We're often asked what web browsers and email clients we use and recommend.

For the folks here, we mostly use two web browsers: Firefox and Opera and Thunderbird as our mail client.

It's also perhaps worth noting that these tools, and many others that we use and rely on daily, are Free / Open Source Software (F/OSS).

We as a company and also as individuals believe strongly in open source software. (This website runs on free software, as a matter of fact!)

Likewise, there's also definitely a place, and a case, for software with strong commercial support. Commercial programs like WebWatcher, Spector Pro, and Net Nanny all include excellent technical support.

Commercial software doesn't necessarily mean professional support, but with the best software it can and often does.

No matter what your needs are from free or commercial software, we encourage you to have a look at our reviews and see if commercial computer monitoring software is the best choice for your home or office.

Why?

In our view, these tools provide a better, more secure computing experience and with them we're better able to get our jobs done.

When it comes to testing the software we review, we of course also use Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express, too, as those are the programs most people use, and we want to be able to ensure as best as possible that we've covered all the bases.
