CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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. Watch the CNET video review of Avant Browser:

Version: Avant Browser 10.1 build 30
Pros: If you are going to upgrade your Internet Explorer,this is the one to use. This latest version of Avant surpasses Maxthon and Slim Browser in overall speed and ease of use. The tabbed browsing feature is the best I've seen. You can open all your favorites with just one click,instead of one at a time. It's free,no ads,and I recommend it. 5 stars and two thumbs up!

Version: Avant Browser 10.1 build 30
"Great browsing program, but something else is coming..."
Pros: Browser very easy to use. It's a browser that helps you navigate quickly and easily with various shortcut features as well as tabs.
Cons: None, however this program runs on Internet Explorer, but watch out for Dr. Orca which is beta right now and has some bugs to iron out. Still useable though. It's exactly the same as Avant Browser, but it runs totally on Mozilla Firefox's Gecko engine.

Version: Avant Browser 10.1 build 30
Pros: Uses internet explorer - so you will be able to see ALL websites properly. Additional pop-up blocker, ad-blocker, you can disable active-x, java on the fly. I think Internet Explorer 7 will be strugling to be better than Avant is today.
