EditPlus. Been using it for almost 20 years now. Hands down the best software for text editing I have ever used. It's lighter than Notepad++. Editplus along with Faststine viewer is the reason I am not moving to Mac as my primary OS.

Oh yes! I have a desktop software and MS defender sometimes flags it as unsafe. Mostly happens after I release a new version. It scares away new users, even existing users get spooked. Have to file a report and have to send customers scan r

I tried and it worked. Then I disabled extensions one by one and found the culprit. Firefox is back as my default browser. Feels like I am back home. :D

VCs know blockchain has no use case. They are only in it to flip the tokens to starry eyed idiots and make most of their money back without a real IPO or dilution.
