I love the Avant browser too. With XP Pro you can right click in the scroll bar and have a choice of where move the page.

Another great feature is the "Clear" Icon that allows you to dump the cache, cookies, and other junk without having to use "Internet Options". It will also use the good features of IE 6 such as IE Spell which lets you check the spelling on the page and in "Reply" boxes. .

The tab bar can also be moved to the top. Just un-check the "Lock the Toolbars" and customize it to your hearts content.

It also has great skins. My favorite is noiawarm.

Does avant use the IE engine? If so, wouldn't you be susceptible to the same spyware problems IE has?

I would like to try it, but not if it's just IE with a fancy face lift & added toolbars/tabs.
