you connect to an unsafe public Wi-Fi network. This works well out of the box, but you can also customize each profile to improve security, save more power or otherwise work according to your priorities.

Final verdict

This is a superb all-round antivirus tool which does a great job of keeping even brand new, undiscovered threats at bay. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 is an absolute must for your PC security shortlist.

Bitdefender Internet Security 2020

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2020 has way more functionality than most antivirus apps, but it’s still missing some key security suite features. And that’s where Bitdefender Internet Security 2020 comes in, adding essentials like a firewall, spam filter and parental controls.

A privacy layer protects you from webcam hijacking by stopping unauthorized apps from accessing your webcam, and the new microphone monitor identifies all the apps using the microphone.

As we mentioned at the outset, pricing is reasonable at $40 for a three-device, one-year license, just $10 more than Bitdefender Antivirus Plus alone. That’s probably worth the upgrade if you’ll use any two Internet Security features, although keep in mind that this is just the introductory price: it’ll double to $80 on renewal.

Firewall

Bitdefender’s firewall works exactly as you would hope, automatically blocking incoming attacks, intelligently deciding which apps are safe to allow online, and which apps really, really aren’t. Most people can leave the firewall to do its work, never seeing any prompts, or having to tweak a single setting.

But if you’re more experienced in the ways of networks, you can take plenty of low-level control, drilling down to the rule level and tweaking settings for protocols, ports, IP addresses and more.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

Spam filter

Internet Security comes with a simple spam filter, which in theory should have automatically added a tab to our Outlook setup. This didn’t happen for us, and digging deeper, we found an Outlook alert reporting that ‘Bitdefender Antispam… caused Outlook to crash. As a result, it was disabled.’

Enabling it manually, we found the filter has only a bare minimum of features, little more than Outlook’s own junk filter (blacklists and whitelists, Is Spam and Not Spam options to mark misidentified emails, simple blocking of messages with Asian or Cyrillic characters).

This lack of control doesn’t seem to affect functionality, though, with our brief tests suggesting the filter blocks more than 90% of junk mails, while falsely flagging less than 1% of legitimate emails as spam. This was only a very quick check, but it suggests that Bitdefender’s filter matches the best of the specialist antispam competition.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

Parental controls

Bitdefender’s Parental Controls feature has a reasonable set of features for monitoring and controlling your child’s digital activities. You’re able to block websites by content, restrict application use, block device usage for specified periods (like bedtime) or set a daily limit of screen time which includes both mobile and desktop devices. Android apps enable monitoring who your child contacts by calls and messages, and you can optionally block calls without caller ID.

We don’t often pay a lot of attention to app review scores from users, but being rated at 2.1 out of 5 on the Play store, Bitdefender Parental Control’s Android offering seems like it might have some problems. We haven’t carried out a definitive review and so can’t tell you whether the score is fair, or not, but if you’re interested in the app, we’d recommend you test it carefully first.

If the baseline app works for you, upgrading to Bitdefender Parental Control Premium gets you several more powerful features, including the intelligent detection of cyber-bullying, aggressiveness and grooming, as well as requests for addresses, phone numbers and other information.

You can upgrade to Parental Control Premium from within Internet Security and Total Security 2020 for $49.99. Alternatively, buy both at the same time and you’ll save $5.

Webcam and microphone protection

A Webcam Protection module gives you control over which applications can access your webcam. This has more options than usual, with settings to block access to all but your chosen applications, block browsers only, or disable the webcam for everything. We tested this with our custom command line capture tool, and Internet Security correctly notified us that it was trying to access the webcam, and blocked it when requested.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

The new Microphone Monitor takes a more basic approach, raising alerts for apps which access the microphone, but not allowing you to block them, or set up rules to block all future microphone access.

This clearly isn’t as useful as it could be, but it’s vastly better than most competitors, who typically have no microphone-related features at all. We’re happy to see it added to the package, and hopefully it’ll gain features in upcoming releases.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

Bitdefender Total Security 2020

The top-of-the-range Bitdefender Total Security 2020 introduces a familiar set of PC maintenance tools, including modules to highlight large files, remove disk-hogging junk and optimize the boot process.

Total Security’s clean-up options are basic, with CCleaner finding 50% more junk files on our test PC. It’s a similar story with the Startup Optimizer, where Bitdefender gives you options to enable, disable or delay when individual apps boot, but CCleaner also offers expert-level control over services, scheduled tasks and more.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

The real benefit of upgrading to Bitdefender Total Security 2020 is you get apps for Android, Mac and iOS devices, as well as PCs. And although the new apps can’t match the power of the Windows edition, they’re are well worth having.

The Mac app looks out for malware and adware and includes Time Machine protection to keep your backups safe from ransomware. Top quality anti-phishing blocks access to malicious links, and the 200MB a day version of Bitdefender VPN is thrown in.

Bitdefender Mobile Security for iOS is mostly about detecting malicious websites, but it does this well, and that alone could save you from real problems. As a bonus, an account privacy tool raises an alert if your web accounts are involved in a privacy breach.

Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android includes everything you get in the Mac and iOS builds, and adds on-installation scanning for dangerous apps, an app locker to prevent others accessing your personal data, and anti-theft to remotely locate, lock or wipe a missing device.

You can get a lot of this functionality elsewhere for free – there’s no shortage of app locker or anti-theft apps, for instance – but as we discussed earlier, Bitdefender’s malicious URL blocking easily outperforms most of the competition. That feature alone might justify the install.

(Image credit: Bitdefender)

If you’re still in doubt, check the prices. A baseline Bitdefender Internet Security 2020 license protects up to three PCs for $40 in year one, $80 on renewal. Upgrading to Bitdefender Total Security 2020 protects up to five devices, which could be any mix of Windows, Mac, Android or iOS, but only costs from $45 in year one, $90 on renewal.

Covering up to 10 devices still only costs $50 in year one, $100 on renewal, and you can save more money by adding years to the license.

There may be better deals around, depending on the features you need. Avira Prime is priced similarly to Bitdefender Total Security, for instance, and although it doesn’t have as many security tools, you do get unlimited access to Avira’s Phantom VPN, a very valuable extra.

If you’re looking purely at antivirus and security, though, Bitdefender Total Security 2020 is an impressive package which is crammed with valuable features and functionality. If you’re looking for a new all-platform antivirus, it’s a must-see.

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition

Bitdefender’s security range is fairly priced, and relatively cheap if you’re covering a lot of devices, but if you still can’t afford it, no problem: there’s always Bitdefender Free.

While free, it’s a very basic product (unsurprisingly). The most significant issue is you don’t get the multiple layers of anti-ransomware protection (although the core engine will still detect and block most threats), but it’s also missing most of the extras you get in Bitdefender Antivirus Plus. There’s no password manager, no Safepay secure browser, no VPN, no Safe Files system to prevent unauthorized file changes, no vulnerability scanner, no secure file deletion, no Wi-Fi security advisor, no anti-tracker browsing protection, not even any support.

Bitdefender Free does include the core essentials, though – the main antivirus engine, and URL filtering to block malicious websites – and these aren’t crippled in any major way (meaning there are no catches like the app doesn’t scan downloads) to try and persuade you to upgrade. This isn’t some limited demo package; it’s a real antivirus which you can practically use in the long-term.

Getting started

Installing Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is quick and easy. There are barely any prompts or questions, and after we had handed over our email address to create a Bitdefender account, the setup process was finished, and we were ready to go.

Bitdefender Free’s interface is just about as simple as an antivirus can possibly be. There’s a System Scan button to check your entire PC, a box where you’re able to drag and drop any files or folders for a quick security scan, and a Settings button with various protection-related options and tweaks.

It’s a pity that there’s no Quick Scan option, which checks the most likely infection points in a minute or two, as seen with Bitdefender’s other apps. System Scan takes an age, by comparison, although it does get faster after you’ve run the first full scan.

On-demand scans aren’t particularly important, though, as Bitdefender should pick up malware as soon as it arrives on your PC. Bitdefender Free is undoubtedly easy to use, and for the most part you can just leave it to run in the background, watching over your PC, and raising alerts if anything dubious happens.

Protection

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition may be short on features, but it gives you the same core antivirus engine as the commercial packages, and we found it was just as effective at detecting and blocking malware and dangerous URLs.

The one exception was its performance with our own custom ransomware. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus detected and blocked this from its behavior alone; Bitdefender Antivirus Free wasn’t smart enough to do that, and our ransomware simulator was able to encrypt thousands of files. This suggests that although the free edition will block known ransomware, it might not be as effective in protecting you from brand new threats.

