TotalFinder plugs into the Finder, and it’s easy to uninstall. Put shortly: it’s the Finder with tabs and dual-panel, but it’s the Finder. The 1.0 version of TotalFinder came out two days ago, I reviewed it here. It’s fast, a major new version is released every six weeks and it’s got state-of-the-art support for Google services, including sync for…well, everything. This is pretty obvious, isn’t it? I’ve been jumping around from Chrome to Safari and Firefox for a few months, but Chrome is the browser I always come back to. These are not my favorite apps: these are first 25 Mac applications I install every time I have a fresh OS to play with, and they’re pretty great. It’s not a huge roundup, and it’s not for every one. This list, which by no means used to exist on a physical side, is now embedded below for future reference (either mine, or my friends’) and you, who may find a couple of hidden gems in there. ![]() Over the years I created some sort of personal list of the first apps I install on a fresh new Mac every single time, right after the Network preferences are set up and ready to go. A good friend of mine was so used to Firefox I had to bet (I’m serious) that he would like Safari more if only he gave it a chance. Having to deal with installations and restores, I’ve come to the point where I know exactly which apps to install depending on what that user needs, and how. This is the usual chain of events in a life of a standard OS X geek. ![]() In fact, I’m quite proud of all those friends of mine I’ve managed to convince to get on the other side, but I’m even more proud of them because now they’re teaching the basics to someone else. That’s just the usual life of a OS X geek in a place where people are scared of leaving their Windows PCs, but really would like to get a Mac. Over the years I’ve had to mess with many OS X installations, backups, failures and restores.
