|---|---|
| firefox "I am now on 4 & it's the best due to security, privacy and plugin choice." |
5 |
| chromium "Fast and with a working AddBlock Plus! Still a few trust issues with Google. Now with improved privacy settings. It's so fast and slick I have to give it a 5. if used with xmarks & lastpass plugins to manage bookmarks and passwords, secure too. (Don't want Google datamining my bookmarks with Sync :/ )" |
5 |
| unetbootin "I love it, used it when I was on Mandriva. (Used to be a bit hit and miss) It works as long as I format the USB drive FAT32 & set the boot flag. Also read the distro instructions for specific install requirements." |
5 |
| avant-window-navigator "I like it, more options, plugins etc. than Docky. Looks good :)" |

| docky "Easy, fast, looks great. Not as many options as awn (avant window navigator) but for some reason I love it! Need to have Gnome or compiz composting turned on." |
