ReactionTests VS ShellNewHandler

• Simple and quick to use
  Reaction time tests are usually a single-purpose tool. You can open the page and start a test in seconds without learning anything first, which suits casual users and quick comparisons.
• No installation required
  The test runs in the browser on desktop or mobile, so there is nothing to download. That makes it easy to share with friends, students or colleagues.
• Immediate feedback
  Results appear right after each attempt, usually in milliseconds. Users can see their performance straight away and track improvement over repeated tries.
• Useful for education and curiosity
  Online reaction tests are a good way to demonstrate human response time, compare yourself with averages, and explore how factors like fatigue, focus or caffeine may affect reflexes.
• Typically free to access
  Sites of this kind are generally free and need no account, which lowers the barrier to trying them out.

Possible disadvantages

• Measurement accuracy limitations
  Browser-based tests include latency from the monitor refresh rate, input device, browser rendering and system load. Results are therefore only approximate and can differ from lab-grade equipment or between devices.
• Not a clinical or scientific tool
  The results should not be used for medical, diagnostic or professional performance assessment. The test is not standardized or validated in the way clinical instruments are.
• Limited depth and features
  A basic reaction test usually measures only one type of response. It may not offer detailed analytics, long-term progress tracking, varied test types or cognitive assessments unless the site provides them.
• Inconsistent results across hardware
  Differences in screens, mice, keyboards, touchscreens and connections make it hard to compare scores fairly between users or sessions.
• Possible ads and privacy concerns
  Free sites often rely on advertising or analytics, which can mean cookies, tracking and distracting ads. Ads and background scripts could also affect the timing or the experience.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
