Chrome may be the most used browser, but it isn’t necessarily the best one out there. Alternatives exist that could better meet your needs.
One such option is Firefox. It’s a rare browser not based on Chromium, the project that powers Chrome, unlike other rivals like Edge or Opera. It’s also backed by a team with a long, storied history in browser development and a deep interest in online privacy. As a result, using Firefox can boost your PC’s performance, better pro
Any PC builder knows that internal wiring can be a hassle. Between power supply rails, SATA cables, cooling fans, and any number of other parts, you might spend just as much time organizing your cables and wires as you do actually assembling all your parts. Gigabyte has a solution to that in its Aorus Project Stealth PC: a system that puts each and every wire in the build on the back side of the case. This makes the main area optimized for airflow — not to mention drop-dead gorgeous and
Just the name alone should give you goosebumps: Microsoft has a free Top Gun: Maverick expansion for Flight Simulator, and it’s available now.
Microsoft released a trailer of the new expansion on Wednesday, which starts kicking in the 80’s nostalgia as soon as the opening bars of the original Top Gun theme begin to play. (Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn’t licensed Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” for the trailer,” but Spotify is just a click or two away.
Microsoft has finally brought one of the better features of Windows into Windows 11: Windows Spotlight, which splashes Microsoft’s rather blah new operating system with some warmth and charm.
It’s worth dropping any pretense of objectivity for this. I’m a fan of nature photography, and Microsoft is too. Think about how a photo of a pastoral California hillside became the iconic “Bliss” backdrop of Windows XP, for example. Microsoft has quietly amassed an enormo
People sometimes look at me like I’m crazy when I say I have four browsers installed on my PCs—and that I use them all.
Using more than one browser at a time isn’t entirely unusual, though. I’m not alone in segmenting the types of tabs that I open in each program. I’ve seen other people online who say they sandbox their social media accounts in Edge, work email and services in Firefox, and personal stuff in Chrome (for example). While not perfect, this system a

AMD’s next-gen Ryzen 7000 CPUs and AM5 motherboards are just around the corner. And if you’re a certain type of gamer, there’s just one question on your mind: “Will I be able to overclock it so much that my PC will glow even without RGB lighting?” To that, AMD says a resounding “yes.”
In an interview on PCWorld’s podcast The Full Nerd, AMD’s Director of Technical Marketing Robert Hallock told us that, yes, the company’s new Ryzen
If you need a good looking laptop for travel with lots of screen space, we’ve found a doozy at Staples. The office supplies store is selling the 17.3-inch Asus VivoBook K712EA for $370. There are some trade-offs, sure, but at its core it’s a solid everyday device.
First up, let’s talk about that display. It’s 17.3 inches with 1080p resolution, so no worries there. For a laptop this size, no matter how cheap, you don’t want anything under 1080p.
As for the p
It’s an excellent day to stock up on storage. Amazon has a one-day deal on drives, SD cards, and external drives from WD and SanDisk. You better act fast because the deals end just before midnight on Wednesday evening, Pacific time. Here are three items we really like from the sale.
First up, we’ve got a 400GB SanDisk microSDXC for $36. A microSD card of this size usually costs anywhere from $50 to $60. This particular model is great for Android tablets and phones as well as mir
PC brands love to tout expensive, high-end laptops, but history has shown most people buy a budget laptop. And why not? A $500 laptop can be a capable machine that will serve you well for years.
There’s just one problem: the brands are on to you. They’ve flooded the market with hundreds of slightly tweaked configurations designed to maximum profit. Choosing the right budget laptop is difficult if you don’t know what to look for. It can get especially tricky with sale model
