Here is some software that I recommend!

1. Web Browser = Google Chrome

Google Chrome is my current weapon of choice

It used to be firefox…

2. Chrome Extensions:

• adblock
• lastpass
• ActiveInbox for Gmail™?
• Better Gmail (enable row highlight and attachment icons)
• Google Tasks

2. Password Management = Lastpass

Lastpass is awesome and its free. I have yet to try the paid version ($12 / year), i am tempted as it can then be used on my iphone.
