We recently discovered what you, the TechBeat readers, prefer to use when it comes to browsers, however we noticed that some of you commented on how you have chosen alternative browsers over the mainstream ones like Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Avant is an alternative browser for those of you who want a Microsoft-based engine but don't really like Internet Explorer. As a browser it is fairly fast, comes pre-loaded with twenty four skins and features tabbed browsing and modular toolbars. You can save personal data so that your bookmarks and form content are accessible from any machine, so handy if you like to synchronize your content. Avant provides you with automatic updates, a password manager and an integral Internet Explorer search engine. Although it may not be the most secure browser out there, it does protect you against pop-ups and malware but not phishing websites.
