We live in a time where our online lives are every bit as real as our day to day, walking around town lives. Perhaps, for the most digitally connected of us, more real. Fortunately, we also live in a time where we have plentiful access to the best free antivirus software. But is it enough? What about online scams, ransomware, phishing, data tracking, and all the things that could go wrong that nobody thinks about until it is too late? That’s where a paid service can come in and help. However, they’re often too expensive to bother trying or have a free trial that’s too short to be handy when they’re needed. That’s why we really like this deal that gets you an Avast plan at 80% off its normal price for an entire year giving you plenty of chances to encounter places where the software is actually useful before deciding if you want to pay full price for it. Avast is already one of our favorites of the aforementioned free antivirus software provides, so their online security just makes sense for a more complete package. Tap the button below to start getting Avast Premium Security for $16 for a year (instead of $78, a savings of $62) or Avast Ultimate for just $22 for the year (instead of $110, a savings of $88). Or, keep reading to see how they’ll help you.

Why you should try Avast Premium Security or Avast Ultimate

The Avast Premium Security plan gives you malware and virus protection, just like you would expect, but goes further by offering other services. For example, it can protect you against ransomware attacks, help you detect online scams, and even check up on Wi-Fi network security to make sure you’re safe. It also helps with more unusual situations, such as remote access attacks on your PC, phishing sites, and protecting you from fake websites that look like their legitimate counterparts. Avast Ultimate does all of this and then, for the equivalent of just $0.53 more per month (while this deal is on, at least) it also gives you three bonus features: A secure VPN, software to clean and tune up your PC, and anti-tracking assistance to keep your online identity hidden. Put altogether, this package will keep your PC in tip-top shape while also keeping you ultra secure.

If either of these products sound nice to you, this is an excellent time to buy an annual plan. Remember, Avast Premium Security is usually $78 for a year, but you can now get it for just $16, a savings a $62. Likewise, Avast Ultimate is usually $110, but if you get it now you can save $88 and only spend $22. These quick pickups give you a full year to see their advantages, all for about the same cost as a month of your favorite entertainment package.

Your favorite Edge extension may stop working soon as Microsoft follows Chrome’s lead
Microsoft has announced the transition to Manifest V3, gradually phasing out older browser extensions.
Microsoft Edge on PC and Mobile Featured

Microsoft Edge is finally making the same controversial move that Google Chrome did earlier this year, and it could mean the end of some of the browser's most popular ad blockers. Microsoft has announced that Edge is officially transitioning its extensions ecosystem to Manifest Version 3 (MV3), Google's newer extension platform that promises better security, privacy, and performance. As part of that shift, the browser will gradually stop supporting older Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions over the coming months, meaning legacy extensions such as the original uBlock Origin will eventually stop working in Edge.

What is Manifest V3, and why is Microsoft adopting it?

Help, I’m talking to my computer. It’s remarkably convenient and utterly embarrassing.
Oh look, I have become the guy who randomly starts talking while staring at his computer.
Person using a laptop.

A decade ago, Google introduced voice typing with the Gboard app on Android, and a year later, the perk landed on iPhones with the keyboard app. I never paid much attention to it. The biggest reason was that it was just not accurate. 

The big promise was a whole new way of interacting with our phones, but it was never good enough to make me quit tapping, or swiping on an on-screen keyboard. Fast forward to 2026, I'm talking to my computer. In fact, this whole article was dictated and copy-pasted in WordPress.
