"From the same makers of Avant, not bad."
Version: Orca Browser 1.1 beta 3
Pros
Based on Mozilla engine, Fast, secure, better tabbed browser than FF3.
Cons
Must have a few bugs as it keeps crashing
Uses Avantfind as default browser. Google can't be added.Summary
When this is fixed and out of beta it will be better than FF3.
Reason being, it does virtually everything out of the box that FF3 does after add ons are installed, ie "tabmix plus" -
"Generally great, much quicker than Avant"
Version: Orca Browser 1.1 beta 3
Pros
You get the benefits of Avant like shortcuts for search engines, it storing your favourites and customizations at their server
Cons
It's still a bit buggy. It does not work with Roboform
Summary
Orca uses Firefox as the base browser but adds a lot of cool features on top. I was using Avant which is much the same except it uses IE as the base browser but for some reason it has become really slow recently and freezes for quite a few seconds each time you open a page. Orca zaps along in comparison

"Fast, easy to use."
Version: Orca Browser 1.1 beta 3
Pros
Fast, has lots of features that i like. Oh yeah, did I mention it is fast? w-aa-y faster than Firefox !!
Cons
Frequently must clear Error Console in order to activate cursor to input info such as this response window as an example. Needs more addons and plug-ins.
Summary
It is fast, with more useful fine tuning tools which are easily available and user friendly than any browser that I've used in the past.

"Nice...but needs some bugs ironed out"
Version: Orca Browser 1.1 beta 3
Pros
Nice looking and fast. Nice layout with many good user friendly features.
Cons
) Plugins did not work correctly.
2) Cut and pasting web links is not working and needs to be fixed.
3) No clear path to where your downloads are located, nor can you change this. I checked the options and this does not appear to be indicated.Summary
Over all, Orca is a decent browser and I will give it another look when it is a stable release.
