It is not until this release of Firefox that we can say it is really the preferred browser among users. No wonder, indeed, as it is the most efficient, fastest, most secure and most scalable available browser. There are almost no limits in its configuration possibilities. Complements and add-ons are definitely the main competitive advantage of this flexible browser.

For instance, a browser like Flock is usually defined as the social browser, due to its built-in tools for communities. With Firefox, adding specific add-ons for managing communities is immediate, and the functionality offered is exactly the same.

What is more, thanks to technologies such as GreaseMonkey, Firefox even supports customized scripts, developed with JavaScript language. There are more than 5,000 different add-ons available for this browser, and growing.

Bookmarks, passwords, RSS feeds, downloads, pop ups, and many other aspects, are perfectly and smoothly integrated on Firefox 3. Its browsing engine is so efficient, that all those additional features do not affect browsing speed.

The browser itself is very easy to use. It’s true, some functions need advanced menus for a more accurate configuration, but usual functions are at hand and easy to set up. Consistent with its approach, Mozilla is more focused on technology, efficiency and optimization than in design and graphical appearance. But the resulting browser (Firefox) is flexible enough, so that users can freely configure the appearance of the interface.

There are other interesting browsers, such as Flock, AvantBrowser or even Internet Explorer. But any of those offers such degree of customization. All the specific characteristics and features of the other browsers can be added to Firefox through add-ons. And the resulting functionality is usually the same.

Avant Browser is continuously improving its long list of characteristics. This browser includes many more options than the ones in Internet Explorer. Merely as an example, there are useful features, such as the possibility of automatically loading pre-set websites, or the integration of a download manager. Additionally, Avant Browser saves user profiles online, covering bookmarks and form automatic fill-in. No matter then where or which computer you are browsing with. Every data and user information will be at hand. And every change,  either in your bookmarks or in your profile will be saved for further use.

With this application, internet browsing is made even more efficient. Tabs and direct Access to website control options are only a sample of those productivity features. Users can set up the refresh frequency of each tab. An RSS feeds and a powerful bookmarks manager are also integrated in this excellent browser.
Not only is Avant Browser such a useful and powerful browser, it is also specially designed for granting user’s privacy. With only one click, all the browsing session information can be deleted, pop ups can be locked, bookmarks can be activated or deactivated, or even, a website or part of it can be converted into a picture file. Even the forms auto fill-in feature is able to preserve the privacy: all the personal information is encoded.

To conclude, Avant Browser is a browser ahead of its time and ahead of the Internet itself. For the time being, and waiting for the overall adoption of IE 7 and Opera or Firefox, it is probably the most advanced available browser.

It can be downloaded from: Avant Browser.
