As you read this, millions of people are using Internet Explorer to browse. the web. Just as new PCs are designed for Windows XP, so websites are designed for Internet Explorer. It's as familiar as the Start menu to most of us, which is partly the reason we use it. That's not to say it couldn't be improved, but what other choice do web users have? Enter AvantBrowser.

Available as a free download, AvantBrowser is based on Internet Explorer, so it looks and operates in a similar way. However, it has many extra features, including a pop-up ad blocker and 'Mouse Gestures' that allow you to navigate pages by simply moving the mouse. Users of AOL will be familiar with the ability to open new windows within the program and to browse these simultaneously.

Clicking a link with the middle mouse button opens it in the background, which is useful for 'earmarking' pages obtained from the built-in Googlesearch toolbar. If desired, a 'Records Cleaner' clears evidence of your surfing behaviour on closing the program, or you can retain the pages you had open.

This is an Internet Explorer upgrade rather than an alternative, but AvantBrowser offers a truly streamlined, productive and enjoyable way of surfing.
