Google search, Bing search, or Yahoo search. But have you ever tried the DuckDuckGo search? It's a search engine that doesn't track you and has everything (like suggestions, image search, video search, etc.) you expect from a search engine.
There's a very good chance that we end up using only the most popular websites on the web because they are just everywhere. However, it doesn't really mean that they're the best websites on the Internet.
Needless to say, "popular" isn't necessarily the best. And that's how I decided to come up with a list of extremely useful (and probably less-known) websites on the web.
The Fantastic Hundred Websites — For Anyone & Everyone
Whether you're a student, a professional, or a homemaker, I have hand-picked one hundred most useful websites for you --- to get things done, or to spend time with, or to find something interesting. And no, it doesn't include the Facebooks and Amazons of the world.
There was a time when I (and probably you) struggled with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop software on a Windows PC to remotely access someone else's computer. It was a terrible experience and never worked for me as it involved quite a few network settings and protocols --- which I still don't understand much.
And there were few free and premium remote desktop connection managers like LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, etc. at that time. But I was least interested in trying those remote desktop connection managers as it was of no use to me.
Then, with the advent of the smartphone era, I tried remote desktop apps for mobile like Splashtop, PocketCloud, LogMeIn, Join.me, and TeamViewer, etc. and almost all of them failed to impress me. It was simply not the kind of productivity apps that I wanted or even care about.
My impression completely changed when Microsoft and Google introduced their own Remote Desktop apps for web and mobile a few years back. The good thing is... both works perfect and is free without any restriction.
So here is a quick review (plus comparison) of the 3 (and only 3) best remote desktop access software that are free.
1. Chrome Remote Desktop
Chrome Remote Desktop is a Google Chrome app that lets you access all your computer(s) from another computer or from your mobile device(s). It can be used for a variety of purposes like to access your own computer from a remote location or to provide (or get) remote support or to securely access your files or software applications on your computer from a mobile device, and so on.
What I really like about Chrome Remote Desktop is that it's linked to your Google account. So there's no such thing as an extra user id or special codes to access your computer from another device of yours. And the installation and setup is pretty simple. All you need to do is install the Chrome Remote Desktop app on all your devices (computers, tablets, mobiles) and you're good to go.
There are no limits when it comes to free services on the web. Whether you want to watch a movie, listen to music, read books, start a journal, manage your money, create a document online, or share your files online with someone else, clean your computer, and whatnot. There’s always a free service to do…
There are times when you really want to spy (or estimate) another website’s traffic – whether it’s for competitor analysis or fun. But how? Well, there are a variety of free, freemium, and premium marketing tools to check the traffic of any website. So here are eight freemium marketing tools that helps you estimate the…
Google Chrome is much more than just a browser and that’s how it became the web’s favorite internet browser. Here is a quick list of the best Google Chrome extensions in 2021 that is updated frequently.

I have always wanted to list all the Microsoft products and services (just like I did Google's). But Microsoft's products are really diverse in nature and a good percentage of them are actually targeting companies and business users. Therefore I found it difficult to list all the products in an organized way.
Microsoft's products were mostly desktop applications until a few years ago. Now things have changed substantially and Microsoft has been launching a lot of standalone web and mobile apps for individual consumers. This is why I (finally!) decided to list all the Microsoft products and services.
A List Of (Almost) All Microsoft Products, Services, Tools, & Apps
Building 92 at Microsoft
Over 1 billion Windows 10 active users. Over 500 million Windows 10 users. Over 1.2 billion Microsoft Office users. Over 200 million Microsoft 365 users. Over 500 million Outlook users. Over 3 billion Skype minutes a day. Over 669,000 Microsoft Store apps. That’s the stats of Microsoft.
Let me be honest. I didn't even have a vague plan of writing this very blog post. The actual idea was to list all the products, services, and apps by Facebook --- just like I didOver 271 Google Products & Services You Probably Don’t Know.
And I even started writing this blog post with the title "Over 51 Facebook Products & Services You Probably Don’t Know" only to realize later that they don't even have 21 standalone products (including web and mobile apps).
Nevertheless, I'm listing all the products and services and apps offered by Facebook. And you will see that Facebook's dominance comes from just three products apps. Facebook. WhatsApp. Instagram.
As you know, Facebook is the single largest social network out there and is also the second most popular website on the web according to Alexa Top 500 Global Websites (the first being Google + YouTube).
Facebook is not the first social network and yet it's dominating the web 2.0. Just like Google did. Google wasn't the first search engine out there, but it managed to change the way we used the web. Google changed the way we gathered information, and it changed the way we spend our time online.
Facebook did the same. It changed the social networking scene forever and at the same time it crushed several other social networking websites (MySpace, Orkut, Friendster, Hi5, to name a few) and several mobile apps.
So today, I'm listing all the products and services and apps by Facebook. And I will be updating this article as they launch more products or make more acquisitions.
