DMDE. I know they have free and paid version. Even with the free version I was able to recover 500gb of data 100% with all the folder structure intact. With the free version you will have to manually select each directories but it was worth the effort.

Also Mega. I have multiple legacy accounts that has permanent 50gb space.

The Portable Apps Platform - free portable software meta app. It's there, every day, like the Windows start button is there.

I just downloaded Libretube from FDroid, which I also just downloaded haha, and I'm absolutely loving it!

So much better than YouTube.

GNU Texmacs.

I'm never, ever again wasting my time typing in sketchy and weird latex commands. Point and click. Easy and to the point.

Your simple, every day, web browser. It doesn't matter which one. They're all free and they all are the main, basic way of accessing the internet.

I'd have used "the internet" itself, but most people still have to pay to get connected to it.

Signal and Weawow. Although I have donated since they are wonderful apps IMO.
