Privoxy review

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Ad blocking is a controversial subject; much of the content you consume on the Web every day is made possible only thanks to ad revenue--and if everyone blocked ads, websites may have to use other means to generate revenue, such as putting their content behind a paywall. That said, some people feel that ads are not only irritating, but also violate their privacy. If you are of these people, Privoxy is a free tool that offers a wealth of ways to rid yourself of ads and tracking.

Astrid Tasks review

Friday, January 20, 2012

I love making lists and I love to delegate. That's why I really like Astrid Tasks. This free Chrome app (which is also available at Astrid.com when using another browser or in a mobile app for iOS and Android devices) lets me create to-do lists and share their contents with anyone who can help me get things done.

Firefox for Android review

Friday, August 26, 2011

As a browser, Firefox needs no introduction. It has gained a loyal following on the desktop, and the mobile version has already amassed millions of downloads on the Android Market. But can Firefox for Android live up to its desktop counterpart? It sure tries, I'll give it that.

Maxthon review

Thursday, August 4, 2011

Maxthon is probably the best web browser you've never heard of. I reviewed it favourably in the past, when it resembled a cousin of Internet Explorer 7. Since then, it's changed drastically.

Safari 5.1 gives Apple’s browser enough horsepower to hold its own against rivals in day-to-day browsing. More importantly, its new features truly distinguish it from the pack, making Safari 5.1 a great step up from its predecessor.

Apple Mail 5.0 review

Monday, August 1, 2011

While it may fall short for power users with industrial-strength business needs, the new Apple Mail offers a feature set good enough for the broad majority of everyday users, executed superbly, and integrated tightly with OS X.

Xtravo Web Browser 4.0 review

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Jawoco's Xtravo Web Browser 4.0 is one of many alternative browsers. While competition is always good and a wide range of choices is never a bad thing, it's hard to find a specific niche Xtravo fills which the others do not.

Firefox 4 review

Monday, March 28, 2011

It's been a long wait for Firefox 4. It was nearly two years ago that Firefox 3.5 was released. A lot has changed in the browser world since then. But though the wait has been a long one, it has paid off for those with patience. Firefox 4 is a winner.

Google Chrome 10 review

Saturday, March 12, 2011

As Web sites become increasingly complex, streaming media becomes more common, and applications migrate from PC client-based to web-based, it becomes increasingly important for browsers to be as fast and responsive as possible. In fact, if you spend most of your life in web-based apps, a speedy browser has gone from being a nice-to-have to a must-have.

Fusion 4 is the newest version of VMware's virtualisation solution for the Mac, which allows you to run multiple operating systems within Mac OS X.

Daminion Standalone review

Back in the days of traditional film photography, it was easy to see when you had many photos: Shelves full of albums (or shoeboxes bursting with prints) were visible. Today, you could have hundreds of thousands of photos in your collection, and they would take up next to no physical space. Organizing all of those photos, however, is still a massive undertaking. Daminion Standalone is a free application that tries to help you tag and sort your photos in ways that make sense. read more...

Breezi review

Just because Microsoft no longer makes FrontPage doesn't mean people no longer need a visual way to create websites. On the contrary: Breezi (currently in free Beta) joins the ranks of visual website creation tools alongside Wix, Weebly, Jimdo, and many other tools. Breezi may not be completely unique, but it sure has style. read more...
