  • Opera Software

1/25/17

Opera is a solid and fast browser. I can install most chrome extensions with the Opera extension "Download Chrome Extension", sync my settings with Opera Account, the Speed Dial is awesome and can be customized, it works on Windows, Mac, Linux and there are mobile versions for Android and iOS as well. The News section is an easy way to access my favorite news sites. It's an awesome browser without the bloat of Firefox and Chrome and works way better than Edge and the old IE.

What I find especially valuable is the built-in adblocker and the VPN with server locations spread across the globe and the tab preview looks awesome.

It's an exceptional, very user-friendly with lots of functions, features and settings. It's one of the best alternative broswers and that's not an alternative fact ;)

Tip for consumers:
Enable Developer Mode to get additional tools like Task Manager and to check what Plug-Ins are installed

  • Hard Rhino

1/23/17

Hard Rhino is one of those online retailers that sell supplements in bulk form, mostly powder. I ordered 25 kg (approx. 55 lbs) of ascorbic acid. The shipment arrived after a week as expected. My big, heavy box arrived in perfect condition. What I also noticed is that it arrived in very fresh condition, practically straight from the plant as I saw that Hard Rhino used the original manufacturer's box and the original seal was not broken. This way I know the exact origin and know it's really fresh. Not many retailers do that. I prefer to receive a product in the original manufacturer's packaging and this way Hard Rhino doesn't waste resources in private labelling the product and can sell it at a lower price. In my opinion, a great company for bulk supplements. It's worth to take a look. The prices are similar to other bulk supplement sellers but some are the lowest I could find online, especially true for the big bulk sizes of 10 kilos (20+ lb) and beyond. It's definitely worth a look when shopping for supplements in bulk.

  • BeFrugal

1/10/17

A formidable site to earn cashback. It's one of my favorites. The tracking is fast and reliable and I also have coupons at my disposal which I can use along with my cashback. I also love the nice website of BeFrugal. It's very easy to keep track of all my transactions and earnings. Even better, I get a 3% bonus if I choose Amazon Gift Card as payment method. I highly recommend BeFrugal. I've been using it for a long time. As a first timer, you may receive postal card and a phone call to confirm your address. That may have changed but that's what I needed to do to get my first payment. Great cashback site, period.

  • VirtualBox

12/28/16

Virtualbox is a great way to learn and figure out what a program actually does and behave without affecting my actual system. I can see what a program does in a "safe space" and when everything goes downhill, I don't have to worry as it is just a virtual environment.

Tip for consumers:
Virtualbox just needs an iso image, not the actual CD or DVD to run a live system, so you can save on disks ;)

  • Public Broadcasting Service

12/27/16

PBS offers unique documentaries and detailed reports of current affairs. I love NOVA, Nature and occasionally Frontline. However, what I can't comprehend is that lately my local PBS station airs reruns of boring British sitcoms that even the Brits don't watch. Why not Mr Bean or Baldy Man or the good ol' Benny Hill Show? No, PBS reruns garbage like "The Last of the Summer Wine" and similar. I would have given 5 starts but those outdated, boring, never been fun sitcoms just made me take one star off.

  • BulkSupplements.com

12/26/16

BulkSupplements is my go-to store when I need supps on bulk quantity like BCAA powder. I received my 25 kilo bag of BCAA in original packaging from the manufacturer. The powder arrived in excellent condition, well protected and sealed and very fresh. Thanks to this company, I save hundreds of dollars yearly. Will buy from them again.

  • WebMD

12/22/16

I often go to WebMD if I have an ailment I'm unsure what it is. The symptom checker is quite handy and I love how detailed and clear the information is. Clear enough that I even can understand it.

  • Mozilla

12/5/16

I love the products from Mozilla. I've been using Firefox for ages. Lots of add-ons and very stable.

  • NaturalNews

11/17/16

NaturalNews gets worse and worse. The first time I discovered this site years ago, it was somewhat OK. However, during the years, the author thought to infuse his worldview and political agenda into the "news" articles. What frightens me is that there seems to be a whole lot of people who believe that crap.

