Ninite is always free for home users. It's used by IT professionals to deal with the dozens/hundreds/thousands of computers they're responsible for at their companies, and their companies pay for "Pro" licenses so that they're able to install/update on dozens/hundreds/thousands of computers remotely, from their IT Desks. (Or as they say, offering the Pro version: "Manage
all your machines on the web with Ninite Pro.") But a Regular Ol' Person at home can use the free version forever.
Or as
the Ninite website says:

Our website is free for home use (money-wise, but also free of ads and junkware) because Pro users keep Ninite running.

"Apps" (or "applications") are also called "programs" on computers. When smartphones came around, the term "app" started to mean "the tiny programs that only run on smartphones, not on computers" but now, as the lines between those blur, we're starting to use "apps" for both again. Also, "apps" can mean "appetizers," like wings or mozz sticks or 'tater skins, but not in your computer.
"Extensions" are little programs that are upgrades to web browsers, nothing more and nothing less. They're ways to customize your web browser, and for a Chromebook user, they can be pretty helpful. But like everything else on the Web, they might be malicious, so only use ones that are very popular and well-regarded.
If your phone is yelling at you that you need more space, then yeah, you should probably scrub some photos/videos from it. Back up the ones you wanna keep, though. There's likely a button on the screen that's yelling at you to free up some space that will, if pushed, free up some space. Be sure to back up any photos you don't already have copies of elsewhere before pushing that button, if you wanna be sure you don't lose them. Once you get a smidge more room on your phone, you might think about downloading CCleaner (or something like it) from your app store; even the free version will be helpful in reclaiming free space.
And here's a quick-and-easy one, for pinning Settings to the Taskbar: (Left-)Click the "Start" icon (Windows logo, lower left corner) to call up the Start Menu; Right-Click the "Settings" icon (little eight-toothed gear on the left side of the pop-up menu, just above the "Power" icon), select "More >", select "Pin to Taskbar." If you wanna slide it around to a new position in your Taskbar lineup, click-and-drag it there. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.
