Avant Browser 2012 build

As for the default search engine used in the browser it´s basically a customized version of the Yahoo! search engine. Besides of the main search engine users have a possibility to choose from other well-known search engines listed in "Quick Search" facility of the Address Bar.

Active Avant user community has created some really useful tools and extensions for their favorite browser. For example, registry files permit an access to the Information Bar as well as other Windows XP SP2 security enhancements. Among principal features of Avant browser can be mentioned its velocity, generous collection of preloaded skins, tabbed browsing and configurable modular toolbars which can be hidden or moved around. In the set of adaptable bars you can find Status bar, Search bar and navigation buttons. At the same time the Menu bar and some proprietary functions icons are strictly fixed at the upper-right corner.

In comparison with some popular browsers Avant provides many built-in features, like an automatic form filling, that are available in alternative browsers only after installing additional plug-ins. The AutoFilling function is responsible for the memorization of user passwords and web forms data. All the saved passwords and fulfilled information can be protected with a master password.

Multi-Processing interface provides to users a unique browsing experience free of crashes, lock-ups and leaks of memory which makes this browser very reliable. In case of failure of one or several tabs Avant Browser neither gets frozen nor affects other opened pages in any way.

Avant Online Bookmarks Service allows a quick access to all the saved bookmarks from home, office or just an outside hotspot, besides it protects users from losing their bookmarks in case of Windows reinstallation. When using a shared computer the encrypted autonomous bookmarks file format guarantees the users privacy protection. By switching to the Private Mode, Avant Browser starts a private browsing which doesn´t allow to save any web data on the computer. Thus if somebody else uses the same computer he won´t be able to see the websites visited by other users.

Sometimes the internet connection for any reason is not as fast as wanted. For such situations the developers of Avant Browser implemented a Flash Animation Filter. As the majority of web flash animations are used for advertising purposes and usually take up to 90% of the webpage size, users can block downloading of all the flash files by a single click. In a similar way works the AD/Pop-up Blocker. It quickly eliminates unwished banners and pop-ups after one easy click.

Another very useful feature of Avant Browser will bring a great joy specially to the very active forum users. By clicking a link of any forum post with the middle mouse button pressed it will be automatically opened in a new window in the background.

Avant browser can be recommended to all the users interested in a Microsoft-based engine, but not as complicated as Internet Explorer 7.