Although that’s not ideal, independent testing from AV-Comparatives, AV-Test and others consistently places Bitdefender at or near the top of their respective protection ratings, meaning it is one of the most accurate engines around.

What’s more, Bitdefender is significantly better at blocking malicious URLs than most of the competition, which may help you avoid infection from the latest ransomware (and other threats) in the first place.

Put it all together and Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is a capable antivirus offering which is good enough to outperform some of the commercial competition. But it doesn’t quite match the protection of the paid versions, and we would recommend upgrading to one of those, if you can.

Here’s what you need to know about the Google+ shut down

In October 2018, Google announced that it will be shutting down the consumer version of Google+ owing to insufficient usage. The company announced that it was too challenging to keep maintaining a product that could not meet consumers’ expectations. The initial announcement also stated that Google would complete the Google+ shutdown in 10 months.

This wasn’t too surprising to a lot of social media marketers and experts who had been anticipating the downfall of the platform for a while. Since 2013, Google+ had been experiencing low activity. While there were 1.15 billion registered users, only 359 million of them were active on the platform.

Stone Temple later discovered in 2015 that 90% of valid profiles on Google+ had no content. In other words, most users were not posting anything on the platform even though they had signed up.

After the initial announcement of the Google+ shutdown, Google later discovered that a software update released in November contained a bug. Since this bug was affecting the platform’s Application Programming Interface (API) and some of its users, the company decided to expedite the shutdown.

So instead of August 2019, it moved the shutdown date up to April 2, 2019.

What this means for you: Next steps to take

What does the Google+ shutdown mean for users like you? How will it affect social media marketers and businesses? But most importantly, what do you need to do to prepare for the shutdown? Let’s take a look.

Step one: Check your profile security

The first thing you’d want to do is make sure that your profile is secure while Google+ is still in the process of shutting down. For this, you can follow the existing steps given by Google to secure your Google+ profile. This involves:

Adding or updating your account recovery options

Turning on 2-step verification using security keys or Google prompts

Removing account access for apps that are not very important or secure

Using the Google Security Checkup tool to review and control which apps can access your Google+ profile data

Updating your browser, apps and Operating System (OS)

Removing unnecessary apps and browser extensions

Creating unique and complicated passwords and turning on Password Alert for Chrome.

Step two: Save your data from Google+

A lot of Google+ users created a profile just to sync it with the other Google products they’re using such as Gmail. So they never really published posts on the platform or used it to interact with other users. If you’re among these inactive users, you won’t face much loss with the Google+ shutdown.

But if you have shared some posts on the platform or made some valuable connections over the years, you wouldn’t want to lose all this data. Google gives you several options to save out your data, so you’d want to do that before the Google Plus shutdown. Here’s what you can do:

Downloading all your data

You have the option to download all the data from Google+. This will include data from your Circles, Streams and Communities as well as all your +1 data.The process is quite simple. You just need to go to the Download your data page and sign in if necessary. You’ll see that all your available Google+ data has been pre-selected as shown in the screenshot below.

Click on “Next,” and you’ll have the option to choose from different file types, archive sizes and delivery methods. You can have the download link sent to you via email or add all the data to your Google Drive. You can even save it to your Dropbox or your computer’s online storage drive. Select the options that suit you best, then click on “Create Archive” and that’s it.

Downloading specific data

You may not necessarily need to save all your data from Google+. If you only want to download specific data such as your photos, events or posts, you can narrow down your selection. On the first page, you can deselect whichever data you do not want to save. Even under your Google+ Stream data, you can further select specific data to save such as events, posts and photos.

Once you’re done selecting all the data you want to download, you just need to follow the same steps listed above to choose your file type, file size and mode of delivery before selecting “Create Archive.”

Step three: Update your social strategy

As a social media marketer, the next thing you’d want to do before the Google+ shutdown is to update your social strategy. While most social strategies focus on major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, some marketers also include Google+ as well.

Even if it doesn’t play a huge role in your overall social strategy, you still need to make the necessary adjustments so you can remain up to date. Here are a few steps you can take to update your social strategy in preparation for the Google+ shutdown:

Remove the Google+ sharing buttons from your website and blog posts, and do the same for your clients. After the Google Plus shutdown, these buttons will turn into dead links. So you wouldn’t want to keep them around to create a bad experience for users or add broken links to your pages.

If Google+ was a major channel to communicate with customers, you will need to replicate the same types of support you offered there through other social media platforms. This will ensure that prospects and customers can still seamlessly communicate with you using social media. If you do have an active Google+ page, be sure to alert customers in advance and link them to the other profiles where they can find you.

If your Google+ page displayed important information about your business such as store hours, make sure you have that information available on other social media platforms.

One of the biggest losses could be in terms of connections made through Google+ Communities. These communities might have provided excellent networks to market your products or services. If you own or moderate an engaged community on the platform, make sure you download your community metadata using the instructions given previously.

This will help you store useful information such as names and links to the profiles of members, applicants, invitees and banned members. See if you can recreate the same community in the form of Facebook or LinkedIn groups to maintain your connections.

If there were any posts on Google+ that performed really well, see if you can repurpose them for other social platforms. This way, you’ll be providing your social media audience with fresh content that is likely to perform well (because it has already proven itself on Google+). These posts can easily be incorporated into your social content strategy and repurposed for platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn.

What the Google+ shutdown means for Sprout Social users

With the Google+ shutdown, Sprout will also have some product changes leading up to the March 7 deadline. Here’s what users need to know and prepare for:

First phase – The first phase of the change rolled out on January 28. With this change, Sprout users can no longer draft, publish, queue or schedule posts for Google+. You can no longer receive new messages from Google+ in the Inbox, and you won’t be able to respond to or delete Google+ messages either. If you had any drafts or messages scheduled to go out after January 28, those would be deleted too.With this change, Sprout users are also no longer able to connect Google+ profiles in Sprout or collect new data on their Google+ posts, including scheduling new reports on Google+ data. Since Sprout has discontinued all options to conduct new Google+ activity, it should make transitioning off the network easier.

Second phase – The second phase of the change will happen on March 7, and at this point, your Google+ Inbox and sent message history will be erased, as well as past Reports data. Until March 7, you will still have access to historical messages, so make sure you download any Google+ data from Sprout that you’ll want to access later before then.

What else to expect

Although Google is planning to shut down Google+ for consumers, enterprise access will remain unaffected. In fact, Google+ for Enterprise will go through a few updates and improvements. While announcing the Google Plus shutdown, the company also announced that there will be new features to cater to the needs of businesses.

The platform has remained a valuable product for enterprise customers since it has helped co-workers engage in internal discussions and provided a secure corporate social network. So the company decided to shift its focus and adapt the platform into an enterprise product. Google will share more information about the new features and updates in the coming months.

Were you expecting the Google+ shutdown all along? Or did it catch you by surprise? Have you made all the necessary preparations? Let us know in the comments below.

New Post has been published on https://cryptomoonity.com/announcing-the-7th-stellar-build-challenge/

Announcing the 7th Stellar Build Challenge

Jed said in the first build challenge announcement:

“The build challenge is simple by design: it’s an experiment to find ways to develop services that are fair, affordable, and community-driven, and at the same time drive uptake of the Stellar network to maximize efficiency and reach.”

There have been six challenges since then, and many of the winning projects have become cornerstones of the Stellar ecosystem. The SBC is now a essential part of Stellar’s developer community, and here for this seventh edition, we’re going to return to its roots, by focusing especially on the “community-driven” part of Jed’s initial vision.

