Sumatra PDF is a free PDF, eBook (ePub, Mobi), XPS, DjVu, CHM, Comic Book (CBZ and CBR) reader for Windows.
Seems decent enough.

A web browser which is essentially a fork of Firefox. Pale Moon keeps the simpler UI before the astonishingly terrible changes Firefox made.
A very good browser. Newer addons targeting the latest Firefox which are addicted to its new interface will not work with Pale Moon, since Pale Moon lacks that interface. Older addons or proper UI-agnostic addons will work fine.

A semi-light web browser. It’s been creeping in as many features as possible over the years.

Tor can be thought of like a secure proxy.
I experimented with it during my research on Replacing Firefox.
UPDATE: Tor has been subverted for some time. I know when and how, with confirmation, but not by whom.
It must not be used for high-level security requirements (governmental, military, international) and probably even mid-level requirements (corporate, police). Little people using it as a proxy are fine.
Don’t do anything illegal with it if you’re within three degrees of a Bad Guy. So.. don’t use it for anything illegal. Remember that PRISM records everything, so that, once flagged, you can be found retroactively guilty (even by association) for past internet usage.

was dillo.org
A lightweight web browser.
I thought it had hope but needed significant work.

2022-07-12 – Apparently abandoned
- The website is down
- the source code archive as of 202201280 shows the last activity at 2021-02-09. It was a small change and the update previous to that was 2018-10-05.
- The mailing list archive doesn’t tell me enough because it’s an old snapshot.
TODO – add patch notes

http://links.twibright.com/
A fast, open source, cross-platform Web browser based on the Links web browser.
Where Lynx is the standard console web browser for most Linux distributions and is complete shit, Links is fucking awesome.
I had used this for some time but abandoned it for a while. I’ll try it again eventually.

The problem with the Mozilla of browsers is that decent functionality isn’t included out of the box. This is what drove me away from Windows and I don’t want to waste my life configuring things anymore.. so I can’t really stand this browser.
- Mozilla: Firebird, Phoenix or whatever other names.

was neoplanet.com
A Windows 16bit internet browser+email suite. It leveraged Internet Explorer‘s HTML rendering engine.
This is probably the most significant piece of software I’ve ever used, because it was the initial prompt for my writing and publishing reviews. It pushed a major hobby and has influenced whole careers. As for it being any good.. well it had potential that it didn’t meet. At the time it was better than Opera but it just didn’t survive the web browser marathon.
