I just downloaded the Avant Browser, and it was the answer to my prayers. I checked out Mozilla (both the old one and the new Firefox beta), but the downloads were so large and my very old crappy computer didn't meet the system spec requirements.
Avant uses the basic IE engine that's already in Windows, and it's interface boots from there. I don't know about the security issues and such, but it works a gagillion times better than IE ever did. It is a tabbed browser, and it includes full-screen or full-desktop modes with auto-hide toolbars -- LOTS of viewable space even on my small 15" monitor.
Plus, the entire download was only 1, yes ONE meg, and it installed in about 30 seconds -- didn't even have to reboot. I'm sure Mozilla would have been great as well -- but if you're one of the primitive ones on dialup (like me), or have an older machine, I highly recommend Avant as an option.