SBC #7 Goals

This SBC has two routes to an award, each of which embodies the ideal of collaboration in a different way:

1) make open-source contributions to ongoing projects:

We will reward new contributions to meaningful Stellar-related open-source projects. We’re looking for developers who:

 contribute new features and enhancements

 work on ‘help wanted’ issues

 expand project functionality

 improve the user experience

 even create or improve the documentation

In short, we want people to make a difference in an existing open-source project

Below is a list of suggested open-source projects to contribute towards.

function showThing2() if (document.getElementById('div1').style.display=='none') document.getElementById('div1').style.display='block'; return false; else document.getElementById('div1').style.display='none' return false;

Open source projects for Stellar:

div#div1 width: 600px; margin-bottom:20px;

SDK’s (pick your favorite language) iOS (Swift) – https://github.com/Soneso/stellar-ios-mac-sdk Python (Stellar Py Base) – https://github.com/StellarCN/py-stellar-base Gt/C++ – https://github.com/bnogalm/StellarQtSDK .Net –  https://github.com/elucidsoft/dotnet-stellar-sdk PHP – https://github.com/zulucrypto/stellar-api Unity – https://github.com/Kirbyrawr/stellar-unity Scala – https://github.com/synesso/scala-stellar-sdk Erlang – https://github.com/Viddi/erlang-stellar-sdk Clojure – https://github.com/xlm-sg/clj-stellar-sdk

Wallets/Exchanges StellarTerm – https://github.com/stellarterm/stellarterm Stargazer – https://github.com/future-tense/stargazer Foxlet – https://github.com/stellarchat/desktop-client

Ledger Explorers Stellar Explorer (steexp) – https://github.com/chatch/stellarexplorer

Other Stellar Kit – client web (Stellar Laboratory Alternative) – https://github.com/StellarKit/stellarkit-client-web BB-8 (CLI Tool) – https://github.com/tolitius/bb8 Twitch bot – Novabot – https://github.com/michael-luo/novabot Stellar Checkout – https://github.com/brewaa/stellar-checkout

2) develop one of these four new ‘cornerstone’ project ideas:

This is your chance to “collaborate” directly with SDF. We’ve written up the following four specs; this is what we most want to see built for Stellar. Take one of the specs and make something awesome. function showThing3() if (document.getElementById('div2').style.display=='none') document.getElementById('div2').style.display='block'; return false; else document.getElementById('div2').style.display='none' return false;

SDF’s Project List

div#div2 width: 600px; margin-bottom:20px;

A Better Quorum Explorer There are a couple Stellar quorum explorers already. But they are not collecting or presenting the info in a way that makes them as useful as they could be. Ideally you would contribute to one or more of the following improvements to those projects.

show a graph of the all the qsets of validators in the network

show which are up and show the dependencies between them

use real names for validators where possible

To get the data you probably need to modify stellar-core to write out to a DB all the qsets and externalized messages it sees.

A Trade Bot Maker Build an easy way for anyone to make a trading bot. It should be usable by non-programmers. I am imagining a web interface with a suite of different algorithms to choose from. Allow the users to tweak the parameters in many different ways to tune the bot right.

Provide various data feeds the bot can listen to. Prices on other exchanges etc.

It should be like Stellarterm, where everything is run in a browser client-side.

The server can save people’s bot setup but not their secret key

Consider allowing other programmers to add algorithms or other extensions. Maybe this is just by PR at first.

 Later versions could incorporate social aspects:

For example, people can name their bots and there could be a leaderboard of bot performance.

You could also allow people to run their bot for others for a fee or something similar

Social trading This is a way to make trading more social and fun. The idea is similar to what eToro does (note to eToro: you guys should just point your interface at the stellar network and save someone the trouble of rebuilding all this )

Build a trading app or site:

the users give it a name and a public key.

the site then tracks your trading performance.

It should show a leaderboard of returns over various time periods

you should be able to see the holdings of anyone on the leaderboard

you should be allowed to follow another trader

following means that the you will watch what trades they are making and mirror the same trades in proportion to your balance.

make portfolios that follow a mix of traders

this is probably implemented as a separate account for each trader you are following in the portfolio.

Peer-to-peer wallet

This one is the biggest and most ambitious of the suggestions. This wallet would facilitate peer-to-peer payments without the need for anchors. It could be used to make small payments all over the world.

Before Bitcoin, Ryan Fugger created a site called ripplenet. It allowed people to set borrowing limits for any of their friends or acquaintances. Say A wants to send €10 to C but didn’t know D. But A knows B and B knows C and C knows D. What happens is that A gives B a €10 IOU then B gives C a €10 IOU then C gives D a €10 IOU. Now A owes B €10 and D is owed €10. B and C are owed €10 but also each owe €10 more so their net position after the payment hasn’t changed. The final state from this chain of IOUs is equivalent to A sending €10 to D.

As these debts are settled with real fiat, the balances inside Stellar can be reset. Because Stellar is multi-asset you can of course also support cross-currency payments. What is happening under the hood is that for each of your friends you are making A) a trustline and B) an order buying their asset and selling your asset.

Now, a normal Stellar path payment can route your asset to anyone else that is connected through this friend graph. The app should also allow people to set a price they are willing to go into and out of lumens for. This would do two things, A ) allow people to settle their debts in lumens which will make that process simpler. B ) make it possible for lumens to be the bridge currency in some of these payments reducing the number of hops need to send money. This has all the benefits that it does with anchors but is probably more important here due to the much larger amount of assets.

Setting the lumen price is a little tricky because of the volatility but maybe you can just set it to some standard price feed so it gets updated often. These orders can also only be taken by people that either have your asset or are willing to hold your asset so it is much less risky than putting orders up on a highly traded pair.

Additional incentive to collaborate:

In case it’s not already clear, we want to make sure all participants feel like they are part of the Stellar community. Instead of coding inside of a black hole until the winners are announced, it’s important to discuss projects with each other. There are many people in the community that consistently provide solid direction to projects but don’t have the time to develop their own.

We’ve noticed and will be rewarding users that give great feedback on GalacticTalk and GitHub, this round.

Going forward, Previous SBC Winners Will Be Supported Outside SBC

If you’ve won in past build challenges, congratulations! Thank you for being a part of getting Stellar to where it is today. You helped pave the way — allowing new developers to be inspired by the work you’ve done.

We’ve always encouraged winners to continue improving their projects. That will never change. However, we’ve realized the Stellar Build Challenge isn’t the best framework for ongoing support. If your project is a previous winner or you are a member of the partnership program, do not submit to the SBC. We will reach out to you directly with further details on how SDF plans to support your ongoing success.

With this change, we hope to accomplish several things:

to recognize and financially support established high-quality work in a targeted and tailored way

to give a clear, goal-oriented, and customized set of guidelines to past winning projects

to create more space for truly new projects in the Build Challenge

to create more opportunities for new use cases to be explored and worked into Stellar’s network

Previous winners should review the support program guidelines as they arrive, and existing partners should discuss with their contacts whether the SBC is the right place to submit their project/platforms. For example, a complete rewrite of functionality, utilizing new libraries, for a refined use-case could be considered a ‘new’ project, regardless of whether it keeps the name of the old one. On the other hand, changing the name, but just doing a few UI tweaks would not be a ‘new’ project.

Submissions, Judging, and Awards

Participants can submit their projects for consideration, starting June 1st.  You should announce your project on GalacticTalk.org and submit your project through the typeform.  Form submissions will open on June 1st and end on August 15th at 10:00PM PST. You can start posting announcements on GalacticTalk today. Winners will be announced by August 30th.

Judges will consist of members of the Stellar Development Foundation team with final determinations by Jed McCaleb.

Projects will be awarded based on their merit. We imagine there will be a comparable pool to previous build challenges, but we don’t want to discourage submissions and effort. High quality projects will receive higher awards. If they’re better than average, they will receive more. If they are low-quality, low-effort – they will receive less. While we won’t automatically discount new projects, we highly recommend that submissions are related to the two categories shared above.

Be sure to spend some time reading over the guidelines and fine print before you submit.

Future Opportunities

There are some obvious changes to the format of Stellar Build Challenge 7. We want to keep-in-touch with our developers and offer more ways for the community to engage with each other. Hackathons, live streams, and hosted events should begin to appear more regularly. Our team is also working on a new developer-focused communication channel to highlight exciting indie projects being built on the Stellar network. Details will be announced via our Twitter and monthly newsletter in the near future.

We can’t wait to see what you bring to the table and look forward to watching the community come together to build something awesome.

your five Best VPNs For IPTV Within 2018 That Are Fast Enough To be able to Stream In HD Home VPN & Privacy 5 various best VPNs for IPTV inside 2018 that are fast enough to be able to stream in HD 5 best VPNs for IPTV in 2018 that are fast sufficient to stream in HD IPTV gives you access to tv shows over the internet. HD TV gives a premium quality picture and it is available online from quite a few TV stations. However , HD TELEVISION requires more code than frequent video quality necessitating higher throughput speeds. If you travel abroad in order to less developed countries, you may find the area internet service is not as fast as the rates of speed that you get at home and barely plenty of for HD. Online users in Europe, North America, and Eastern Asia are very lucky. The majority of the planet struggles along with slow internet rates of speed. If you want to stream the Ultra HI-DEF service of Netflix, you will need the transfer rate of at least twenty five Megabits per second. So in locations with good internet service, you might discover that, when channeled through a wireless router, your own home service is pushed in order to its limits in order to deliver the IPTV streams. In order to stream video over the internet and watch concert events in HD, then you really still cannot afford to let anything slow down your current connection. When accessing IPTV via another country, those long distance associations will probably be slower and you will find that international video streaming services block admittance as soon as they detect that you are internationally. A VPN may resolve the problem of getting around obstructions on international access to IPTV information. However , not every VPN service on earth will be good enough to stream HI-DEF quality video in real time. These are the true secret attributes that you need to look out for when picking a VPN service to access HD video coming from IPTV services.