The fearmongering and the spread of half-thruths and flat out lies this site spreads is ridiculous. A simple Google search and basic fact-checking debunks 99.9% of all claims by NaturalNews. Lately, the guy behind this site promotes an "alternative" search engine that indexes search results from sites that contain similar pseudo-science, pseudo-news, hysteria and other garbage. This weirdo should know that there are already dozens of alternatives to Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. I would recommend DuckDuckGo. Just try out GoodGopher and compare the crappy results you get.

The only thing positive I can mention is that I learned about a new RO water filter that works pretty well. Nonetheless, just one star. I simply hate how this supposed health and wellness site is full of political opinion and fake news.

PS: There is a good article about the rise of so-called "truther" sites here: https://www.exposingtruth.com/bad-sources-spread-pseudscience/

Tip for consumers:
If you like to be entertained by fake news and one-sided, biased political opinion, this site is for you. You won't find much practical health advice.

  • Sally Beauty

6/27/16

Last week I bought two hair color cremes and received as a free bonus a developer for each. The customer service is very helpful and helped me find the right products. The return service is fast and painless. 85% of the products I purchased from this store are great and of high quality. Rare are the occasions I meet a product that's bad. Yet, I don't worry much about that as I can return stuff easily without hassle. Sally Beauty is definitely worth a visit if you need beauty supplies.

Tip for consumers:
Check out how many free (bonus) products I got from my last order in the picture I uploaded :D

  • CulturesForHealth

4/22/16

If you're a newbie in food fermenting, I highly recommend Cultures for Health. It provides very active cultures and ship them fast to you. I bought vegan yogurt culture, tempeh starter and Miso. The yogurt and tempeh starter never failed me, I can't tell about the Miso starter as I haven't had the time testing it so far. As a newbie, I was a bit unsure about the yogurt getting ready so I contacted customer service through chat (no phone support), good thing is I never had to wait for a live person. Customer service simply told me to wait 2 - 4 hours more. He was right. The yogurt was great after almost 16 hours. I had also other questions and got them answered fast. The chat support is really very responsive and professional. Also all products I received come with very easy to follow and detailed instructions so it's almost foolproof ;)

Tip for consumers:
Use live chat for quick support

  • Hoxx

4/21/16

Recently, I discovered Hoxx.com when I was looking for a VPN service so I could watch a BBC program on Firefox. I experienced no lagging while streaming video. I also use it on my laptop while commuting to safely connect to public wi-fi. Let me tell you that there are over 50 servers spread across the globe! The installation is dead simple: simply install the add on for Firefox or other browser like Chrome and you're done. Simply go to Hoxx.com/download and there you find the right extension for your browser. There's also an extension for Chrome but I mainly use Firefox. So if you need some privacy or unblock a site, use Hoxx, it's awesome and you will love it like I do. And it's so easy to choose a location or to turn it on/off Hoxx.

Tip for consumers:
Check out the nice menu provided by Hoxx to change server

  • Life Extension

4/20/16

I've been a Life Extension member for over 6 years Shipment is very fast. What I especially like about Life Extension is its annual blood test sale, the informative monthly magazine with its latest health news and the fact you can health advisors for free to discuss your health issues or to review your blood work.

Tip for consumers:
Join the Healthy Rewards Premier membership. There's a $50 "fee" but you get $49.95 back in store credit which you can immediately use on your order, so it's actually just a nickel to join :)

I'm always satisfied with the products and services provided by Costco. You get high quality items at a low price, generous return policy and you can't find almonds at a better price than at this store :D

  • Dell

4/20/16

I had some annoying issues with my Inspiron Desktop but got it solved quickly with Dell's customer service. I got the motherboard replaced and now my PC is working fine. It's rare to see a company that still provides such excellent customer service where they take even the time to call you and follow up on your issue making sure everything is resolved. This makes more likely and confident to buy another Dell down the road.

RetailMeNot saved me lots of $$$ over the years. I don't have to hunt down coupons or sign up for spammy newsletters filling up my inbox. I just go to RetailMeNot.

I bought a Channel Master antenna and really happy with it. It picks up the channels very well.
