==History and development==

Avant Browser was largely inspired by [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]], the first major browser to have a [[multiple document interface]]. The developer's objective was to wrap a comparable interface around the [[Browser engine|layout engine]] used by Internet Explorer, thereby achieving Opera-like [[human factors and ergonomics|ergonomics]] without suffering the frequent problems that browser had rendering pages tested only in Internet
  Explorer. In fact, it was initially released under the name "IEopera", though this was soon changed due to trademark concerns.

Later, Avant's developer, Anderson Che, has concentrated on adding user-requested features, and Avant was among the first browsers to have [[Pop-up ad|popup]] blocking, advertising server blocking, and one-click disabling of potential security vulnerabilities such as [[ActiveX]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[ECMAScript|JavaScript]].