IPTV buffering problems Although you could be used to streaming video at home or even on your mobile device during your day-to-day commute, you might not have encountered one of the main problems of online video admittance, which is the issue of international access hinders. If you search for Hd-video from abroad, you will discover that there are far more entertainment options out there than just the regular TELEVISION channels that you watch on your TELEVISION at home. The only problem is that those movie services won't let you access their particular content if you don't live in the same region as them. Even services that require some sort of subscription won't let you watch all their videos from abroad. So , you may think that these great entertainment streaming businesses have decided to lose out on a lot of possible viewers, just out of laziness. There are several very good reasons that will video streaming services restrict usage of their libraries by country. The two largest reasons are legal. Video distribution systems have to buy-in their articles. Producers of entertainment sell the particular rights to show their productions based on country. So , different TV companies have your own rights to show the same show, employing different countries. Broadcasting companies need to commit to restricting access to videos to those people located in the countries which have been written into the contract. In order to put in force this obligation, video streaming solutions block access from overseas. The second legal reason pertains to national broadcast licensing. Governments let only authorized companies to show amusement within their borders. Not only that, but almost all content shown in a country needs to be approved by the government. This rule implements in all countries in the world, not just tight nations, such as Iran or Dalam negri. Even though you may see the same show appointed for broadcast in different countries, it that is available in each place is unique. Broadcasters and makes of entertainment have to edit their very own content to comply with the laws of every county. In some cases, the show could be so far from what anyone is under legal standing allowed to show in a country that this just isn't feasible to cut out all of the unlawful bits and no one will transmitted that show in that place. Internet video streaming services can be sued, and its employees might be sent to jail if their content is shown throughout places where that edit breaches nearby laws. VPNs may get around these access restrictions. Therefore , even though the government of China will not want you to watch US documentaries, their efforts to block the steady stream of video are nullified by privacy protection that the secure protected VPN tunnel provides. Video streaming VPNs Not all VPNs will help you when you want to be able to stream video from abroad. Typically the technology involved in protecting video revenues, adapting the service whenever a TELEVISION SET service upgrades its blocking technological innovation, and providing adequate speed regarding streaming high quality HD video costs funds. Some VPN services don't actually try to get into video streaming providers that have tough access restrictions. On-line TV sites don't just prohibit access from overseas, but they also consider every available measure to identify and block VPN traffic. A VPN service that may be free or very cheap may seem beautiful. The problem is, they aren't any good. Just about every way that a genuine VPN organization could provide a service that breaks or cracks through access blocks and is competent at carrying HD video without charging. Many free and affordable VPN services are not being entirely honest with their users. They protect their costs and make profit by different means. For example , some so-called VPNs don't include any encryption, so that their advertisers are lying whenever they call them VPNs. Free together with cheap VPNs make money by selling the private information of their customers. Others put in paid adverts into the sites that will users access and allow paying entrepreneurs to monitor the activities of the VPN's consumers. There are even a few VPNs that ideal the internet bandwidth of their users then sell that capacity onto paying buyers letting other people route their targeted traffic through your computer. Even though you can get a list of VPNs from a internet search engine, just getting names of VPNs doesn't give you access to competent companies for HD video streaming. There are countless VPNs on the market and very few of options any good. It takes a long time to learn concerning communications technologies and test the many VPNs in the world. This is why we published this article about the best VPNs with regard to streaming IPTV in HD to avoing wasting your time.

However , none of them will be legal so far as we are aware. You may find it strange that numerous IPTV providers boast that all their systems are compatible with VPNs. As being the providers have already stripped out the local restrictions on the channels that they transmitted, you don't actually need a VPN as a way to watch those channels from beyond their intended country of send out. So why use one? The truth is that many IPTV providers buccaneer their channels from official resources and resell them to subscribers. Many of us can't vouch for or against one of the providers listed above, but it stands to reason that the IPTV provider shouldn't be able to offer access to channels cheaper than the stations themselves do. Nor should they get rid the regional content licensing constraints on content that all other loading services must abide by. If there is even a chance that you could accidentally stream pirated video, you need to secure your identity. That's why you still have to have a VPN to watch IPTV, even though you spend on the service. Specialists don't seem to be as tough on individuals who stream video illegally as individuals who download torrents. However , there is no make sure the same attitude will prevail permanently. Right now, the most probable risk that you simply face with paid IPTV service providers is that they get shut down before your own subscription expires. Net speeds for streaming HD video Depending on where you live and how fine your internet service is, you may face difficulty getting sufficient speeds to look at live HD video streams from IPTV services. Adding a VPN for the line will slow down your interconnection even further. HBO declares that you need connection speeds of a minimum of 3 Megabits per second so that you can receive an uninterrupted stream with its on the web video services HBO only fields in HD. Netflix HD avenues won't work with data throughput rates of less than 5 Megabits each second. These speeds may seem very easily achievable. Live streams are often much less compressed than on-demand video and for that reason require even greater transfer rates. A VPN can avoid blocks imposed by repressive government authorities because it encrypts all of your connections together with diverts them so that no one who may be able to watch the passing info stream, such as your internet service provider, are able to see where you are connecting to or the form of traffic that is passing down the line. The work that VPNs because of encrypt, decrypt, divert, and frontward all of your traffic has a time price. Streaming video in real time requires great speeds because you need all of the signal that gets compiled into a picture on the screen to be refreshed every single second in order to get the video to move about. HD video generates an even greater volume of visitors because the high quality of the picture is established by more tightly packed pxs. So , each HD video requires the particular fast transfer of a lot of files. If your internet connection will be slow, the video you watch may pause as the player waits to get more image data to arrive this is named buffering. The need for speed means that movie transfer systems don't include the link management procedures of many data transfer methods. This means that frames for the video may well arrive out of sequence or during irregular intervals, which is called jitter. The particular transfer might also encounter overloaded or even broken routers along the journey, leading to lost data. When this happens, you will see the video split up periodically. If you have a quick internet service, your enjoyment of online online video can still be ruined by a sluggish VPN. When you watch HD video channels that originate from a server foreign, the speed issue becomes even more vital. International video transfers have to go further and pass through a lot more routers than the journey of a stream from the nearby video service. More hops in the route provide more possible points of failure. For these reasons, you need a top quality VPN that can perform all of their transfer management tasks with little or no speed impairment. The recommended VPNs on this list are all top quality solutions that are ideal for streaming IPTV inside HD quality. Below you can see the outcome of our speed test of the several VPNs on our list: As you can see from the table, all of the VPNs easily exceed the 5 Megabits per second needed to stream Hd-video from Netflix IPVanish and PrivateVPN do particularly well and are quick enough to carry the Netflix Extra HD streams. Important things about VPNs for HD streaming If you are getting tired of observing game shows and talent opposition on terrestrial TV, then you may become tempted to pay for premium channels. Another choice to find great entertainment is to appear overseas. There is a huge diversity involving entertainment in the world and you might find what you never knew you enjoyed simply by exploring the TV of other locations. If you live overseas, you probably don't watch the local TV SET very often. Getting TV from home might be a great benefit and can help you deal with the difficulties of being a foreigner. VPNs overcome the nationalism involving TV. The amazing benefits of IPTV, receiving video from other countries over the internet, have been muffled by all the rules and regulations that block out your access. Thanks to VPNs, you don't have to be restricted to the TV that is offered where you are. Instead, you can reap the most effective entertainment from all over the world and watch what you wish. Remember, the leisure industry uses complicated technology to regulate access to their programming. Many government authorities of the world also deploy expensive and even advanced methods to control what you see. VPNs are at the forefront involving communications technology and those few companies of which keep pushing the envelope to deliver HD IPTV to their customers are the ones to look at. Take advantage of the money-back intervals of the VPN services on our checklist to try a few of them out to see which one works best for your circumstances.

Content Distribution: 7 Unique Tactics You May Not Have Thought Of

We’ve all been preaching it for years -- create quality content to attract and engage site visitors, but what happens when everyone is doing the same thing? (Which they are.)

