Vivaldi, from what I've used, has the Bing search engine default, so you probably are going to change to Google. Also, it can have a bit of a learning curve compared to other browsers.
Also, if you have a Microsoft OneDrive account, and you save files to OneDrive when using Windows 10, at startup, ShareX's keybindings conflict with OneDrive. By the way, if your system only allows downloading software from the Microsoft Store, there luckily is a VLC Media Player in there (however DVD and Blu-Ray do not play).
BitWarden is a great password manager! I recently switched to it so I haven't had much time to use it, but it seems promising compared to the other subscription-based password managers.
Inkscape just got its 1.0 update, which made it look much more modern! You can design amazing graphics with it, and you'll never leave this program.
ShotCut is a good video editor if you need basic features with great filters! This free software is extremely easy to use!
Blender is one of the best FOSS animation programs available. You have 3D animation AND 2D animation packed into it, and there's also a built in video editor. The program is jam-packed with features, which means that it can be slightly overwhelming for newer users.
VirtualBox is great if you want to test out software which you suspect could be malware, and makes up for a good lot of fun to see what happens when you do weird stuff to a Computer. It's also great for using an Operating System you are unsure of switching to, eg. a Linux Distribution, and testing it out to see whether it works for you!

browser: Chrome since almost everything else is based on _Chromium._
office suite: Google Docs, but save locally
screencap: one of the trillion methods already built-in Windows 10
screen recorder: OBS
media player: VLC, there really is nothing in its league after all these years
antivirus/malware: built-in windows defender is good enough, SpyBot for malware
password manager: ugh...encrypt & backup your files and don't save anything to the cloud
image editor: Sumopaint. GIMP is heavy on resources & has a steep learning curve = garbage
vector graphics: Inkscape
video editor/3D graphics toolsets: Blender, followed by Openshot and Shotcut. Da Vinci is shareware, it's not all free.
virtualization software: VirtualBox is the only complete option unless you want to pay for VMware

Others:
F-Secure Key - easy to use password app / free version is fine
Glary Utilities - great general system - to clean out the crap
Brave Browser - fast, lightweight and more security focused
FileZilla - ftp
Sublime Text - great for authoring/editing html
Speccy - useful for a detailed overview of your system hardware
Foobar 2000 - the only music player I have used for many years / lightweight & no hassle
Audacity - Audio editing
Faststone Image Viewer - what it says, but lots of features

Over the years... Yes, you have. Thanks again. I look forward to seeing if there's something I've missed. There usually is. I appreciate your work.
