Avant vs Firefox + Where can I download Avant?

[Jome]

I downloaded Avant, and toyed around a little.. here's my conclusion:

* Favorites in Avant sucks as much as IE, organizing/moving/deleting is a pain in the ass compared to Firefox and Opera.
* The windows looks kinda weird, you have to scroll way too much, and the menus take up a lot of space.
* The "Flash-blocker" blocks ALL flash, even those who are not adverts/banners.
* You can only search on Yahoo/Google it seems, while I prefer either Vivisimo or the new "Clusty", or whatever you like..
* No e-mail client (Firefox got the excellent Thunderbird)
* No notepad function, no dictionary function
* No download manager..
* No advert/banner blocker.
* Impossible to group favorites in drop down menus.
* Impossible to zoom images.
* Slower
* INSTALLS SPYWARE/ADWARE on dodgy sites without permission !!!!! (Firefox blocks all attempts to install spyware/adware)

Concluson:

I'd MUCH RATHER recommend OPERA than Avant, Opera got tons more and better features.
Plus, Opera isn't built on wack ass IE like Avant..

Downloading/installing a plug-in is 2 clicks !! (How hard can that be..?)
Installing extensions is part of the genius, you get exactly what you want for your browser.. if you can think of it, somebody probably have the extension ready for you, no matter how strange the request may be.. it's all on 1 page, and easy as hell to install.

The tabbed browsing in Avant was good, though I wasn't used to the red X being placed on another toolbar, with a whole bunch of other shit.
If I had gone from IE to Avant, then Avant would have been a revolution, but since I'm going from Firefox to Avant, I guess I'm spoiled..
Compared to IE, the pop-up blocker was good.. and it's faster than IE, though no where near Firefox or Opera in speed.
And "Customize buttons" was a nice add-on to IE.. but I would never recommend this before Firefox or Opera..

wtf do u mean speed? its all the same to me i got a cable connection so i dont even got to wait a second for anything

If it's based on IE than Firefox kills it. Simple, no questions Firefox wins...

WTF is Opera?

The 2nd best browser after Firefox.. http://www.opera.com/

Why Opera:

NORWEGIAN QUALITY !!!!!! (Fear not, it comes with 34 different languages..  )
It's got a huge fanbase, not as big as Firefox, 8 million downloads on Download.com alone, the official site got a lot more.

WTF do I need all these browsers for? I think I'll just stick to Firefox, before my PC overloads with different Internet Browsers.

I use avant cause its easier..and i got use to pressing the x button and hiding it in the right corner of my tab bar...easier that way for me.

Firefox would sometimes close on me for no reason whats so ever when i'd be watching a flash/quicktime movie.

PLus, avant is under 1 mb and stops all advertising...but firefox and avant are both good..jsut whatever you prefer..i like avant

[eS El Duque]

Also, you can disable shit at the press of a button :p..like pictures, flash animations, active x, java etc..dope shit
