Notepad++: Help us to take down the parasite website

18 comments

How do people even find the legitimate sites for Win apps these days? I mostly can't. Even the legitimate github repos occasionally link to Sourceforge wtf
- I often take the link from the project's Wikipedia page if it's big enough to have one.
  
  Well, actually, anybody can edit Wikipedia and the page updates immediately.
  
  Also alternativeto.net
- winget maybe?
  
  +1, also chocolatey
  
  Off topic, but how are you meant to pronounce winget? Win-get or wing-et?
- I'm glad I got most sites I download programs for memorized or have the programs already on my hard drive
- Sourceforge has stopped distributing adware installers again since they changed ownership a few years ago.
- I don't. I try to migrate over to Linux and the there is the Paketmanager which has a GUI. I guess you could do the same with the store?
  
  The Microsoft Store adds a lot of restrictions to their programs (example of Python's problems).
I am a regular Notepad++ user. Thanks, didn't know about that copy cat and just reported as they requested.
They should register a trade mark.
Interesting, and terrible of these impostors to do. Done! Now, where's the Internet police to take this ten steps further?
