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 11 build 46
"No longer a good alternative"
Pros: Tabbed browsing.
Cons: This use to be a very good product BEFORE the 11.x release. Now its crap, total crap. When I upgraded it blew out all my settings and was very buggy. It also installed spyware. Its just plain bad. I uninstalled it and went to IE7. Although its not perfect, I'm very happy I with it.

Pros: fast browsing, and easy to use interface. 'Open recent' facility, clear records facility.
Cons: 'Open recent' list can get very large in size, and so needs to be empitied daily.
