These are some of the most installed applications when we get a new computer

There are applications that we all install every time we get our hands on a computer. Those applications that start to coexist with each other once we have unpacked or installed our equipment and that will be useful to us on a day-to-day basis.

There are applications for all tastes, as many as there are users, but among all of them we can say that there is a small group in which many users match. We only have to ask around us to find out which is the favorite application or applications of each user and we can find some surprises.

And we have done that, asking and asking and thus obtain a list of applications that despite the passage of operating systems, of The arrival of Windows 10 and its integrated solutions (Microsoft Edge, Outlook, Skype...) are in high demand by a wide group of users.

These are some of the programs most installed by users each time they are made with a new computer:

Google Chrome

It has defenders and detractors. They accuse it of excessive RAM consumption, slowness in some cases, but we cannot deny that we are facing the king of search engines. Despite the presence (and good work) of Edge in Windows 10, Chrome continues to be more than sought after and installed by a good number of users thanks to the integration options it offers with Google applications

Spotify

It is the most popular _streaming_ music listening service. There are other options but none are as popular and we are talking about a service whose _premium_ version requires a monthly payment of 9.99 euros. However, the family mode and the possibility of using it on different devices along with its huge catalog of artists and songs make it one of the fixtures.

Tor

With all the concerns raised by government surveillance and the privacy of our highly valued data by companies, more and more people are looking for ways to protect their privacy while time to browse on the web and that's what Tor allows us to do.

All browsers, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari and to a lesser extent Firefox, leave a trace that we can eliminate with Tor. Tor is a tool that hides the origin and destination of all the traffic we generate so that nobody can identify us and know what we see and from where.

And we can do all this without having to be a computer expert or an advanced user since you only have to download the browser from your website(very similar to Firefox) injected with the power of the Tor network to hide all traffic passing through it.

Messaging clients are practically essential in daily life and applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram are a landline on mobile phones. In this sense, it was a matter of time before they made the leap to the PC and that is what we can do with Telegram Desktop for Windows 10.

Telegram Desktop for Windows 10 has an interface very typical of the new operating system from those of Redmond to which is also added a renewed notification system and the functionality to block users from their profile.
