I've been using Avant for about a year now and so far haven't had any major heartburn with it. Sure there are a few tweaks that might make it more acceptable to a lot of people. I tried Firefox and liked it, but I couldn't get Roboform to work with it. I won't use IE until it is sufficiently safe. I tried MYIE2 and wasn't too happy with it. Then it was replaced by Maxthon which I thought was better. I haven't looked at Netscape for several years but I understand that it has improved considerably. Maybe it's time to try it again. Nevertheless, I'm holding out for Google to come up with the be-all, end-all of browsers.
