MinGW Distro - nuwen.net[^]
MinGW + boost + many other libraries. Nice job by the guy who takes care of the MSVC C/C++ runtime.

Another way to obtain a gcc compiler for Windows is to install Bloodshed C++ environment that comes with MinGW64 and a great IDE.
You can use winget:
PS C:\Users\User> winget search gcc
Nome Id Versione Corrispondenza Origine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CrossWorks for ARM Rowley.CrossWorks 4.8 Tag: GCC winget
Embarcadero Dev-C++ Bloodshed.Dev-C++ 6.3 Tag: gcc winget
GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain Arm.GnuArmEmbeddedToolchain 10-2021.07 Tag: gcc winget
libjpeg-turbo SDK (GCC) libjpeg-turbo.libjpeg-turbo-gcc 2.1.1 winget
Go Programming Language GoLang.Go 1.17.2 Tag: gccgp winget
PS C:\Users\User>winget install Bloodshed.Dev-C++
...
or use the installer form Embarcadero:

If you are interested in give a try to clang for windows, I would like to suggest you install https://www.ultimatepp.org/ which comes with clang 10 for Windows.
PS C:\Users\User> C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\upp\bin\clang\bin\clang++.exe --version
clang version 10.0.0 (https:

You can.
Or you can alternatively download an archive with all the bits you need.

That one I had not seen before. I'll give it a go on my other machine.

Mikee should try new things! 
I've been using Vivaldi for over 4 years as a primary browser. It is based on Chromium and I've had no problems with page rendering, and it's successfully installed the extensions I've tried. Apparently extensions that use the original Chromium I/F may not work if it's something Vivaldi changed.
Built-in ad, pop-up, and tracker blocking caught my initial attention. Bookmark management is superior to other browsers I've tried, and the syncing works flawlessly IME. Tab and session management are superior. I tried the email client, didn't care for it and haven't checked it in years, and haven't used the calendar.

A browser has one job, yet that one does at least three?

I use Vivaldi a bit on Android, it's good. But my primary on Android is Opera.
On desktop, I use Firefox almost exclusively.
Cheers,
Vikram.

I use Opera on Windows and like it very much

I tried it for a while but at the time it was fairly identical to Chrome so I didn't bother learning new quirks.

A friend of mine used it. I think he still does.

I would be more inclined to try it if it did not have a mail and calendar. I have no use for those in a browser.

You can disable the mail and calendar features. When you first install, it takes you through a wizard where you can choose whether you want those features. I think it's a good browser, I like it!

Vivaldi is by no means a "new browser". Wikipedia says it came out in April 2016.
It's Chromium-based. So rendering shouldn't be any better or worse than Chrome's.
As for its other features...I have no idea.

It's not very new. Been using it for several years and like it. When I pay attention to it, I always find it has far better memory usage than Firefox. And the built-in mouse gestures are fantastic, because you can close pages before they load, unlike Firefox (or at least the extension I used in it). The tab stacking is also really useful sometimes, as is the ability to save and restore sessions. (And 'sessions' aren't an all-or-nothing proposition - you can open a saved session in a new window and keep the old window going.) Sessions may be available in other browsers, I haven't checked but don't recall it.
The only downfall I've seen is it does a piss poor job of printing web pages. I just open them in Firefox for that job, when I seldom need it.

Tried it, it felt good, but if you can't install extensions you're used to, then it's losing scores. Staying with Opera and Firefox.

Every Chrome extension I've wanted to add has worked...

I am using it now - it is my main browser.
Likes: It is Chrome, able to use most Chrome add-ons/extensions. It has a bookmarks panel, downloads panel etc (like Firefox, my previous browser of choice which has stopped working with quite a few sites now). Sync seems to work well - something else that Firefox used to be good at but which now is unreliable. Private mode works well.
Dislikes: it is Chrome so tends to - occasionally - use all available compute power to play some pop-up or other etc, but UBlock takes care of most of that. Lack of diversity in browser engines is not good for the community as a whole, but you need the compatability (remember how many sites would only work with IE?).

Oh, and I should add that I have tried umpteen browsers over the years - some are/were trojans, like Brave, others - despite being chrome based - are often not really compatible. Some, like Opera, still struggle with compatibility even after changing engines.