At this point, most businesses know they need to create quality content, causing the internet to become beyond saturated with articles, guides, site pages, etc.

With all the content out there, fewer pieces are having an impact and fewer people are actually engaging with it. In fact, 50% of article content gets 8 shares or less. What’s worse is 3 out 4 of those articles will receive zero referring domain links -- zero.

It’s time we go beyond organic search and social shares in hopes that someone will come across the content we’re creating.

We’ve previously pointed out that you should only be spending 20% of your time creating content and 80% of the time promoting and distributing it.

Why?

Because you people sharing and engaging with your content in order to expand your brand -- and content’s -- reach.

Incorporating new content distribution ideas and tactics into your marketing strategy will help get your content viewed. Let’s take a look at 8 tactics you may not be doing today:

1. Email Signatures

Now, this is one of the easiest, but most underutilized mediums for distributing content.

Whether you’re a one-man show or an enterprise with hundreds of employees, chances are you’re emailing contacts multiple times a day. In fact, a recent study showed that by 2019, we will send and receive nearly 129 emails a day for work.

Including a link to your latest content or call-to-action within your email signature practically guarantees a hundred eyes will have the chance to see your content.

Tools like SenderGen and Sigstr make it easy to manage as well. Every employee can have the exact same email signature with just a few clicks.

Depending on which tool you use, you can then test and see which content receives the most engagement from your employee emails.

Consider updating it when special events or discounts occur, with new product announcements, or to promote the latest guide published on your site.

And if you’re emailing customers or prospects all day, kick it up a notch and include a video for a more personal touch. Wistia saw an 80% average engagement rate and 87% play rate when using video in their email signatures.

Though their example includes a simple hello message, you may want to use the video signature to describe your latest content piece. Test different things out!

2. Social Gate/Locker

You may have heard about gating long-form content behind a form to increase conversions, but try gating it behind a social sharing lock to increase shares and distributions.

As the user reads a high-quality article or content pillar page, they ’ll be prompted to share the page on one of their social media accounts to continue reading or even download a printable PDF version.

3. Join Distribution Apps/Platforms

Recently, I’ve been obsessed with Zest -- a Chrome extension that delivers f marketing-related content every time I open a new tab in the browser.

As a marketer, I love having curated content to the topics I want to read about delivered right to me with next-to-no effort on my part.

Agencies and marketers are able to sign up to boost their content and have it shared on the platform, which Zest claims will get 10x more clicks.

Try looking for a similar distribution app or platform that is related to your industry.

4. Curate a List of Sharers

Don’t feel like you have to do all the distributing on your own; call in reinforcements.

Creating a list of people you feel would share your content should be an ongoing initiative.

First, start with contacts you already have. These are people in your database who have engaged with your content in the past.

Then, create a list your content centered around some of your popular topics. For instance, articles that mention Social Media, CRO, Proving ROI, etc. This way, when you write a guide or new article related to the same topics, you can easily pull together those that already showed a previous interest.

Craft together an email like the sample below that shares the new content with them and ask them to share it themselves.

Hi, FIRST NAME,

It’s been awhile since we last talked. How are things?

I noticed that you recently read our article “ARTICLE TITLE” about TOPIC. What did you think?

I just published a piece related to TOPIC and I’d love your opinion. Check it out here: LINK

If you find it as valuable as the last piece you read, I’d love for you to share it with your followers or colleagues.

Don’t forget to tag YOUR COMPANY NAME so we can see your thoughts!

YOUR NAME

You can take the same approach with those you’ve met at an industry-related trade show or event. Reconnect with them to share a piece of content that relates to the event you attended or perhaps something you discussed.  

You can also go outside your current network and tap into influencers in your target industry.

Use Buzzsumo to find the top social profiles of people who share content about your topics. Then, reach out to them on social media and share your content with them. If they like it, chances are they will then share the piece with their own followers.

5. Paid Content Distribution Platforms

Putting some money behind your content will certainly help distribute it to a targeted audience. Tools like Outbrain and Taboola are solid options.

With proper segmentation in place, your content will hit targeted users as related pieces on sites they already frequent, like Business Insider or Time.

Another opportunity that shouldn’t be overlooked is paid social advertising.

With Facebook changing its algorithm so it’s even more difficult for organic business page content to show up in newsfeeds, it’s no surprise that 93% of marketers use Facebook advertising regularly. This means about 3 million businesses use Facebook to market their business.

As SproutSocial explains, “Running a promoted post as part of your Facebook strategy not only guarantees more eyeballs on your content but allows you to target your ideal audience versus hoping relevant readers land on your site.”

6. List.ly

List.ly allows you to curate and publish lists of content, either on its site or your own site. Find content your target audience is interested in and create a public list to repurpose and showcase it.

And don’t just include content from your company -- it will appear more authentic and genuine if you include content from other resources as well.

Users can follow your list, share it on social media, or even embed it on their own site.

7. Chatbots

35% of survey respondents said they would be inclined to use a chatbot when trying to resolve a complaint or problem. This is a huge opportunity!

Think of all the helpful content you have that could be shared with users when they are facing an issue.

For example, say a prospect is looking at the features page on your website. You can consider prompting a chatbot to open after they have been on the page for a few seconds, encouraging them to see how you compare to other industry providers. Paste in a link to your comparison guide and voila! You have another channel for distributing quality content in a timely manner.

Expand Your Reach!

If you’re struggling with new ideas on how to distribute your content, always remember to think of your target audience. Where do they live online? What are their researching habits? How can you be more helpful?

This will enable you to frame a strategy that gives you the best opportunity for engaging your audience.

Let me know if you try any of the above ideas in the comments below!

7 Essential Chrome Extensions for

Twitch Users

by Rachel Kaser

If you use Twitch — either to watch others play games, eat, or create art; or to stream such things yourself — then you have something in common with millions of other people. Twitch’s popularity has soared since its humble beginnings on Justin.tv.

But basic Twitch doesn’t cut it for a lot of people. The interface isn’t perfect, and the whole site is lacking in some essential features. Luckily for everyone, the Twitch community has stepped up and created their own solutions, in the form of Chrome extensions.

There are dozens of Chrome extensions for Twitch out there, but these seven are the essentials that will make your Twitch viewing much more enjoyable, engaging, and convenient.

BetterTwitchTV

We included BetterTwitchTV in lists before, and it has continued to be essential for anyone who wants to enjoy the full experience of Twitch. From anonymous chat options to a dark mode, this extension fills several gaps in the site that you might not even realize are there.Run a Better Twitch Stream With These Tools Run a Better Twitch Stream With These ToolsTwitch channels rarely grow popular by accident. Far more often, fame and attention are the result of long hours, innovative ideas, and tireless dedication to making quality content.READ MORE

For example, when you want to host a channel on Twitch, you have to use the command “/host channelname” in the chat on your own channel, meaning you have to leave the channel, go to your own channel, type the command, then come back to the channel you hosted. BTTV adds a big, purple “host” button right under the stream window that takes one click instead.

It can completely change your chat, much like similar desktop applications for Twitch that we’ve covered before. There are options to do everything from translate foreign languages via Google to hiding any chat messages from banned users. If you use only one extension from this list, it should be BTTV.3 Desktop Tools To Make Your Experience As A Twitch.TV Viewer Easier 3 Desktop Tools To Make Your Experience As A Twitch.TV Viewer EasierLet me introduce you to three third-party applications that make the Twitch.TV experience more pleasant for your desktop or laptop.READ MORE

FrankerFaceZ

One of the benefits of being partnered with Twitch is the ability to create your own emotes for you and your subscribers to use in chat. Channel-specific emotes are a great way to build a community, since it means that all of your followers will be — in a way — speaking their own language.

But the vast majority of streamers on Twitch are not partnered because Twitch has some very strict requirements for who gets a sub button. With FrankerFaceZ, any channel can create and share their own emotes by submitting them to FrankerFace’s public library of emotes.New to Twitch? A Complete Guide to Buying Subscriptions New to Twitch? A Complete Guide to Buying SubscriptionsNew to Twitch and not sure how the payments work? Here’s a complete primer on how Twitch subs work and how you pay for them.READ MORE

FFZ also has a few other features, including a stream uptime counter, group chats, and the ability to block a lot of potentially unwanted features in Twitch’s layout. This now includes several of the somewhat-intrusive social media-lite features that Twitch has recently incorporated into their layout.

