I haven't tested Dopamine , really, but it has consistently made it into top players lists around the web mainly because it can manage large music collections. Moreover, the UI looks cool, the...

Further reporting regarding UltraSurf found in a NPR political piece: An initial security audit of Ultrasurf commissioned by the State Department, however, reflected significant problems with the software, which was still relying on technologies that were considered cutting edge in 2013.
