It optimizes games on startup to make them run smoother.

Game Booster is really only helpful on machines that are absolute crap. All it does is free up memory, update video card drivers (if new ones are released) and a few other small tweaks. It's unnoticeable if you've got a computer that costs more than $500.

Browser

• Chrome
• Firefox

Browser add-on/extension

• Adblock/Adblock Plus
• Dictionary
• YouTube video downloader
• Video DownloadHelper (allows you to download just about any video from any site)

Media player

• VLC
• Media Player Classic (it's like Windows Media Player, but on steroids)
• Quicktime (sometimes .mp4 files are best played with this and not other programs)
• iTunes
• TVersity (stream media files from PC to 360/PS3 - will require codec pack for HD video files)

Random

• Steam (F2P games)
• Adobe Reader
• WinRar/WinZip/7-Zip
• uTorrent
• Daemon Tools Lite (mount image files to ghost drive)
• Skype
• Hamachi (easy-to-use program to setup LAN-type games with friends)

All I can think of at the moment.

Edit.
On home PC, so here is a little more.

• AIM
• GoldWave (best software for making ringtones/editing audio)
• JDownloader
• TeamViewer
• Fraps

Quicktime is a b*tch, I hate it. Also I prefer Virtual CloneDrive over Daemon Tools Lite, but that's just me
