SeaMonkey 1.1.8 - Mozilla Foundation

SeaMonkey 1.1.8, the Mozilla Foundation’s all-in-one Internet application, combines browsing, e-mail, HTML editing, and IRC chat. The project traces its lineage to the classic Netscape Communicator suite—but unfortunately, those roots show a little too clearly... read more at Macworld

OmniWeb 5.6 - The Omni Group

The Omni Group’s OmniWeb browser is like an enhanced, extra-powerful version of Safari.

DevonAgent 2.3 - Devon Technologies

DevonAgent is billed as an Internet research tool that happens to include a Web browser. But you could also think of it as a Web browser with advanced research features. Either way, it combines a reasonably full-featured browser with a unique method of searching for information online... read more at Macworld

Camino 1.5 - Mozilla Foundation

If Firefox is the fully loaded SUV of the browser world, rumbling along laden with bells and whistles, Camino—based on the same rendering engine, but customized specifically for the Mac—is the stylish yet stripped-down sports coupe. It won’t give you the plush features or thorough customization that Firefox offers, but it compensates with speed... read more at Macworld

Flock 1.0.3 - Flock

Back in the Dark Ages of Web browsers, the ability to load images and tables was a big deal because it meant that users could have prettier pages to stare at. Since then, hanging out on the Web has become a lot more interactive—you have blogs to read and post, friends to keep tabs on via social networks, and content to track across user-driven sites like Flickr and YouTube. Enter Flock. Billed as a “social Web browser,” Flock offers features... read more at Macworld

CSSEdit 2.6 - MacRabbit

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a widely used Web-design technology that lets you create styles that can be applied to one or more blocks, or ranges of text, on a Web page. Instead of applying formatting locally, repeating the details each time you want particular text or a layout to be formatted similarly, CSS lets you write once, use many times... read more at Macworld

RapidWeaver 3.6 - Realmac Software

When it comes to Web design, many Mac users turn to a simplistic application, such as iWeb, over the heavyweight Adobe Dreamweaver. But another choice falls in between those two apps: RapidWeaver. Version 3.6 is the first paid upgrade since the software debuted three years ago... read more at MacLife

MarsEdit 2 - Red Sweater Software

As blogging matures, so do blogging applications. MarsEdit, originally created alongside NetNewsWire by Brent Simmons, is now under the new ownership of Daniel Jalkut at Red Sweater Software. The result is an injection of fresh blood for MarsEdit. MarsEdit 2 benefits from some helpful interface tweaks and a handful of much-needed new features... read more at MacUserUK

iWeb '08 - Apple

The first iteration of iWeb (3.5 mice) appeared a little more than a year and a half ago, giving iLife users a quick way to publish Web sites via their .Mac accounts. Designed with family users in mind, iWeb took the guesswork out of Web publishing. Without any knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, Web novices could publish home pages... read more at Macworld

NetNewsWire 3.0 - NewsGator

With the Web’s great wealth of news, it’s easy to collect a set of sites you like to gather your news from. But it takes a while to visit them all. Thanks to NetNewsWire, you can spend your time getting informed instead of getting from site to site, muddling through headlines... read more at MacLife

Thunderbird 2.0 - Mozilla

Every copy of Mac OS X comes with a feature-rich email client in the form of Mail. So why would anyone look any further? There are several potential reasons. First of all, although it's powerful enough for most users, if your working life is organised around email then it lacks some of the organisational features you might need. Secondly, if you need to move your mail archive from Mac to Windows or Linux, you need to rely on Apple's export tools working properly, as Mail stores its files in a non-standard format... read more at MacUserUK

GoLive 9 - Adobe

As soon as Adobe bought Macromedia, the writing was on the wall for GoLive. Although it has many supporters willing to argue its superiority over Dreamweaver, Macromedia's web design tool has been an industry standard almost since the industry started, so it was inevitable that Adobe would push its own child out of the nest in favour of Dreamweaver... read more at MacUserUK

Shiira 2 - Shiira

Shiira's designers have set themselves a straightforward task: to create the best web browsing experience on Mac OS X. They've certainly created the best looking, but as for the best experience, that's a different matter... read more at MacUserUK

CSSEdit 2.5 - MacRabbit

With a new edition of Dreamweaver hitting the shelves, you may think late spring 2007 is a silly time to be releasing new web design tools. Not so. While Dreamweaver may be most designers' first choice for powerful site and online application development, some tools are simply better at doing specific tasks, as our cover feature on application alternatives explains... read more at MacUserUK

Coda 1.0.3 - Panic

If you’re like many Mac-based Web developers, you have a regular set of working tools: a text editor, an FTP client, a CSS editor, an e-book or two, a Web browser, and the Apple Terminal window. And given that you have a limited amount of screen real estate, you’re no doubt constantly switching between them. Panic’s goal is to combine all of those tools into its new program, Coda 1.0.3... read more at Macworld

Dreamweaver CS3 - Adobe

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has always been a solid tool for creating and maintaining Web sites. The latest version builds on an already powerful product by adding support for Intel processors, Photoshop integration, and templates and tools that simplify CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) design... read more at Macworld

Fireworks CS3 - Adobe

Adobe’s first release of Fireworks as part of its CS3 suite of Web design programs includes several new features that will please graphic artists, Web developers, and hobbyists. Fireworks was originally conceived for creating and optimizing Web-based bitmap and vector images, and its user-friendly interface and relatively modest system requirements made it the tool of choice for many Web designers who didn’t need Photoshop’s high-end print-preparation and -editing features... read more at Macworld

Contribute CS3 - Adobe

Adobe Contribute CS3 is unusual because it allows you to edit existing Web pages, and even to create new Web pages from templates—but you can’t use it to create a new site from scratch. It is targeted to Web designers and administrators, but used by non-designers—writers and editors—to update only Web site content... read more at Macworld

SpamSweep 1.5 - Bains Software

If you’re looking for the easiest-to-use Mac-compatible spam utility on earth, look no farther than SpamSweep 1.5.3. Yet its ease of use is a double-edged sword. While it’s a cinch to set up and learn, it provides precious few options for configuring its filters ... read more at Macworld

Personal Antispam X4 10.4 - Intego

Intego’s Personal Antispam X4 (10.4.2) is one of a couple of easy-to-use spam utilities that work within your e-mail application. I prefer this approach because it leaves all my e-mail in one location where I can easily manage everything. I’m nervous about a stand-alone spam filter accidentally deleting or failing to forward mail that I want ... read more at Macworld
