I've been using KiTTY for a while now which was forked from a slightly older version of PuTTY and seems to have far more features (and bugfixes) http://www.9bi

Saving settings/connections into files which can be sync'd is the killer feature of this fork.

Not to be confused with https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty, a GPU-accelerated terminal for MacOS and Linux.

  When have you ever been cpu-bottlenecked on your SSH session?

    Quite often if you have transparency enabled and have a lot of output. And since stdout is blocking, it _can_ actually affect the performance of programs. (and, anyway, it's about input latency)

Similarly, I usually install ExtraPutty, because I need xmodem support. Still grateful for Simon Tatham's work. Did you know he also made a great collection of puzzles? https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

What's the guarantee that bug/vulnerability fixes in PuTTY are also reflected in KiTTY? Also, how well-tested is the code going into it, considering it's (much?) less popular than PuTTY?

  There's no guarantee of anything - though in the past KiTTY has been quicker to fix things than PuTTY. https://github.com/cyd01/KiTTY https://github.com/cyd01/KiTTY

I second the recommendation above for KiTTY which adds transparency, a feature I find very useful. Be careful not to install by mistake the non-PuTTY based software mentioned below that attempted to hijack the already-in-use "KiTTY" name.
