Download Audials Moviebox 14.0.57601.100

(Commercial Trial)
Audials Moviebox is a video downloader app that has a number of options available for downloading video content. The app also allows you to stream media directly in the app and it has an internal media player so you can view your downloads.

Moviebox has a couple of cool features, such as the ability to create playlists with your videos rather than just organize them by genre. The app also allows you to copy your downloads to a CD or DVD.

One downside is that it is not as straight forward as it should be and the user interface isn't easy to get to grips with. The file-format options are reduced too, which can be a little annoying. That having been said, the most popular formats like MP4, AVI, WMV, TS, MKV, MPEG, MPG, WEbM, MOV, FLV, H.264, XVID, DIVX, 3ivx, DV, CDXL, DFA, MVE, MVI, PAF, PMP, RPL, ROQ and VMD are supported. You can also convert your audio files to MP3.

Overall, the Audials Moviebox app has a few good options for downloading video content, and you can stream video and internet radio within the app. Audials Moviebox does appear to be not as convenient as other apps, as it doesn't automatically detect and download videos from your browser.

Download Google Chrome 49.0.2623.64 Beta

(Open Source)
Google's game changing browser Chrome combines sophisticated technology with a simple UI, to create a faster, safer and easier browsing experience. Launched in 2008, Google Chrome quickly dominated the browser market to become the most used browser globally within 4 years of its public release. Google's rapid and continuous development cycle ensures the browser continues to compete with the other most popular and advanced web browsers available.

Speed

Perhaps the area Google invested most of its development time to differentiate from other browsers. Google Chrome launches extremely quickly from your desktop, runs applications at speed thanks to a powerful JavaScript engine and loads pages rapidly using the WebKit open source rendering engine. Add to this quicker search and navigation options from the simplified UI and you have a browser that is pretty hard to beat on speed, especially if gaming is your thing.

Clean, simple UI

Google Chrome's most striking feature and a substantial factor in its popularity - the simple UI hasn't changed much since the beta launch in 2008. Google focused on trimming down unnecessary toolbar space to maximise browsing real estate. The browser is made up of 3 rows of tools, the top layer horizontally stacks automatically adjusting tabs, next to a simple new tabs icon and the standard minimize, expand & close windows controls. The middle row includes 3 navigation controls (Back, Forward & Stop/Refresh), a URL box which also allows direct Google web searching and a star bookmarking icon. Extensions and browser settings icons line up to the right of the URL box. The third row is made up of bookmark folders and installed apps. Easily overlooked now, this clean UI was a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded toolbars of popular browsers pre-2008.

Privacy

Another hugely popular feature, Incognito mode allows you to browse privately by disabling history recording, reducing traceable breadcrumbs and removing tracking cookies on shutdown. Chrome's settings also allow you to customize regular browsing privacy preferences.

Security

Chrome's Sandboxing prevents malware automatically installing on your computer or affecting other browser tabs. Chrome also has Safe Browsing technology built in with malware and phishing protection that warns you if you encounter a website suspected of containing malicious software/activity. Regular automatic updates ensure security features are up to date and effective.

Customization

A vast selection of apps, extensions, themes and settings make your browsing experience unique to you. Improve productivity, security, navigation speed, pretty much anything you can think of with apps and extensions from the Google Chrome Store. Install themes created by top artists or make your own using mychrometheme.com. Sign in with your Google Account to back up your contacts, preferences, history as well as access all your Google tools with a single login.

The program provider has restricted distribution of older versions of this product. FileHippo apologises for any inconvenience caused.

(Open Source)

Performance. Firefox is built on top of the powerful new Gecko platform, resulting in a safer, easier to use and more personal product.

Security. Firefox raises the bar for security. The new malware and phishing protection helps protect from viruses, worms, trojans and spyware to keep people safe on the Web.

Customization. Everyone uses the Web differently, and Firefox lets users customize their browser with more than 5,000 add-ons.
