Browsers
Avant browser is attractive from the start. It's got a slick,
chrome design for your eyes and quick load times for your patience. Don't
want to lose you IE favorites? Don't worry, Avant imports them in
automatically so you can go back and forth and you'll always have your
favorite sites! Also, if Avant closes for any reason you can recover what
pages you will go to, so you'll never have to worry about digging for a
lost site again! It's also a tabbed browser, meaning you can have more
than one webpage open without opening up another window, which causes you
to use less RAM and your computer to run faster.
Avant also has a
built in pop-up blocker and Google and Yahoo! search bar. Oh yes, and
don't forget that Avant comes with eight, yes, eight different skins! So
if you don't like the look, go to the traditional IE look, or Office
XP!

Not much to say about internet
exploerer, pretty much everybody has used it, wait, all Windows users
have. IE is essential to run any Windows OS after 95, considering it's
what loads when you view your My Documents folder, your My Pictures
folder, and all your other folders. Windows offers just about everything
there is to offer except a built-in popup blocker and tabbed browsing, but
it's still considering the cream of the crop by most internet
users.

Mozilla is mainly popular in the webdesign world. Though many
other internet users use Mozilla, webdesigners tend to find it convenient
because of it's built in IRC client, HTML editor, and other features
available.
Mozilla's main feature is that it was the first big
browser to come with a built in popup blocker. The only downside with
Mozilla, and other Netscape based browsers, is that many pages don't view
properly due to the fact that they are optimized for Internet Explorer,
and that it doesn't display many CSS properties.

MyIE2 comes with all the features of IE, but also comes with
tabbed browsing and it's skinnable! MyIE allows you to use IE toolbars,
though not all work, the important ones like Google Toolbar and Yahoo!
Companion do. Other than those features, MyIE is the same thing as IE,
just sleeker.

Opera browser has many ups, and a few downs. One up, it's
quick, one down, the ads. Opera displays google adsense ads in the top of
the browser unless you pay for the software. But other than that down,
everything looks good for Opera, popup blocker, pages load quickly, sleek
look, everything is just... good. And the ad isn't terribly large at all,
at least not on my 1600x1200 resolution.