Hide Unwanted Streams on Twitch

One of the shortcomings of Twitch is that the ability to block people is piecemeal. You can ban people from talking in your channel, and talking to you, but it’s very difficult to block, for example, a whole channel or game.

That’s where this extension comes in. This adds a little button on top of the image of the game or channel as it appears in the browse screen. Not only does this save you the trouble of having to filter out particular games you don’t enjoy watching, but you can also keep certain streams from ever showing up.

Did you know that Twitch.tv has a category dedicated to Creative Arts?READ MORE

Twitch Live

This extension is probably the simplest and least-fussy way to keep track of live channels outside of getting onto Twitch itself. Installing it adds an icon to the top-right corner of your Chrome browser that shows you how many Twitch channels you’re following are currently online. When you click the icon, a list of the live Twitch drops down, allowing you to click over to them easily.

You can either add channels individually or you can import your followed channels. If you add a channel individually to Twitch Live, you can know when they’re live without necessarily having to follow them. You can also get desktop notifications when a channel on Twitch Live begins streaming, as well as voice notifications in English and Russian.

Note: There are two extensions called Twitch Live, both of which do similar things, but the one I like better is Twitch Live by “bipycxp,” since it provides more information.

TwitchNow

In some ways, TwitchNow functions similarly to Twitch Live. It adds an icon to your browser that shows you how many channels you follow are online, and you can use it to get notifications when streams you’re following go online.

But, unlike Twitch Live, you can also use it to browse games, search for new channels, and view the top streams live at the time. It’s slightly more extensive than similar extensions, and is more of a mini version of the Twitch home page.

Twitch Mini Player

One of the downsides of watching Twitch is that, unless you have it playing on a second monitor you’re not using, it can be difficult to watch and keep up with chat while you have other windows open.

With the Mini Player, you can have a tiny version of your chosen Twitch stream (and the chat, if you choose) running over the top of any window you’re working on. You can resize the player, move it around, and even switch it to audio only if you need to get it off the screen temporarily.

The Mini Player is, by default, always on top on your screen. The above screenshot was taken while MS Paint was open, so it doesn’t just apply to Chrome.

Plays.TV Chrome Extension

Twitch’s own highlighting ability is functional, if not the most intuitive thing in the world. But suppose you are a viewer, or you want to get your viewers in on the fun. If you just watched your favorite Smash streamer pull off a spectacular win in Sudden Death, you want to commemorate the occasion.

With the Plays.TV extension, you can save 30 seconds from a stream, and it will automatically upload to the Plays.TV site, credited to the streamer themselves. The extension also works with YouTube Gaming livestreams.YouTube Gaming Goes Live, How to Get a Job at Google… [Tech News Digest] YouTube Gaming Goes Live, How to Get a Job at Google… [Tech News Digest]YouTube goes Gaming, Google recruits programmers, the invisible women of Ashley Madison, take the Free Reddit Check, and no one should want a virtual reality Facebook.READ MORE

Plays.TV also has a client with which a streamer can use to capture their gameplay and create their own highlights. It can be a little tricky to use, but it might be more intuitive for some than the Twitch highlights system.

10 Microsoft Edge features to help you forget the Internet Explorer nightmare

New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/10-microsoft-edge-features-to-help-you-forget-the-internet-explorer-nightmare/

10 Microsoft Edge features to help you forget the Internet Explorer nightmare

You may have given up on Microsoft web browsers in the days of Internet Explorer, the clunker that drove many people to alternatives like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But those days are over. Microsoft Edge is a browser fit for the modern age, and it has the features to prove it.

Edge launched in 2015, alongside Windows 10, as a basic and lightweight browser. Since then, it’s grown into an accomplished internet tool that you should consider adopting. Of course, it’s up to you to choose a favorite web browser—we also like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera—but to help you forget Internet Explorer and make an unprejudiced choice, here are 10 Edge abilities you should know about.

1. Competitive speed

Rather than upgrading Internet Explorer, Microsoft decided to build Edge from scratch. This allowed the company to incorporate the features internet users rely on: apps, interactions, and different types of content. It also let them remove support for older, outdated technologies and code, making Edge a lot leaner than Internet Explorer.

For Microsoft, trimming that fat paid off: Performance tests show that Edge is now roughly as fast as competitors like Chrome and Firefox, leaving IE in the dust. In other words, don’t let the fact that Internet Explorer took an hour to load deter you from trying Microsoft’s newer browser.

2. Scribbling over webpages

In one of Microsoft Edge’s more unusual features, it lets you annotate the pages you visit. You can save these scribblings for your own future reference, or share them with other people.

To access what Microsoft calls “web notes,” click the web note icon, which looks like a pen, in the top right corner of the window. From there, you can highlight text, or draw lines over the page to focus attention on something, or apply virtual stickers and text on top of the screen.Of course, you’re not actually changing the website itself; you’re creating a copy of it that has all your edits on top. Once you’ve made your annotations, save the page to your hard drive or share it with others.

3. A feed of personalized content

When you load up the browser, its default first page shows you a selection of news stories, information snippets, and videos tailored to your interests. This page, called “My feed,” offers an instantly accessible motherlode of relevant content when you’re looking for something to watch or read.

Edge chooses the feed topics based on your browsing history, interactions you’ve had with Cortana, and personal data like where you’re currently located (for the weather reports). You can also customize what you see by clicking on the cog icon to the top right of this page. Or, if you’d prefer to land on a different page, you can change your defaults so you won’t see My feed every time you open a new tab.

4. Perfect integration with Windows 10

If spend a lot of time in Windows 10, then Microsoft Edge is the perfect companion. For example, if you run a web search from the taskbar using Cortana, then the results will show up in the Edge browser, even if you have a different default browser. Edge also integrates neatly with other Microsoft products, like the Windows Defender antivirus tool for spotting dangerous sites. While Chrome and Firefox still work perfectly well on Windows 10, the experience is a bit more seamless when you’re using all-Microsoft programs.

You can easily pin frequently-visited websites to the taskbar or the Start menu: Click on the menu button (the three horizontal dots) and then choose your favorite sites from the list. Edge also works perfectly on any Windows 10 device, whether you’re working on your desktop or tablet, the two different modes that the operating system supports.

5. Built-in Cortana assistance

As you might expect, Microsoft’s digital assistant works very closely with Edge on Windows 10. Google and Apple have their own digital assistant apps, but neither of them are as well integrated into a browser as Cortana is. The assistant only shows up when you need it: For example, when you visit a restaurant’s website it might show you opening times, when you view a shopping site it can show you if any discount coupons might be available, and when you watch a music video it can pull up lyrics and other information.

To enable Cortana, click the menu button (the three dots on the top right), Settings, and View advanced settings. Then set the Get Cortana to assist me in Microsoft Edge toggle switch to On. When you want to ask the assistant about specific page features, simply highlight and right-click on blocks of text. Or launch a Cortana request from the Windows 10 desktop: If it’s a web-related query, it will open up in Edge as well.

6. Touchscreen gestures

Microsoft designed Windows 10 as an operating system for tablets as well as laptops and desktops. So the company gave its OS, and its Edge browser, more intuitive touchscreen support than any of its main rivals. So if you regularly use a Windows 10 computer in tablet mode, then you have another reason to adopt Edge—it will carry you around the web just a little more quickly.

In tablet mode, Edge has clear, chunky buttons and menus. And you can use special touchscreen shortcuts to find your way around: Swipe left to go back a page, and right to page forward. To try another shortcut, press and hold on the back button, and edge will show you the sites you’ve recently visited.

7. Reading support

Edge has two features designed to help you keep up with your reading list: Reading View, which removes distractions from a page, and Reading List, which stores articles you plan to revisit (without cluttering up your bookmarks). While other browsers share one or both of these features, Edge implements them slightly better: It integrates them seamlessly into the browser interface, where they’re more accessible and don’t clutter up the page.

To access Reading View, click its icon (it looks like a small book) in the address bar. Edge will transform the page into a more digestible form by removing extraneous ads and other distractions. To take advantage of Reading List, click the star icon in the address bar. This will save the current site to your favorites or to the Reading List. To access it again, hit the Hub button (a star with three lines by it) on the toolbar.

8. Snoozing tabs for later

We can all get overwhelmed by the sheer number of open browser tabs on screen. So Microsoft Edge bundles in a handy snoozing ability to help you deal with them. Edge does this better than any other browser at the moment, without requiring any new extensions or add-ons.

On the very top left of the interface, you’ll find the “Set these tabs aside” button. When you hit it, all the tabs that you had on screen will disappear, giving you a fresh start. When you want to bring back those old tabs, click on the “Tabs that you’ve set aside” button right next to the first one.

