Sandboxie is a sandboxing app. It's main purpose is to isolate an app from your PC, mainly used to run suspicious apps. It can track what the isolated app does.

It's rather complicated, so it's easier to find the game here, or as what I do, use Everything and sort by recently modified files so I can check what files are just written.

I didn’t know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn’t work on many sites.

I've been using FastForward for months and every single time it successfully skips redirects. Though the addon is not on Firefox for now due to some miscommunications. You'd have to install it manually here. But if you're using Chrome or Edge, you can install it directly from the store.

Can uBlock also skip redirects? The whole time I'm using it, it doesn't skip them at all. I use FastForward to skip redirects and it's been working really well.

I've been using Xtreme Download Manager for a long time. It's lightweight and has a browser extension, so it can easily intercept links. Some websites can't be easily intercepted by it, so I use JDownloader2 instead for that.

Always under the pretense of protecting kids when they actually don't care

Games and softwares: I store the installers, delete if I don't like it

Music: store them all, even if some songs in an album isn't my cup of tea

Videos: want to save all of them, but my storage is pretty small in the first place, so I pick the ones I really like

Ebooks: only downloaded a few, but still save them all

Mangas: usually save unless I don't really like it or no reason to reread

Actually I use duckduckgo nowadays. It just sounds clunky to say "duckduckgoing" or "searching on duckduckgo". Also that info I got is from a Reddit post.

After some quick googling, seems like it's not open source yet, just soon™. They can pull their statement back.

Not sure about that, I never use patched online apps from there. You could check if the uploader is trusted and read the comments.

I've been using Mobilism for a long time. Most of the time I find what I need there.
