New browser
Current Mood:
There's this new internet browser that I've been using instead of Internet Explorer. It's called Avant, and it's really cool :-).
It's got a lot of features, but let me tell you two of my favorites :-).
You know how Internet Explorer fills your taskbar with buttons when you're viewing more than one window? I hate that. The neat thing about Avant is that you only have one button on your taskbar, but you've got tabs that allow you to jump from window to window (think of the worksheet tabs when you use MS Excel--it's like that). I know this feature exists in Netscape, but the problem with Netscape is that sometimes it doesn't display web pages properly. Avant allows you to view web pages the way Internet Explorer does, but it has the tab feature for which Netscape is popular.
My second favorite thing about Avant is this: you know how, when you go on the Internet, there are certain websites you check everyday? Let's say for example you check a news website, your web mail, and your bank's website daily. If you're using Internet Explorer, you can certainly mark those links as your favorites, but you'd still have to click on each of those links individually. With Avant, you would put all those links together in what is known as a "group." Then you just click "Open All Links in This Group"
et voila! All your sites open in their own separate tabs. That's just cool :-).
Avant is free, of course :-). And CNET gives it a 4 stars out of 5 rating, so you can be confident that the experts like it too :-).
If you'd like to check it out, here's the link:
