Ninite is the easiest way to install software.
Chocolatey or Ninite. Both of them have similar function. Both of them are install manager. Just choose the apps that you want to install, it will install for you. Chocolatey is CUI ( Character User Interface aka no icons/windows like UI ) so if you are little bit techy/geeky, this is perfect. Or Ninite can do the similar function but in a normal GUI way. Good for those who are unfamiliar in CUI way.

The best alternative I've found that meets both of these criteria is qmmp. Its default UI mimics Winamp/XMMS, but its alternative "simple UI" is reminiscent of foobar2000's columns UI which I liked a lot. How it displays your music is also fairly flexible if you want to take the time to customize that.

Reddit gives you the best of the internet in one place. Get a constantly updating feed of breaking news, fun stories, pics, memes, and videos just for you.
HTTPS Everywhere functions as a redirector based on a list maintained by the EFF (I think), it redirects you to the HTTPS version of websites (as in, the traffic is encrypted. For example your ISP can only see that you are browsing "https://reddit.com" instead of ""https://reddit.com/r/Askreddit"). Most sites today just need an extra "S" but back then they needed some prefix to work.
