He tried. It came out lopsided and warped and tasting suspiciouslyI don't think: I've tried it for a while, but I didn't find it
funnier (??), smarter, quicker...but only lacking some features .
Give us some arguments, no slogans.
Works for me. Avant 10.1 build 22 with Windows XP Pro.

Not this: now there are (too) many software like this that seems made
by a for-next cicle [for n:=1 to 10 do
CreateTabbedBrowser(RandomName);].
OK, this has P2P & anti-phising, but for a not-newbye user these
aren't so important; all the other 1000 & more functions are (more or
less) in Maxthon, Avant, GreenBrowser, Acoo, AmBrowser, FastBrowser,
SlimBrowser, the japanese too...
At the beginning, I thought they were similar 'cause starting from a
common source code (MyIE, if I remember right), but now, after years,
nothing is changed: a one add "mouse gestures", all other offer it in
the next release,....and so on.
The choice is difficult because they are very similar and the
decision is based on small features (if not only look & skin
considerations).
If Maxthon (that I use) become shareware, I will use Avant or
Greenbrowser nearly without a learning period (only an initial
setting).

P.S. In this quiet & peaceful land of multi-tabbed add-on for IE,
what will happen when the next Internet Explorer (multi-tabbed) will
come to light ?
Medium/high end user will continue to use these programs, 'cause I
doubt that Microsoft will add so many features in a single release,
but perhaps it will ne enough for newbyes.
Surely there will be a great work to adapt these software to IE7, I
suppose.
Here it is some of the IE7 new features (still in Beta 1) from
Microsoft site:
- Dynamic security protection through a simplified architecture that
helps defend against malware and new ways to better protect against
personal data theft from fraudulent Web sites - a practice known as
phishing
- Faster and easier completion of everyday tasks with improved
navigation through tabbed browsing, inline search right from the
toolbar, shrink-to-fit Web page printing, and a more sleekly
redesigned interface (currently in its early stages as of beta 1)
- New tools to take users directly to the information they want
through support for RSS Web feeds that includes automatic discovery
on Web pages, basic RSS reading capabilities, and rudimentary support
for saving Web feeds as one of their Favorites
- Platform enhancements to improve compatibility and manageability,
including improved support for cascading style sheets (CSS) as well
as transparent portable network graphics (PNG) support

Does it still open windows or has it gone to tabs as well. The one
thing I did not like about Avant (the only thing) was new windows within
the main windoe opening up. It was not tabbed. I realize that is an
obscure want, but I can dream, eh?

Avant is a tabbed browser. Every window has it's own tab. I don't
recall Avant ever doing what you are saying and I've been using it for
quite some time.

Maybe my terminology is not correct, and if so I am sorry. The Avant
that I used (up to version 9.something) had individually resizable
windows that had their own buttons (not really 'tabbed' but close) and
the problem that we had using it was that some of our web apps need
browser windows to be a certain size and we had problems with Avant, but
not in Mozilla.
Mind you I am not being critical. The only reason I did not use it was
the previiously mentioned reason. It does a very good job for 99.9% of
the things I needed it for.
