Here, I’ve posted a short summary of nine interesting and lesser-known browsers that I’ve bumped into here and there. All of them have tab-support, so I’ve not mentioned it anywhere.

1. Amaya (cross platform)

If you’re the web developer kind of person who wants a lightweight, full-featured web browser with in-built support for full-featured WYSIWYG editing of pages right off the web, look no further.

Amaya is not just a HTML editor, though. With Amaya you can also write mathematical formulae in the mml format, as well as create reasonably good SVG drawings. I don’t spend my time creating webpages, but from what I can see, it can do whatever it’s meant to do efficiently and fast.

You can download Amaya here - http://www.w3.org/Amaya/

2. Netsurf (Linux and other Unix-like systems)

A tiny, lightweight browser, originally developed for RISC OS. It’s small and fast. Very fast.
Featuring a built in popup and advertisement blocker, it’s pretty good for the casual web-surfer, though if you’re looking for things like out-of-the box flash support, don’t look here.

It has support for user-contributed plugins, though if you’re not completely jobless, you shouldn’t go looking for them.

Download Netsurf here - http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

3.Midori (essentially Linux)

A fast and feature rich webkit-based browser featuring session management, straightforward bookmarking, a configurable web-search and even support for user styles and scripts!

The Midori FAQ on the Xfce wiki is a good read: http://wiki.xfce.org/midori_faq

as is the Midori homepage: http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html

4.Galeon (only Linux)

A browser whose self proclaimed mission is to deliver “the web and only the web”.

Galeon is designed for the GNOME desktop and features a lightweight interface and many small and useful options that you generally wouldn’t find on bigger browsers, like the bunch of bookmarklets in the search bar
that do useful things like view the “Page freshness”, “Read cookie for site” and “Zoom on first image”.

You can get Galeon here - http://galeon.sourceforge.net/

5.Konqueror (Linux, and with lots of fooling around, Windows)

The default browser of the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Feature rich and big, it was for many years KDE’s default file-manager as well. (Yes, it doubles up as a file manager and document viewer!!)
As can be expected from a browser with all those features, it’s big and rather slow. Not for you if you want a nippy browser that just browses the web, but definitely for you if you want a browser that does everything!
Homepage: http://konqueror.kde.org/

6.Flock (Cross-platform)

A web browser meant for social animals, this Firefox based browser has full in-built support for almost everything any social network can do. Uploading and viewing photos on Photobucket, Facebook and Flickr,
blog-publishing, mail reading, subscribing to RSS feeds, full twitter integration, you name it, flock does it.
A `media bar’ that shows previews of photos and videos on any social network that supports it allows you to drag and drop content from it onto other services as well.
Since it’s based on Firefox, a lot of Firefox addons are compatible with flock.

The only problem with it is that it’s got so many features, it tends to look cluttered at times.
Get it at http://www.flock.com/

7.Conkeror (Cross platform)

A mainly keyboard-controlled browser written for emacs fans. Navigation is achieved with a number of shortcuts taken from emacs, so crazy GNUsers will feel right at home.
Originally started as a Firefox addon, it has now become a full-fleged browser based on Firefox.
Conkeror is extensible in all directions with Javascript and with reasonable support for a number of firefox addons.
Homepage: www.conkeror.org

Windows users: http://conkeror.org/InstallationWindows

8.Camino (OSX)

The browser that’s most well-integrated into the Mac environment (apart from Safari, obviously).
It’s main aim is to provide “the best posssible experience for Mac OSX users” and is written in Cocoa, so it looks truly Aqua-tic
Get it from http://www.caminobrowser.org/

9.Shiira (OSX)

A Japanese webkit-based browser whose goal is “create a browser that is better and more useful than Safari”.
A large number of Shiira’s features are enhanced versions of the features of Safari. Shiira also includes visually attractive features such as “Tab expose” and features a tab bar that can be set to display the tabs as thumbnails along the bottom of the browser window.

