What useful unknown website do you wish more people knew about?

1

Z-Lib

Go to z-lib.org and it will probably redirect you to 1lib.domains, from which you will most likely be redirected to either a 1lib one or a b-ok one depending on your region. They try their best to be even more resilient than The Pirate Bay, so they distribute their service among dozens of domains to reduce their risk. A lot of their stuff has been banned but they shrug it off thanks to their precautions. A truly awe-inspiring work of engineering by their creator(s).

Ninite

Ninite.com It's a website for when you need essential software installed on your computer (e.g. browsers, video player, etc.), let's you pick them in a clean and easy way and downloads a single installer file for all of them. Great time saver in case of computer reinstalls and so on.

Archive.org

Archive.org "Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more." I normally use this site for all the Grateful Dead shows I can dream of but there's a lot more there! I see there's a collection of Film Noir that I'll have to check out here sometime soon. Not sure why I hadn't noticed before but better late than never!

remove.bg for Desktop

Remove.bg - Remove backgrounds from images using a trained neural network. Does a pretty damn good job at it too. Great at turning "fake .png" into real .png or just cutting people out of images quickly with minimal cleanup - although Photoshop recently got "isolate from BG" as well IIRC but for people without Photoshop it's a nice alternative.

Camelcamelcamel

Https://camelcamelcamel.com is great for tracking Amazon item histories. The site allows you to see price fluctuations, so for example, if the current price of an item is at its lowest or highest. I find it useful for “sales” and markdowns which the seller may have hiked the price up and then applied a discount or instant rebate to look like you’re getting a good deal (pretty sure that’s illegal and false advertising, but herf-derf capitalism freemarket ). The site also has an email notification function to ping you when an item drops in price.

IsThereAnyDeal

If you play games, isthereanydeal.com is a godsend. It searches a large number of stores (legitimate, not places like G2A) and allows you to see where games are the cheapest. You can also add games to your wait-list so you'll get an email when the game goes below a certain threshold. I have saved hundred of dollars from using that site.

It was super easy to install and add everything to, and now I'm annoyed that I hadn't done it sooner.
