WebFree is a tool that works with existing web browsers to let you, the individual, take control over what you see when you visit web sites.
Were you annoyed when your favorite site added huge advertisements? Do you use web browsers in a educational setting where you don╒t want kids subjected to advertisements for beer, or worse? Are you surfing the web over a slow modem link, falling asleep before a page loads all of its flashy graphics? Are you concerned with your privacy when browsing the web? If so, WebFree might be for you.
WebFree allows you to be the editor for the web sites you visit. You can use it to screen out advertisements, unwanted images or links, and web cookies. The goal of WebFree is to make your web surfing more productive.
WebFree is a single Control Panel that works with your existing Internet connection and browser software. It works over direct Internet connections, as well as over modem and ISDN PPP links. Both MacTCP and Open Transport are supported, and WebFree is designed to work with all major Macintosh web browsers, including Netscape, Internet Explorer, Cyberdog, and the AOL web browser.
Finally, WebFree is ShareWare. If you like it, you can register via Kagi Software by visiting http://www.falken.net/webfree/,or by using the Register application included with the WebFree package. I didn╒t cripple the unregistered version, and you don╒t need to enter any complicated serial numbers to register.
WebFree has the following pricing.
Single user licenses, $20 per user
A Site License costs $200 (roughly equal to 10 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site (100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software.
K-12 institutions receive a special pricing. $15 per user licensing, or $100 for a single district site license.
Paying for WebFree is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies the WebFree package. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire (or Site licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More
specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-7Y
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end. Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
If you do not have an email address, please enter your complete postal address and please remember, we do not know what country you live in so please enter that into the postal address also.
