Opera

Down the tubes

I have used Opera over the years, but it has now reached the point where it is more trouble than I need. First, you can't export bookmarks without an extension and then it flattens your bookmarks folders if they are nested. Second, with the Version 45 update on 5-18-17 I ran into several problems which I couldn't solve. You now cannot install an earlier version and block automatic updates to the program while waiting on a fix. What program doesn't give you an option to refuse an update. A search on the internet gives a solution where you have to add a change to system environment to stop the update. Who needs this headache. Price: Free

Comodo Internet Security

Good security and flexibility

I have used ZA for a number of years as my firewall, but finally gave up due to the sluggishness of the program. With Comodo, my computer and internet responses are faster and I feel that I have more flexibility in tailoring Comodo for my needs. A word of advice for new users of Comodo. During install select the Automatic rules setup instead of Custom. Then use the program for a while to allow or block applications for each occurrence before manually tinkering with the settings yourself. This program has lots of flexibility and you can mess it up big time if you don't know what you are doing. Price: Free

Telescope

Simple, but sweet

I've used Telescope for about a year and really like it. The interface is very simple without bells and whistles, but the program allows the use of Boolean expressions and is very fast. Most search tools that I have tried do not allow such filters, which greatly improves search results. Price: Free
