Please note:

• I haven't tried out all of these myself, and people who I don't know have kindly made many recommendations as well.
• Consequently you should exercise sensible caution when trying these things out for yourself, and while I haven't included any programs/utilities/resources that have any spyware or malware included in them that I am aware of, I cannot take any responsibility for the utilities themselves.
• Your choice, your responsibility.
• I can't answer questions on any of the products themselves, as I am not associated with them in any way; if you have queries you should direct them to the owner of that particular product.
• I'm not including anything that isn't safe for work, so don't ask for adult material to be included.
