Many of mine are listed above--usually several times. So I will add some that *I* use everyday that no one seems to use or notice anymore. Hidden Menu 8Start Launcher (launchers based on pop-up lists with icons) WatchCat Mihov's Pic Downloader Tinyspell AllChars Simple Family Tree (for the tree display) van Basco's Midi Player one that is becoming 'almost' everyday- NeoSearch and one that I use only occasionally, but have found no real equivilent --the original MouseTool, for clicking mouse when hand is cramped. I think there might be a few others...but not close to 'everyday'. -- remove nonsense for reply

I agree; for some, a particular browser might be essential because of specific extensions or features. Maybe "M.L." thinks it can't be essential unless unique, or the only competition is payware. -- This tagline not sponsored by any Corporation in any way.
