For a while now, computer users have been waking up to the real threats that
exist while browsing the web. Every day, more turn their back on the
established vulnerabilities of Internet Explorer and opt for the hottest open
source project on the net, Mozilla's Firefox. But there are plenty of
alternatives that offer great features, and one of those is Avant Browser.
Based on Internet Explorer, Avant Browser will import all your favorites
automatically and also keep your settings intact. As such Avant Browser makes
a good alternative to the popular Firefox browser, which shuns all things IE,
and may seem slightly too foreign from the conventions that many users have
built up while using Microsoft's browser. Although Avant Browser is based
on the Internet Explorer engine, it doesn't fall victim to the same
security vulnerabilities (although no-one is claiming that it's
invulnerable), and while it's at it, adds some great tools designed to
enhance your browsing experience. Avant Browser's Flash blocker is an
effective way to keep memory usage of the browser to a minimum or to simply
cut out those over-elaborate ads that invade and take over many web sites. To
appeal to a wider audience, Avant Browser has quick links that let you
quickly translate pages to a wide selection of languages, or you can
customize the look of the browser using the many skins that are included by
default. Of course, no modern browser could claim to be complete without
tabbed browsing and Avant Browser really delivers the goods with a system
that allows you to even reload tabs after you've closed them. In fact,
Avant Browser has some of the best extras that we've seen to date, in
particular the system whereby tabs can be resized like normal program windows
letting you display multiple site windows side-by-side, within one browser
window. There's also a useful toolbar item in Avant Browser that displays
tags describing the page that you're on. Click on a tag and you open a list
of site that result from a search using that tag or keyword; brilliant! And
the piece de résistance is an automatic session saver that lets you open up
all the sites you were browsing when you last closed Avant Browser. Avant
Browser is relatively unknown as a mainstream browser and as such is not
restricted from experimenting and taking the best ideas from the big hitters,
as well as adding its own nuggets to the mix. What you get is a very
impressive selection of tools in a browser that will even run your Microsoft
update without objections. Definitely worth consideration if you are thinking
of changing browser.Download *Avant Browser Lite 2012 Build 21* in Softonic
