There are a few applications that every tech user–from the IT expert down to those who do little more than email and Solitaire–needs to have in the arsenal. A strong, updated antivirus and anti-malware package is vital, a really powerful, updated browser is a must, and a highly-functional but “runs in the background” cleaner is important.
Did we mention “updated?”
One of the biggest mistakes novice computer users make is installing a suite of protective software and then never thinking about it again, meaning they skip out on the latest upgrades and updates. One of the most popular and powerful tools, CCleaner, has released an update that users have got to see for themselves.
CCleaner, as the name suggests, is quite possibly the world’s most popular freeware tool for clearing the junk, skeletons, and shadows of old files out of your hard drive. Once installed, it will even give you periodic but unobtrusive alerts as to how much disk space you’ve got that’s being chewed up by unused code. The recent update includes a number of corrections or enhancements, including:
But CCleaner doesn’t just keep your system running smoothly and running faster. One of the chief benefits to running a clean like this is that it helps protect your anonymity and your privacy by stripping away all the little markers that your browser and internet use have left behind. In this Wild West of computer privacy that we live in, a little bit more protection around our identities and our behaviors is definitely a good thing.

According to the changelog Mozilla released for Firefox version 44 everyone’s favorite fox based web browser now has Web Push notifications. This latest added trick should save users on battery power, and time.
Enabling the Web Push notification option will, with a user’s permission, allow websites to send messages directly to the desktop, even when the website in question isn’t open. This should prove to be a useful tool, especially for those people who don’t want to ever miss a message or notification from the likes of Gmail, Twitter, and Facebook The best thing about this new addition however is that if Web Pushes aren’t your thing, they can easily be disabled from within the options menu.
Web Push notifications will allow users to close Firefox tabs that aren’t needed, which will save unnecessary CPU time, memory usage, and help prolong battery life.
Mozilla are adamant as well that as with webcams and geolocation, websites will have to ask users to grant access specifically if they want to send notifications. Websites will also be limited by how many push notifications they can send to any one user. Sites that exceed their given quota will have their push abilities disabled automatically.
Firefox has also boosted its security measures for untrusted connections and certificate errors, improving the warning message pages’ users see when they stray close to the edge. As well as this this Fox 44 has added support for the Google created “Brotli” algorithm which will allow data downloaded by Firefox to be up to 25% faster. The Brotli algorithm compresses files so users should see web pages loading faster. This will also help reduce bandwidth which will be handy for those people worried about download limits.
Enhanced Codec Support
Other changes in Firefox 44 are that H.264 is now enabled if the decoder is already on users’ systems, and that WebM/VP9 will be automatically enabled by default if the former isn’t available.
As usual with each new Firefox release, several critical updates have been issued, and vulnerabilities have been addressed. These fixes include an issue with unsafe memory manipulation, some memory safety bugs, a buffer overflow issue with WebGL, and flaws related to some cryptographic protocols.
And finally, while Windows XP and Windows Vista may have been long abandoned by Microsoft, Mozilla haven’t forgotten and have fixed the bug that disabled screensavers when watching videos.