9. Accessible on Windows S

Microsoft designed Windows S, the cut-down, streamlined version of Windows 10, as a more lightweight option for home users. So it has no room for big desktop packages like Photoshop; it only runs apps from the Windows Store. And the only web browser in the Windows Store is Microsoft Edge.

This means that, if you’re running a laptop with Windows S on board, such as a Surface, you’ll need to become familiar with Edge. Or to put it another way, if Edge is your go-to browser, then you’ve got a wider selection of Windows 10 laptops you can choose from.

10. Available on phones

It’s very convenient to have a browser that syncs your desktop bookmarks, passwords, and other web browsing info to your phone. Luckily, Microsoft just announced versions of Edge for Android and iOS, though the software is still in the early stages of development. You can already sync your reading list and new tab page layout over to your phone. You can also beam interesting pages from your phone to a Windows 10 computer in order to read on a larger screen. As the apps mature, they should offer even more features.

You can find the Android preview here. On iOS, you need to install TestFlight to try out the browser. For more information, check out Microsoft’s full instructions for running the apps.

Rapportive founders new startup Superhuman is what Gmail would be if built today

Reinventing the email experience is an area numerous startups have tried to tackle over the years, with some apps focused more on triage, others on making a better desktop alternative to Outlook, and still more aiming to re-envision email as a mobile-first product, among other ideas. A new startup called Superhuman, from the founder of Gmail add-on Rapportive acquired in 2012 by LinkedIn, is different.

Instead of giving email a new coat of paint, Superhumans underlying technology is designed to speed up everything about using email, while also bundling in features like snoozing, scheduling, read statuses, undo send, insights from social networks, and more.

The startup was founded byRahul Vohra, who incorporated Superhuman as soon as he left LinkedIn, where he worked for two years following Rapportives acquisition. Rapportive was one of the most popular Gmail add-on, as it put peoples social network identities, professional titles and other key information in Gmails sidebar, allowing you to quickly connect with them beyond the inbox.

At LinkedIn, the product had shifted away from supporting other social networks a decision Vohra admits he made knowing that those features like its connections to Facebook and Twitter wouldnt receive ongoing maintenance.

Vohra spent a couple of years at LinkedIn, but has known for some time that Superhuman would be his next product.

I always really knew that I wanted to start Superhuman, he explains. That was very clear to me as I was watching the email space change. We were asking ourselves the question: what would Gmail look like if it was built today, not twelve years ago,' he says. We decided it would be blazingly fast; it would be visually gorgeous; the whole thing would work offline; you wouldnt need a multitude of browser extensions to get things done; and people would be materially faster at doing their email.

Whats different: browser-based, speedy, advanced features without add-ons

Though the app has a number of bells and whistles, the most interesting thing about Superhuman is that its largely a redesign of browser-based email with a focus on speed. Many of the next-generation email apps have launched first as desktop or mobile clients, by comparison.

Unlike most browser-based email, which is server-based, Superhuman can store and index gigabytes of email in the web browser itself. This is possible by leveraging todays more powerful APIs in the browser, along with the faster CPUs and hard drives on our computers.

I just think that no one ever tried. Everyone assumed youre in a browser tab, so clearly the service should store the email, the service should do the search, and the service should work like Gmail, Vohra says.

A product like Gmail couldnt do this, because it needs to serve over a billion users that means supporting older computers, out of date browsers, email over slower internet connections, and so on.

Superhuman, however, is only targeting a fraction of the email market: business users who will pay a subscription for a more powerful client. For this reason, the browser version of the email app only works in Google Chrome. But a desktop client, and later a mobile app, will also be available.

A core tenet of Superhumans reinvented inbox is one designed for speed. Everything that happens searching, sending, start-up, etc. will take place in 100ms. This is the speed at which people see the action as instantaneous, Vohra explains.

In addition, he says hundreds of other product decisions in Superhuman, each which may seem minor on their own, also help to make getting through the inbox faster.

In beta tests, the team has found that users who used to dig through their inbox for 3 hours per day are now cutting through it twice as fast.

Another key feature involves the way Superhuman aids with email triage. Similar in some respects to Gmails Priority Inbox functionality an optional feature favored by power users Superhuman understands which email is important based on historical usage patterns. But it also picks up some of the important emails that Gmails system ignores like calendar invites, notifications about Google Docs updates, and other invites to collaborate on work.

The app additionally includes a good handful of built-in functionality often not available in browser-based email without the use of plug-ins, or by switching on a Gmail Labs option. For example, an undo send is on by default; you can schedule emails for a later date and time; you can snooze emails; and you can even track whos read the email, when and on what device, through a read status indicator.

This indicator will show you who among multiple recipients have read your email something that differentiates it from simpler solutions that only know if an email has been opened or not.

A Rapportive-like feature returns

And, not to worry, a Rapportive-like feature is available as well. Superhuman displays information about your contacts in the inbox including profile pictures, where they live, job titles, and the option to connect with them on social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere.

As to whether Superhuman can meet this ambitious goal of getting power users to not only abandon Gmail, but pay for the privilege of doing so is another question. Its hard to give up the muscle memory and email workflow youve used for years, and everyone has their own set of email preferences. Many are game to try a new email solution, but retaining users over time is hard.

However, Vohra has assembled an impressive team to help. He describes CTO Conrad Irwin as the best programmer youll ever meet, and the best programmer at LinkedIn. Another co-founder,Vivek Sodera, co-founded LiveRamp which was sold to Acxiom for $310 million. Head of mobile, Emuye Reynolds, came from Apple.

There are only fourteen people in the world who have been building iOS apps for longer than she has,Vohra notes. The remaining team includes otherex-Apple, ex-Zynga, ex-Google, ex-Amazon, and ex-Facebook employees and engineers.

Superhuman, (which is not related to an earlier Superhuman also in the productivity space) is not making its product publicly available at this time during beta testing. But including this weeks soft beta launch on Product Hunt, it has racked up somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 sign-ups for its waitlist. You can move up the list by tweeting about it, Vohra says.

Rapportive founders new startup Superhuman is what Gmail would be if built today

Reinventing the email experience is an area numerous startups have tried to tackle over the years, with some apps focused more on triage, others on making a better desktop alternative to Outlook, and still more aiming to re-envision email as a mobile-first product, among other ideas. A new startup called Superhuman, from the founder of Gmail add-on Rapportive acquired in 2012 by LinkedIn, is different.

Instead of giving email a new coat of paint, Superhumans underlying technology is designed to speed up everything about using email, while also bundling in features like snoozing, scheduling, read statuses, undo send, insights from social networks, and more.

The startup was founded byRahul Vohra, who incorporated Superhuman as soon as he left LinkedIn, where he worked for two years following Rapportives acquisition. Rapportive was one of the most popular Gmail add-on, as it put peoples social network identities, professional titles and other key information in Gmails sidebar, allowing you to quickly connect with them beyond the inbox.

At LinkedIn, the product had shifted away from supporting other social networks a decision Vohra admits he made knowing that those features like its connections to Facebook and Twitter wouldnt receive ongoing maintenance.

Vohra spent a couple of years at LinkedIn, but has known for some time that Superhuman would be his next product.

I always really knew that I wanted to start Superhuman, he explains. That was very clear to me as I was watching the email space change. We were asking ourselves the question: what would Gmail look like if it was built today, not twelve years ago,' he says. We decided it would be blazingly fast; it would be visually gorgeous; the whole thing would work offline; you wouldnt need a multitude of browser extensions to get things done; and people would be materially faster at doing their email.

Whats different: browser-based, speedy, advanced features without add-ons

Though the app has a number of bells and whistles, the most interesting thing about Superhuman is that its largely a redesign of browser-based email with a focus on speed. Many of the next-generation email apps have launched first as desktop or mobile clients, by comparison.

Unlike most browser-based email, which is server-based, Superhuman can store and index gigabytes of email in the web browser itself. This is possible by leveraging todays more powerful APIs in the browser, along with the faster CPUs and hard drives on our computers.

I just think that no one ever tried. Everyone assumed youre in a browser tab, so clearly the service should store the email, the service should do the search, and the service should work like Gmail, Vohra says.

A product like Gmail couldnt do this, because it needs to serve over a billion users that means supporting older computers, out of date browsers, email over slower internet connections, and so on.

Superhuman, however, is only targeting a fraction of the email market: business users who will pay a subscription for a more powerful client. For this reason, the browser version of the email app only works in Google Chrome. But a desktop client, and later a mobile app, will also be available.

