Avant Browser is a free web browser with advanced features for comfortable internet surfing. This browser is able to block intrusive advertising and pop-ups, allows you to quickly download streaming video from websites with its video sniffer and, thanks to the built-in multithreaded download manager, is able to quickly download any content from the Internet - whether it be music, video or program files.

If one of the tabs opened in the Avant Browser hangs, it does not cause the whole browser to hang, thanks to its multi-processing design. Avant Browser is designed for low memory usage, and its developers state that it avoids the memory leaks associated with Ajax technology. Simply close the tab where the Ajax site is opened and all the occupied memory resources will be immediately released. The program can work in a private mode - in this case, your computer does not save any traces of your visit to any of the sites.

Avant Browser understands the commands given by mouse gestures (so-called Mouse Gestures), can automatically fill in web forms and allows you to block "heavy" elements of web pages (video, flash, pictures, sounds, ActiveX, etc.). Users of this browser can read news with the help of the built-in RSS-reader and use the online bookmark service. The appearance of the Avant Browser can be adjusted, and split view shows two web pages side by side. The Ultimate edition of Avant Browser uses not only one engine (Internet Explorer), as in the case of the Lite edition, but three - Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. If a web page does not display well in one of the engines, you can quickly switch to another or assign an engine to a site in the options. The latest release, 2020 build 3, came out in March 2020, and no newer builds have been published since.

Avant Browser offers fast and efficient internet surfing by blocking intrusive ads and allowing quick downloads.
