Below we present selected subcategories along with the most interesting representatives.
Internet Browsers

Google Chrome – a free application for browsing websites that appeared in 2008 and today, thanks to its advantages, is one of the most popular. What is the reason for its success? It is above all fast and easy to use.
Opera – also available for free download, a very popular web browser. You can install it on all current system platforms Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux.
It is also worth mentioning other similar programs, such as Mozilla Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, Safari or Maxthon.
Browser Add-ons
The Internet browsers themselves are functional and useful for performing many tasks, but thanks to the right extensions, they can do more. Here are examples of known add-ons:
Adobe Flash Player – an essential extension for playing movies, animations, running web applications and games directly in a web browser.
Adblock Plus – an extension that allows you to hide sometimes very invasive ads displayed on websites.

Other interesting communicators include GaduGadu, WhatsApp, Discord, and TeamSpeak.
Programs for Establishing Remote Access

The flagship program of this type is TeamViewer, which allows you to establish an internet connection with another computer or server. It is available for many operating systems, including mobile ones.
