Avant browser-better than Firefox

Avant Browser- This browser is better than Firefox because it not only has tabs, but allows you to tile those tabs horizontally or vertically with a small menu at the top of the browser. It also lets you deactivate popup and security features from a drop-down menu instead of having to go through "tools" like in Firefox. You can disable sounds, Flash, and other things from this menu as well. The autofill menu not only fills forms, but acts as a sort of favorites which actually takes you to the form you need to fill. It has RSS which I never use. Avant uses the same engine as IE so site compatability is not an issue. Neither are favorites which are not only automatically imported, but continuously synced with IE. Being based on IE also has the advantage of using all IE apps and plugins. For those of you who are married, clearing the history, typed addresses, and cookie cache is also a handy toolbar item. You can clear each item individually or all together.

It doesn't have the email program, but I use Outlook, and it doesn't have the downloading module-another thing I don't use.

I downloaded Avant browser for the first time in mid-Apil 2007 out of curiousity due to many aclamations about its great features and SPEED. Verson 11 Build 46 turned out to be incredibly slow on DSL (768 mbps. Both IE and Firefox continued to function so fast in comparison, I ended up uninstalling it the same day. Why use a browser that depends on the core of IE anyway?

I use both Firefox and Avant now, but I've been leaning on firefox more.