The homepage can be found here: http://shiira.jp/en.php

We just stumbled across an award winning File Recovery Software which will undelete/recover accidently deleted files:

Recover Files 2.1

• Recover Files works for almost all kinds of delete operations(yes, the Shift+Del too!)
• Works even after Recycle Bin’s been emptied or files lost due to network share
• Recovers files deleted from the DOS prompt
• It also recovers files deleted by viruses and malicious software
• Works with almost all storage media including HDD, Floppy Drives, Flash Drives, USB Disk Drives, Flash Memories and Memory Cards
• Supports all major file systems
• Support for several languages

The interface shows a directory tree and you can change view to select a specific file type you are looking for. There are several filters and options to help you perform a better search.

Once your search is complete, you’ll be shown the status of the file – whether it is in ‘very good’ condition or has been ‘overwritten’. This can help you make a decision whether to retrieve a file or not.

All in all this is a superb software to try out and can be a life saver at times. And its FREE(but there is a paid full version also).

You can read more about Recover Files and download it here.

PowerTools Lite

• Indicates estimates of your PC Health and Registry Health on the interface
• Robust detection of registry errors including identifying false positives
• Detects and clears unnecessary registry entries
• Finds and deletes MRU(Most Recently Used) data, leftover temp files and clears History
• The best feature that we liked is one-click ‘undo’ feature to retrace steps and partial backup options
• Available in multiple translations

Not to mention that it is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server also. The software has a really clean interface and is very user-friendly. Its one of those light freeware which deserve to be a part of your tools collection.

Download PowerTool Lite from Macecraft here.

Here is an AJAX/PHP based website which will let you test what how your website looks like in different screen resolutions:

ViewLikeUs

• Loads of resolutions to try from. Sample this

• You can also try your website on an iPhone and Nintendo Wii Browser(We tried our on an iPhone)

ViewLikeUs is a nifty tool and you can really make use of it sometimes. Try ViewLikeUs here.

• Project Gutenberg
• The World Public Library
• The Internet Archive
• eBooks About Everything
• IMSLP

There are loads of free(and commercial books too) to download and in several languages. Make the most of this fair, visit the World E-Book Fair.

• Login to Gmail
• Click on  Labs(the green chemistry lab thing at the top right corner)
• Look for ‘Back to Beta’ feature
• Select ‘Enable’

So for those of you who couldn’t bear the pain of Gmail coming out of Beta, here is Google’s little gift. Gmail will always be Beta for you – Always!

The Twitosphere, blogosphere and what-not-o-sphere is buzzing with this news. With its uncanny ability to surprise people, Google declared that Google Apps will no longer carry the Beta tag – that they have grown up enough.

Gmail has been in beta for so long(5 years: yes, you read it right, 5 years) that its hard to believe that it has finally come out of it. Not only it but the entire range of Google Apps – Gmail, Calendar, Gtalk and Docs.

I’ve been using Gmail for a long time, I joined it on Valentine’s Day four years ago(that explains the love). It created a rage with unlimited storage back then and it has added great value to itself over the years – labels, chat, a search that actually works, in chat video, labs, themes – you say it, Gmail has it.

Now that Gmail comes out of beta, I wish it all the luck and wish that the innovations don’t end here. To it and all the Google Apps – Congratulations!

Read more about this development on the Official Google Blog and Official Gmail Blog.

(Update: Ankuj just informed us that Gtalk is still in beta. Yes! Even we are wondering what happened? Anyway, thanks Ankuj for bringing it to our notice)

SkreemR:

SkreemeR is one of the best search engines that we came across. Not only is it really simple to use, you can also preview the song right from the search results. It has superior indexing which lists blogs, websites and any place that holds music. The best part however is that you can download your selected song in a single click – no popups, no strings of windows or clicks required.

Skreemr’s services are also offered in the form of a Firefox Plugin.

MP3Realm:

They say that they are an evolving search engine who concentrate on music in MP3 format. Though we really wish they would do something about their color scheme, their music search is near about perfect.

What we loved about MP3Realm:

• Register and save your searches and playlists
• Filter your results by duration and bitrate
• Description about the file including a mention if the link is broken
• One click downloads

BeeMP3:

BeeMP3 isn’t very click friendly but their search results are really worth your time. The downloads are protected by Captchas.

So these are top three favourite search engines to download free music. We know there are lots more out there, so do tell us about your favourite ones.
