Product Reviews

It's actually quite hard to truly escape Internet Explorer or Firefox, because many alternative browsers just wrap a different user interface around the same rendering engines that drive the market leaders. Take Avant Browser, which wraps itself around Internet Explorer. As long as five years ago, this innovative browser was incorporating tabbed browsing, revival of pages after a crash and removal of web tracks. Today, the others have caught up, and so it's left to features like the integrated and free online favourites storage facility, automatic window refresh and URL aliases. Hover the mouse over any image or animation and a toolbar gives one-click saving, emailing, ad blocking and zooming, which is nice, but the lack of decent documentation isn't.
