Software Update: Avant Browser 2010 Build 1

Anderson Che, founder and sole employee of Avant Force, has released a new version of Avant Browser. This web browser partly uses Internet Explorer, but adds additional functionality such as a pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, a search bar, and the ability to use skins to customize the program’s appearance. Some of these features are already offered by default by IE, but Avant Browser can already be used from Internet Explorer 5.5. Since version 11 it is possible to save your profile online, so that you can access your favorites, RSS feeds and settings from anywhere. Here’s what’s changed in this release:
