Orca Browser project is now discontinued. The developer also used to have a sister project known as Orca Browser, an Avant-like shell of Mozilla's Gecko layout engine as used in Firefox 3 using similar approaches to Flock. The community has also created other tools and extensions for Avant, including registry files which allow it to use the Information Bar and other security enhancements of Windows XP SP2. Other search engines are available via the address bar's 'Quick Search' facility, and instructions on how to change the default to an engine of the user's choice have been posted by the very active Avant Browser user community. The Avant Browser's default search engine is a version of the Yahoo! search engine renamed Avantfind and is given a custom look. Later, Avant's developer, Anderson Che, has concentrated on adding user-requested features, and Avant was among the first browsers to have popup blocking, advertising server blocking, and one-click disabling of potential security vulnerabilities such as ActiveX, Java and JavaScript.

In fact, it was initially released under the name 'IEopera', though this was soon changed due to trademark concerns. The developer's objective was to wrap a comparable interface around the layout engine used by Internet Explorer, thereby achieving Opera-like ergonomics without suffering the frequent problems that browser had rendering pages tested only in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11 are supported.Īvant Browser was largely inspired by Opera, the first major browser to have a multiple document interface.

It runs on Windows 2000 and above, including Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. 17 March 2020 3 years ago ( 17 March 2020)Īvant Browser is a discontinued freeware web browser from a Chinese programmer named Anderson Che with the browser engines Trident, Gecko and Webkit the user can switch between.
