Ninite
Our pickOne installer for many apps, says no to all bundled junk for you.
What is the safest way to install free apps on Windows?
Ninite is the safest way to install popular free apps on Windows. Tick the apps you want and it installs them all at once, automatically declining toolbars and bundled extras. For more control, Windows has winget built in; UniGetUI gives it a simple window. Download other apps only from the developer's own site.
