On Reddit, users compiled a list of the most useful websites that hardly anyone knows about. Some of these sites will save you a ton of time and money!
1
Deepl.com - Best translator I’ve found. It’s quite intuitive and even translates idioms and slang. They’ve got around 20 languages as of their most recent update.
2
MyFridgeFood.com - gives you recipes based on what's in your fridge!

Radio.garden - lets you hear radios live from all around the world.

If you're interested in languages or trying to learn a new language I recommend Forvo.com, you can look up a word and hear native speakers pronounce it. It's based on volunteers uploading their recordings of the various words. It's pretty useful for when you're working on your pronunciation.

MyNoise.net - It's an archive of customizable sound generators with everything from music, nature sounds, sound-canceling, ambiances, and meditative drones, etc. I focus best with some kind of white noise, and this website has a ton to choose from and it is free. My favorite feature is the customizable, animated sliders so you can listen to storms that ebb and grow automatically. It is great for TTRPGs too. The sound engineer who runs it has put together all kinds of specific settings like churches, cities, forests, faires, dungeons, etc. Seriously, people should check it out
10
Terms of Service, Didn’t Read summarizes terms of service and rates them for privacy.
11
IDRansomware - If you ever get Ransomware in your computer you can take an encrypted file and out it into this website and it will tell you if any security researchers have cracked it so you can get your files back. And if it hasn't been cracked you can sign up for email notification so when it is cracked you get an email. I haven’t used it but someday it might save me or you.

Step by step instructions, and you can filter dietary restrictions. I love it! I go back to it whenever I get in a food rut.And it's free!
