Every week, we share a number of downloads for all platforms to help you get things done. Here were the top downloads from this week.
BitTorrent is still a great way to transfer large files, but it’s only as convenient and efficient as the application you use to seed and download them. This week, we’re looking at five of the best BitTorrent clients, based on your nominations.
Hoopla Digital, one of our picks for best audiobook services , will now let you check out over 5,509 ebooks and 579 comics for free. All you need is a library card.
Android ( rooted with Xposed ): Some Android apps, like Gmail, may show that you have multiple unread notificationsâ€"but they won’t tell you how many. Notification Count is an Xposed module for rooted phones that adds a number badge to all your notifications.
Android: Adblock Plus is a great browser extension, and the company has tons of useful other services . Today, it gets one more. The company has announced a new, standalone browserâ€"based on Firefoxâ€"that has ad blocking built in.
OS X/iOS: If you have a relatively recent Mac and an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch equipped with TouchID, Apple’s fingerprint-reading security feature, MacID lets you turn your mobile device into a key that can unlock your Macâ€"when you’re nearby and want to use it, of course.
Chrome: Sharing links via the internet is easy. Sharing in person is still surprisingly difficult. Google Tone aims to make it easier to pass a link around a meeting table by emitting an audible code that your browser can hear and interpret. That means anyone within earshot can grab the link.
Want to edit Word, Excel, or PowerPoint docs from your Android phone? You can now test them out in the new Office Preview apps.
Chrome: It’s generally a bad idea to stare at bright lights late at night before bed, yet we all do it way too much. Chrome extension Mata allows you to make your bad habit a little less harsh by inverting the pages you read into darker, eye-friendly versions for nighttime reading.
