OpenPuff – While people won’t have immediate access to encrypted files, they may eventually find a brute force way to decrypt it, or force you to share the password. For cases like those, you’ll not only want to encrypt, but hide the data. OpenPuff allows you to do this with professional-strength steganography.

NoMoreiTunes – iTunes is one of the most used apps for music lovers and app downloaders. But it can also be slow and clunky. For me, I prefer apps not to hover and stick around when I don’t need it. If you accidentally open iTunes from Safari, you can download NoMoreiTunes. This extension blocks iTunes from launching when you click a link.

    You can add clocks for different timezones in Windows 7 natively, so why do you need third party solutions? I have GMT+7(My country’s timezone), Pasific Time (to keep up with my online friends), and GMT+9(Tokyo timezone) running together and easily reachable in the taskbar.
