Alternative Browsers

Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured browser for Windows that makes browsing more efficient than ever before. Firefox includes popup blocking; a tab-browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window; integrated Google searching; simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively; a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser; and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online.
Download: http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2356_4-10208565.html?tag=txt

Mozilla features fully compliant standards support, including HTML 4.0, XML, CSS, and DOM, and is small, fast, and modular. Since its inception, Mozilla has been built as an open-source product, meaning the source code is publicly available. Mozilla's interface employs the standard browsing paradigm with Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons. It is skinnable, meaning you can download new looks for it. It features the ability to disable unrequested pop-up windows on Web sites. It also lets you open multiple browser windows and display multiple Web pages in a single tabbed window at the same time. Download: http://www.download.com/Mozilla/3000-2356_4-10117877.html?tag=txt


In addition to high-speed browsing and instant messaging capabilities, Netscape features one-click searching from the address bar; Quick Launch, which reduces the browser start-up time; Click-to-Search, which allows users to select a word within a Web page and conveniently search; improved instant messaging, including support for Buddy Icons, file transfers, and buddy alerts; tabbed browsing, allowing users to view multiple Web pages in a single browser window; plus much more. Netscape 7.1 offers improved pop-up controls and security, making it one of the most secure browsers on the Internet. New features introduced are spam filtering, customized searches, improved keyword navigation, automatic image sizing, virus scanning, and Netscape Radio Plus. Note: The Download Now link will download a small (262KB) installation file to your computer. Remain connected to the Internet and double-click the installation file to complete installation.

Opera is a fast, user-friendly, and highly versatile Internet browser that includes a newsreader, integrated search, and an M2 e-mail client. The keyboard plays an integral role in surfing, making Web navigation easy with Fast Forward and Rewind buttons for expedited navigation. You can run multiple windows even at start-up, and special features are included for users with disabilities. The standards support in Opera 7 has been improved. It also handles nonstandard pages using DHTML and includes password and cookie managers, improved drag-and-drop support, a floating hot list, user profiles, and a host of other features, such as an integrated pop-up stopper and skin support.

[destiny_star2006]

Wow what a rather big list that is lol!
Very informative thanks very much my pc will be ace once I've finished on this list!!!!

[Kletskous]

Wow if I see that long list I am so happy that I use no Windows but Ubuntu Linux an have nothing to do with virus, spyware and all that stuff.

Best of all Ubuntu is free operating system and gets you all the software you need.

Hmmm, so you run Linux without antivirus and antispyware software? Nice... what's your IP address? :twisted: Viruses for Linux do exist, they are simply less common, because the operating system is less commonly deployed.

[edhan]

This is the most comprehensive list I ever come across. Thank you very much for taking your time and effort to list them here. It is definitely a good reference & benefit to everyone.

[rose77mary77]

Wenwilder article is very good and usefull to all internet connection holders, i got vast knowledge from her article....................

[MarkGatESS]

Thank you for posting this huge list. I was in search of a good, free firewall for my WinXP Pro laptop and hit on this from my search criteria.

However, just in the list of firewall software I found some dead links and redirects.

These do not have access to any firewall software (either dead or goes to main page of company):
Intrusion Catcher Firewall (dead)
Kerio Personal Firewall (all links - either custom "Page Not Found" or no mention of firewall)
Tiny Personal Firewall (dead)
WyvernWorks Firewall 2003 (goes to "site under construction" for a web hosting service)ZoneAlarm is still active, just that the zonelabs.com redirects to zonealarm.com.

Also, I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I was under the impression that this was a list of free software? All the other active links for firewall software were all shareware (free to try for a set time or with limited access). Perhaps it's just me, but when I think of free I think of completely free - not trials or limited-access. :oops:

I haven't checked any of the other links in the list because I was only looking for a firewall, but if others can (or have the time to) check the other links to update the list, it would be a pretty good idea.

[sushil]

wow, that are too many.
that is greatest post. thanks a lot for that post.

can you tell me that which software is the best.

[joyblogs]

There are so many suggestion here..Hope there are also a
solutions included...:)

[MichaelB]

Thanks! I installed Ad-Aware, great resource and list!

[jayparker90]

I use some of them from your list
the antivirus software and the anti spywares i use
but the softwares you have mentioned are all free and on trial version i guess ?
these softwares are to be used better with the full version and paid for it
i use firefox browser but there is also a new one called Safari has anyone used it ?

[collen angel]

Hey,
thanks you all, for the such a wonderful collection, it really helps me a lot.

[jayparker90]

I have seen this type of list at many places .I have3 not used any of this online software till now but I suppose that they must be good.I have heard that these only scans online without fixing the problem. Is it true?
