Publisher's description of Avant Browser 10.0 build 135

From Avant Force:

Avant Browser allows users to browse multiple Web sites simultaneously and to block all unwanted pop-up pages and Flash ads automatically. The integrated cleaner helps users clear all traces and maintain privacy. The built-in Yahoo/Google search engines enable users to search for Web pages, images, groups, directories, lyrics, software, and news on the Internet. Avant Browser provides options for blocking the download of Flash media, pictures, video, sounds, and ActiveX components, so users can efficiently use their bandwidth and speed up page loading. All opened pages can be easily stopped, refreshed, closed, or arranged with one click.

Version 10.0 build 135 features improvements in popup blocker and mouse functions.

Editor's review of Avant Browser 10.0 build 135

• 5.0 stars

• "Ditch Internet Explorer"

Starting from the Internet Explorer engine, Avant Browser adds useful capabilities, such as grouped favorites, an RSS reader, and tabbed browsing. The first thing we noticed upon launch was the aesthetically pleasing skin that came as the default with Avant Browser, but you can choose from among many preloaded skins in the Tools menu. The tabbed-browsing feature lets you quickly switch among Web sites, rather than having to shuffle through several browser instances in the Windows taskbar. If you visit several Favorites often, you can save them as a group and open the whole group with one click. When you shut down the program, Avant Browser remembers which windows were open and launches them the next time it starts up. You also can automatically refresh all windows, or only the current one, at regular intervals. A simple pop-up blocker works in most cases, but it was powerless against some floating banners and other, more obscure pop-up methods. Overall, we found Avant Browser a great alternative to Internet Explorer, with useful features that make browsing even more efficient.

  "Good for an IE shell..."

  by Mrsone on March 2, 2005

  Pros: The browser interface is really nice. The skins are very aesthetically pleasing, and you can download more. There are enhanced options for favorites, and a very good pop-up blocker. Tabbed browsing is always excellent, and Avant does use mouse gestures. If you want to add additional features to IE, this is proably the best shell out there.

  Cons: Since this is just an IE shell, it has all of the same vulnerabilities as IE. It adds functionality to IE, but it has all of the same security flaws. On a fresh install, it does not even recognize Windows SP2. You have to actually change the name of the .exe file to "iexplore" in order to make it acknowledge SP2. I do think this is the best IE shell, but if you are looking for more secure browsing, I recommend Opera, or Mozilla Firefox over this.

  "Not bad at all"

  by MET920 on March 3, 2005

  Pros: I don't like to use browsers without tabbed windows.. That's why I enjoyed this.. Also.. I have a thing against IE as many people do and if you need to check sites such as gmail.. This would be the best browser to do the job..

  Cons: I heard that it was so much better than Opera and such.. But it isn't comparable.. Has many less features and shortcuts.. Also.. Though I don't like to use IE for security reasons.. This browser has similar security flaws..

  "AWESOME!!!"

  by Marcosbsb27 on March 5, 2005

  Pros: I said here in Download.com That I could not live without some of all these Internet stuffs! Avant Browser is one of these stuffs.I have(you can imagine how crazy I am...)Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Netscape,IE of course, and Deepnet. They make me feel deep in touch with all ultimate progress in this wonderful web world. And Avant Browser has a special place in this always glittering web world(so many icons, windows, shining lights!!!)...And it has a Portuguese version too, wich is, by the way, very usefull, because I'm brazilian, you know. Thank you from Avant Browser and from Download.com for make my adiction to Internet more sweet than ever!!!!

  Cons: None

  "The best browser available"

  by racetruckdriver on March 7, 2005

  Pros: Very pleasant and modern streamlined interface, similar to IE, but with extra features, such as tabbed browsing, easily configurable toolbars, and several different skins. Web pages also appear to load faster than on some other browsers. Hopefully this will be the future of the major web browsing applications.
