Hi All. I recently downloaded Avant Browser to see how if works. I find it works pretty good but I'm curious to know what you guys think of it. If you're wondering, I normally use Mozilla.

It's just Internut Exploder activex control wrapped in another application thingy. I think that means all the vulnerabilities.

Anybody can wrap an internet explorer activex control and claim they have created a browser. I myself bragged to my friends after doing this.

As far as IE based browsers go, i prefer MY IE 2. Infact, it's the browser i use when i'm forced to veiw a page with IE. Though whatever IE based browser you like is good to have around as a backup for pages that require IE. So while i'd avoid using it (because as mentioned it's still weak security wise) keep it around for pages that need IE.
