onlineTV 12.15.10.20

Watch TV channels and listen to radio stations from around the world and access various newspapers to read the latest titles with this application



With a pretty self-explanatory name, onlineTV is the kind of application that's supposed to make your life easier by allowing you watch streaming television channels and listen to radio over the Internet with just a few clicks.

onlineTV does has an ace up its sleeve in the form of a special utility to let you record the content and then either burn it on discs or just organize it onto local drives.

Features are nicely organized in the main window, so you can listen to radio stations from many countries worldwide, and the same criteria applies to TV channels. Plus, there's an option to view webcams across the world, but also to open some music videos listed alphabetically.

Last but not least, onlineTV comes with a dedicated feature called Music 2 go that allows users to copy music files to USB sticks, iPods, PSP, PDA and CDs or DVDs on the fly. Just follow the built-in wizard and you can transfer your favorite songs on portable devices with only a few clicks.

A good thing is that onlineTV doesn't require a super-machine to run properly, so you just need a decent Windows computer with an Internet connection, Windows Media Player and RealPlayer to be able to open all streams.

To conclude, onlineTV offers good features and it's not at all hard to operate, so users should have no problems in enjoying a variety of multimedia content on their PCs.

Opera Web Browser 32.0.1948.69

A fast and reliable web browser that offers simple, practical and efficient ways for exploring the web and hides under its hood powerful tools for controlling your online privacy

Opera is a web browser that delivers an intuitive search and navigation mode backed up by advanced features that include add-ons, download and bookmark managers, private data deletion options, mouse gestures, pop-up blocker and more.

Smart and practical interface

The clean feature lineup and elegant lines adopted for shaping up the layout clearly represent a great advantage. It manages to deliver a simple and intuitive working environment by embedding in the main panel only key features for ensuring a seamless browsing session.

Tabs may look and feel a bit robust at a first glance but they are actually quite practical. You may work with pinned tabs and quickly access your favorite websites using ‘Speed Dials’ which enable you to add an unlimited number of pages that are revealed as thumbnails when a new tab is opened.

When it comes to changing the looks of your web browser you may apply themes by selecting from several default ones or downloading some more. Custom themes can also be created with the aid of images uploaded from your computer.

Extra functionality can be added to your web browser by installing extensions so you can translate webpages, block advertisements, save your passwords, and more.

Built-in bookmark manager for storing and sharing websites

A heart-shaped icon is integrated in the toolbar for helping you quickly save your favorite URLs to one of the preset categories. You may also create a custom folder where you can dump bookmarks and add the current bookmark to the Speed Dial.

One of the best bookmark tweaks that you can go for it deals with picking the preferred thumbnail image for each bookmark. The utility automatically reveals suggestive images from the current webpage and lets you preview them.

Leaving aside the quick features that are implemented in the toolbar for managing preferred websites, Opera also offers support for a built-in bookmark manager.

It comes out with something totally new, which cannot be found in other web browsers: interactive preview mode with thumbnails. The drag-and-drop support can be used for arranging thumbnails according to your preferences.

In case you want to return to classic looks, Opera allows you to turn on a list view mode. Hovering your mouse cursor over a bookmark reveals more options that allow you to remove or edit bookmarks, or add them to Speed Dial.

Another smart feature helps you share your bookmarks with your friends, even if they are not Opera users, by generating a temporary public link that is accessible for up to 14 days.

Discover news and entertainment

The ‘Discover’ feature offers a simple and efficient way for helping bloggers, journalists or news addicts stay up-to-date with the latest news based on user preference, namely country and language or subjects of interest (e.g. arts, business, food, health, sports, technology).

Search and navigation mode

Opera adopts a combined search and address bar for helping you look for info on the Internet, displays predictive search suggestions, and lets you organize multiple pages with tabs, activate the full screen mode, make text more readable by zooming in or out, and retrieve the tabs closed earlier in the current session.

Opera Turbo feature is specifically designed for slower Internet connections, as it saves bandwidth and compresses data while you browse.

A fast navigation mode can be acquired using mouse gestures (e.g. holding the right mouse button, moving the mouse a certain direction) for performing common browsing actions (e.g. close current tab, reload the page), rocker gestures in order to jump backwards and forwards through pages by rocking your fingers between the right and left mouse button, as well as keyboard shortcuts.

Private browsing

You can activate an anonymous mode for searching on the Internet without leaving any traces behind. When you close the private window, Opera automatically deletes browsing history, items stored in cache and cookies.

The web browser makes use of badges for indicating details about the page you have landed on and warns you about suspicious webpages that may contain malware or phishing. For example, when the connection is secure, a lock is revealed in the security badge letting you know that your information remains private.

Plus, the tool blocks insecure content and lets you clear browsing data, namely browsing and download history, cookies and other site data, cache, clear saved passwords, and autofill form data. Cookies may be blocked or added to the list with exceptions.

Sync and developer tools

The Sync mode lets you save your bookmarks, Speed Dial, custom search engines, history and other configuration settings so you can access them across multiple devices. Advanced utilities, such as a DOM view of webpages and highlighting of elements, are there to help developers debug local and remote webpages.

A fast and reliable web browser

All in all, Opera offers simple, practical and efficient ways for exploring the web and hides under its hood powerful tools for controlling your online privacy. This mix of features makes it ideal for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.

Google Chrome 45.0.2454.101

A web browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology for delivering streamlined and secure browsing sessions

Google Chrome is a web browser that aims to deliver a fast and simple Internet navigation mode while bundling several powerful features, such as bookmarks, synchronization, privacy mode, extensions, themes, automatic web page translation, and some more.

Clean browsing sessions

Simplicity is at the core of Chrome’s philosophy and is the word that describes best the GUI. Chrome is the type of browser that doesn’t get in your way. It provides a seamless navigation mode and easy-to-trigger customization options.

Another big plus is the clean look that it has to offer, as you may focus solely on your work without being distracted by unnecessary buttons or extra configuration settings.

Search and navigation possibilities

You can work with multiple tabs, pin your favorite ones and have them opened automatically every time you launch Chrome, as well as make use of the drag-and-drop support for rearranging tabs in the preferred order.

The web browser integrates a single search box, the so-called Omnibox, where you are allowed to perform search operations on the web and access different websites. The auto-completion feature proves to be particularly useful as it provides suggestions as you start typing.

Other power functions for enhancing your daily web browsing on the Internet include a build-in PDF viewer (resizing, saving and printing options are supported), custom keywords for your favorite websites, as well as the browser’s ability of remembering previously opened tabs.

Themes can be used for personalizing the way your web browser looks like while extensions give you the freedom to take screenshots, track discounts, read RSS feeds, and more.

Security tools
