Thank you, but I think it's not freeware (and I didn't find a "lite"

You don't need to pay for it if you don't mind an innocuous ad.
Most browser projects are Mozilla based. THose that aren't either IE or
Moz have issues with alot of sites.

But I should add that the program has been recommended in this group

I refuse to try it because of the ad(s). YMMV.

Still, it'd be nice if they offered a time limited evaluation
version, so that one could asses its' merits regarding the money
without the ad interface.

Yet people are quite happy to mention:
AVG 6
Kerio Personal Firewall
without being lambasted..both of which are actually CRIPPLEWARE and
therefore not freeware in the true sense.

From their site...
Basic user Interface only
Disabled Advanced Scheduling of Tests
Disabled Creating of Your Own Tests
Now compare that to stuff such as Mozilla where you get full
functionality.
