Notetab Light:

AWESOME tool - includes the power of a Google search with the best popup blocking ever!

This is an excellent thread guys. Let's try to keep this one going.

I wish I could add to it but most all the freeware I try out tends to plague my computer with spyware and other crap.

I'll definately try out the google tool. I need a good popup blocker.
