This tool is the portable version of the well-known Avant Browser, one of the strongest software when it comes to web browsers.
Since it is a portable product, Avant Browser does not need to be installed, so the Windows registry files will not change. It also means that you can place Portable Avant Browser on a USB flash drive and use it from any computer.
The user interface of this app is pretty minimalistic, which is great news for most power users who do not want to deal with cluttered features.
From the File menu, you can manage multiple accounts, save web pages as HTML, text or image, import and export bookmarks, or start a new private browsing session.
Toolbars can be enabled or disabled, according to your preferences - standard buttons, address bar, search bar, bookmarks bar, add-on buttons, tabs bar, management bar, but you can also customize buttons (e.g. large or small icons, enable or disable text under buttons).
Additionally, you can switch to full screen or full desktop mode, but also split the view. You can also save forms, organize and password-protect AutoFill.
The Options menu allows you to completely customize Avant Browser's features - block unwanted pop-up pages, disable pictures, videos, sounds or scripts, configure the "new tab" command, mouse buttons and mouse gestures, enable Auto-Complete for the address tab, enable tray icon, specify email client for reading emails, change proxy server options, clear records, add URL aliases, and many more.
When it comes to speed, Avant Browser seems to perform faster than other web browsers, and it uses a smaller amount of CPU and memory resources.
We have not encountered any problems during our tests, so we definitely recommend you try Portable Avant Browser.
