Back when I was browser hunting for a Windows friend, I came across this; http://www.avantbrowser.com/ and just about died laughing at the hype on this webpage alone. The images look like they are promoting a new graphics card. You could almost imagine the webpage being read in the deep movie guy voice over. Some to most of their "100% guarantees" are questionable at best. They say things like "no advertisements and no malware" and "no memory leak" not fewer or less but none. I am a doctor and I never deal in absolutes.
Don't bother looking for a Linux version but for laughs I had her download and we gave it a test run. First she was looking for on the fly translation which this apparently doesn't have. I went to a heavy flash webpage with flash games. They told me the browser was out of date please upgrade to Chrome, IE, or Safari. So this explains how they prevent or block those ads if the browser has issues with flash.
She was pressed for time so we removed Avant Browser. Otherwise I'm certain more testing would have discovered much more results about this odd browser. I don't mean to make sport of people's hard work, but if you want to wrestle control out of the hands of IE, Chrome or Fox, you need to be honest, support common features, and not just run a graphic intense webpage.
