Mozilla Firefox 3.5

RRP: $0.00

If you're a Firefox user, the upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 3.5 is a no-brainer. Browsing the web is significantly faster, the ability to re-open previously closed tabs and windows is a major improvement, and as for PrivateBrowsing... we won't delve into your personal life, but if you've got a need to keep some of your browsing a secret, you'll want this feature.

Opera Software Unite

RRP: $0.00

While Opera Unite is not really a revolutionary new idea, it could be useful — if properly done. This is an alpha version, so one hopes that Opera will radically improve Unite's security — otherwise, this could be a security fiasco. Meanwhile, if you want to share files but you don't want to use a third-party service, go to a web hosting company and set up your own website. It's almost as easy to do as with Unite and it's a heck of a lot safer.

Apple Safari 4

RRP: $0.00

Safari 4 has come out of its short beta period to blossom as a remarkably attractive and well featured modern web browser. For Windows users, Safari has previously been something of an also-ran behind Firefox and IE, but with Safari 4, the browser could catch up on XP to Windows 7 systems too. Safari 4 is extremely fast in its page rendering thanks to the refined WebKit engine, and offers some genuinely useful user interface elements which make finding sites quicker and browsing a more comfortable experience.

Google Chrome for Mac

RRP: $0.00

Overall, this early preview version of Google Chrome for Mac looks and feels just about right, although it has quite a long way to go before it can make it mainstream or become your default browser. Keep in mind that this version is not for general use.

Wolfram Alpha LLC Wolfram Alpha

RRP: $0.00

Wolfram Alpha is fun to play with, and introduces an original format for finding information on the web. As it currently stands, it may be useful for mathematical and scientific research. However, until it aggregates a lot more data, and learns to handle more complex user queries, this interesting experiment is no danger to Google.

Against Intuition WOT

RRP: $0.00

An excellent, free tool. There's really no reason not to try WOT (Web of Trust).

Postbox, Inc. Postbox

RRP: $0.00

Postbox offers plenty of useful features that might entice you to give it a whirl. Unlike the open-source Thunderbird, however, Postbox is made by a for-profit company.

Mozilla Fennec

RRP: $0.00

It looks as though Mozilla Fennec may prove a worthy rival to Opera Mini. If you're dying for a sneak peak at Fennec you can download the real thing for the Nokia N810 tablet or emulators for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.

INTSPEI Cloudlet Team Search Cloudlet

RRP: $0.00

In essence, Search Cloudlet provides fast, easy and all-at-once access to advanced search options (such as using a site: modifier in your term) that we can already use but don't usually bother with. It won't enhance all your searches, and it does add some textual clutter that could take some getting used to. But if you find yourself having to often refine or customise searches, this free tool could have real value.

Jamendo Jamendo

RRP: $0.00

It may not be mainstream, but Jamendo will certainly encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0

RRP: $0.00

Although it probably won't convince many Firefox users to jump ship, Internet Explorer 8.0 Release Candidate 1 shows promise, and may be worth considering for people who have not yet solidified their browser loyalties. (Keep an eye out for our report on the final release of IE 8.)

McAfee Site Advisor with Secure Search

RRP: $0.00

If you stick with Google, Secure Search will have little benefit. But you can still access the ratings. McAfee Site Advisor remains worth installing — and it is free, after all.

Newzie Newzie

RRP: $0.00

If you currently use an RSS reader and want to see what else is out there, it's definitely worth your time to export your feeds to an OPML file and give Newzie a whirl.

Maxthon 2.1

RRP: $0.00

If you're a power user, you can get used to some Microsoft Internet Explorer-related eccentricities. If you're looking for the most features in a Web browser, live with Maxthon 2.1 a while, and you may learn to love it.
