My Programming Windows series looks at how Windows and advancements in Windows were reactions to both competitors and programming trends of the day.

App pick of the week: Not Chrome

It’s time to move away from Google Chrome. I recommend Edge for Windows 7, 8, 10, and Mac, or Firefox if you’re less adventurous. Or Brave or Opera if you’re really adventurous. Be sure to turn off third-party cookie tracking.

Enterprise pick of the week: Adobe Document Cloud PDF Experience for Office 365 web app

For years, Office 365 business users were complaining about not being able to view, share and edit PDFs without downloading files first. Finally, problem solved.
