Sizester – Digital images that have a large resolution capture all the details but come with a large file size. While this might not be a big problem when it comes to storing images offline, the large file size can be very problematic while sharing the images online with friends. This is where image resizing applications come in handy. However many such apps let you control only the resolution you want to resize the image – you do not have any control over the image quality of the resized image. Here to offer you that control is a desktop application for Windows called Sizester. Read more: Sizester: A Desktop App to Conveniently Resize Images (Windows) (Free Licences)

However, Incognito This! also allows users to switch browsing modes when a specific URL is entered into the URL box in Chrome.
