Greetings,

I know firefox right now is the widely accepted "best" in internet security browser, HOWEVER because of some oracle applications i have to run that refuse to work in anything other than IE i am stuck with it. (Also, I Have only ever gotten windows update to work through IE) so i was left with a dilemma, i want tabbed browsing and ad blocking, and i cannot switch over to Firefox.

After searching for awhile, i eventually stumbled upon Avant Browser. From what i can tell, it uses all the Internet Explorer engines (i have had full compatibility thus far) and gives me all the features i love from Firefox (Adblock, Tabbed Browsing, Native popup blocking, and Theming)

I figured i would post all this for 2 reasons --
1) an alternative for the die hard IE fan or the person unfortunately stuck with it (like me)
2) to see what some other opinions are on this browser add-on (as far as pop-up blocking and security goes -- other than the obvious "it has all the holes of IE")

if you want to download it you can get it from:

Enjoy
