Avant Browser review
in Software
Verdict
The dated interface is the least of this ageing browser’s problems, which struggles with modern apps such as Google Docs and should be forced into retirement

Forget Firefox and all the other browsers! Somebody knew how to make a browser when they did this one. It is VERY fast. I have dial up, but this makes it SO fast it is incredible, just like DSL. I highly suggest it!

ok
Fast and stable are the two most stable reason that I use this browser.

2011 ismore stable
It has been some time since 2010 build 130 be out.In my opinion,130 version is much more stable than the earlier versons.but there still have some small bugs.you guys need to work hard.

I used to...
love this browser. When it came out it was quick, the tabs made life easy, mouse gestures, aliases etc etc made me use this pretty much exclusively.
But as David Bayon says - time caught up with it. It began to freeze, feature bloat took over and in the end I went back to IE & Chrome.
If it could recapture it's glory days I would propbably give it another try, but I fear that with teh new Chrome & IE 9 just around the corner it will (and possibly should) follow Netscape into Browser oblivion.

Old browser, new feeling
I saw the commnet of mine in 2010 here. I had used Avant browser for about three year before I switched to firefox, and now I use Avant agine for their new version 2012 beta 8 which integrated firefox 8 engine. Can't believe it after these years avant still keep its old interface. But the really add many new features in this year. Such as split view, detach tab, two rendering engine . What surprise me is that using firefox engine in Avant even faster than firefox itself. I don't know how they can do this, but from my experience, the new version is good