A core tenet of Superhumans reinvented inbox is one designed for speed. Everything that happens searching, sending, start-up, etc. will take place in 100ms. This is the speed at which people see the action as instantaneous, Vohra explains.

In addition, he says hundreds of other product decisions in Superhuman, each which may seem minor on their own, also help to make getting through the inbox faster.

In beta tests, the team has found that users who used to dig through their inbox for 3 hours per day are now cutting through it twice as fast.

Another key feature involves the way Superhuman aids with email triage. Similar in some respects to Gmails Priority Inbox functionality an optional feature favored by power users Superhuman understands which email is important based on historical usage patterns. But it also picks up some of the important emails that Gmails system ignores like calendar invites, notifications about Google Docs updates, and other invites to collaborate on work.

The app additionally includes a good handful of built-in functionality often not available in browser-based email without the use of plug-ins, or by switching on a Gmail Labs option. For example, an undo send is on by default; you can schedule emails for a later date and time; you can snooze emails; and you can even track whos read the email, when and on what device, through a read status indicator.

This indicator will show you who among multiple recipients have read your email something that differentiates it from simpler solutions that only know if an email has been opened or not.

A Rapportive-like feature returns

And, not to worry, a Rapportive-like feature is available as well. Superhuman displays information about your contacts in the inbox including profile pictures, where they live, job titles, and the option to connect with them on social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere.

As to whether Superhuman can meet this ambitious goal of getting power users to not only abandon Gmail, but pay for the privilege of doing so is another question. Its hard to give up the muscle memory and email workflow youve used for years, and everyone has their own set of email preferences. Many are game to try a new email solution, but retaining users over time is hard.

However, Vohra has assembled an impressive team to help. He describes CTO Conrad Irwin as the best programmer youll ever meet, and the best programmer at LinkedIn. Another co-founder,Vivek Sodera, co-founded LiveRamp which was sold to Acxiom for $310 million. Head of mobile, Emuye Reynolds, came from Apple.

There are only fourteen people in the world who have been building iOS apps for longer than she has,Vohra notes. The remaining team includes otherex-Apple, ex-Zynga, ex-Google, ex-Amazon, and ex-Facebook employees and engineers.

Superhuman, (which is not related to an earlier Superhuman also in the productivity space) is not making its product publicly available at this time during beta testing. But including this weeks soft beta launch on Product Hunt, it has racked up somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 sign-ups for its waitlist. You can move up the list by tweeting about it, Vohra says. Sign-up is here.

The startup is in the process of closing on funding, but has been partially bootstrapped through Vohras personal investment until now.

Dropbox alternatives – the best 11 competitors

Cloud storage is currently at the very pinnacle of modern computing technology, and the wave is joined by more and more early adopters.

The reason is that storing files in cloud makes data universally accessible, regardless of the device or location of the person looking for it. What is more, most prominent providers guarantee encrypted cloud storage to make sure no intrusion can affect sensitive information.

Applications like Dropbox certainly revolutionized how users upload and share information, mostly to the benefit of small and midmarket businesses which didn’t have the same benefits as large enterprises.

Thanks to Dropbox’s fast and most secure cloud storage, there are no longer geographic boundaries that require expensive physical infrastructure to exchange large files.

Another reason that apps like Dropbox are becoming so popular is that average consumers can easily get grasp on their functionality, but the truth is that only some of them will meet their enterprise-grade collaboration, security, and affordability needs.

To make the choice of the right system easier for you, we selected some of the best Dropbox alternatives and Dropbox like services that can meet your needs.

Google Drive

This Google product is the most prominent and attractive product among Dropbox competitors, where you can store 15 GB of data for free (7 times as much as Dropbox would allow). Nevertheless, you should keep in mind that these 15 GB also cover your Gmail account files and Google+ pictures.

Regardless of how you’ve chosen to look at it, Google Drive is still the most viable alternative to Dropbox. Its looks and functions are similar to Dropbox, but where it really shines is the integration with Google Sheets and Google Docs.

It is a single hub where you can edit and upload files and collaborate with other users, while a possibility to work on files in group is also provided. The same as other alternatives to Dropbox we are about to mention, Google Drive supports all web browsers and devices.

As a desktop client, you get to use Google Drive on Windows and Mac systems, sync the files you already stored on your local device, and edit them in Google Docs and similar tools. If you’re an Android/iOS user, you will get a dedicated app from where you can access and edit files on the go.

Box.com

In short, Box.com helps users to save, share, and edit their files in cloud.

There are also dedicated apps for Windows, Android, and iOS users that facilitate access to system files from all possible locations.

The only reason why an average customer should skip Box.com is the relatively limited package for individual users who can store no more than 250 MB. Despite of it, Box.com relies on powerful mainstream and administrative services to score as a leading cloud storage system.

OneDrive

OneDrive is the inheritor of Sky Drive, Microsoft’s homegrown cloud storage app that allowed users to store/exchange 7 GB of files in their networks free of charge. Once you subscribe to a higher plan (Microsoft Office 365 Professional or Home), the storage rises to 20 GB.

The biggest advantage of this system is the spotless integration with Office, thanks to which users can edit their files directly in the platform. The service is available on iOS, Mac OS X, Windows, and Windows Mobile devices, meaning that managing files on the network is almost unlimited.

According to some users, the problem with this app is that it requires them to share files using its own inbuilt buttons, which they find to be harder than sharing them the usual way.

CloudMe

CloudMe is a unique, standalone storage service where users get to share as much as 19 GB of files at no charge.

All documents uploaded in the system are categorized in folders and groups, and you can benefit from a simple drag-and-drop mechanism to sync them to specific devices. Plus, CloudMe is available on all leading devices and major operating systems.

Amazon Cloud Drive

As expected, Amazon also developed its own service for cloud storage, and one that offers users to share 5 GB of data for free. It is fairly easy to sync local documents on the network, and access them from traditional and mobile devices.

For example, once you’ve synced your phone with the Amazon network, all your images are automatically transferred to your Cloud Drive from where you can restore them even in case you’ve deleted them from the original location. Back up is automated, which means that documents are protected regardless of what could happen to your device.

Amazon is quite generous when it comes to size limits per file, and permits users to upload and exchange files up to 2 GB. What could be considered as a drawback is that you can’t give content a public status, and distribute it on more than 8 devices.

Sugar Sync

Sugar Sync is probably one of the safest and best-encrypted Dropbox alternatives, known by its friendly and intuitive interface where you can sync files to specific devices in less than no time.

One of its most advanced features is File Versioning, used to monitor backed up files and to restore them on different devices. You can also use it to stream your media, following the advice of many users who believe Sugar to be much better than Dropbox in many functionality aspects.

The initial package offers 5 GB of costless storage, while the user gets extra 500 MB for each additional referral.

Team Drive

TeamDrive is another great cloud storage system for sharing and syncing data coming from Germany.

What makes the platform extremely popular is the bank-level network-wide encryption that makes it impossible for unauthorized people to access your files. In fact, this is why many Fortune 500 but also small companies have chosen TeamDrive for their collaboration needs.

Tresorit

Tresorit is incorporated in Switzerland, offers client-side security, but doesn’t require the use of risky extensions like Java. More than a 1000 hackers tried to break their security for $50,000. No one succeeded.

Sync

Sync.com is also quit generous with safety precautions, and speaks of it without false modesty.

Going on their website, one can read that they offer the most private, secure cloud storage on the planet, and many users who are familiar with their features or have tested those agree with this opinion.

The capabilities list is presentable, to say at least, and covers all syncing and sharing options one could expect from a solid cloud storage service. Using it, you’d also benefit from 5 GB free storage, zero-knowledge encryption, user and device control, automated backup, HIPAA compliance, and many other professional features.

pCloud

One thing that we can all agree on is that compared to the time when it appeared, Dropbox has certainly become stingier with free storage giveaways. First, their Basic plan got down to 5 GB, but what customers were absolutely shocked by was the downgrade to only 2 GB.

This is why pCloud deserves customer’s attention – the system offers 20 GB of free storage (used to be 10), and is thereof fully enabled to compete with brands such as Google and Box.com

SpiderOak

SpiderOak is relatively new compared to other cloud storage solutions we discussed, and appeared as a result of what critics like to call the ‘post-Snowden’ era.

What it means is that privacy and security are the top features of this system, and that all data is encrypted and accessible only with passwords. SpiderOak protects even your metadata, and guarantees none of their employees will be able to see it.
