Pop-Up Stopper vs. Avant Browser

Some time back, when I was still stuck on I.E. v 6,

Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition, from

http://www.panicware.com/product_psfree.html

was my choice of a freeware pop-up stopper.

About six months ago, I ran across an article about the Avant Browser, and have been using it ever since.

Not only does it feature an integral pop-up stopper, but even better, it allows

"Multi-Window Browsing: Browse multiple web pages simultaneously. All opened pages can be easily stopped, refreshed, closed or arranged with one click."

At work, on DSL, this is somewhat useful; but at home, on a dial-up connection (I'm off the beaten track), multiple windows allows for loading one site, while reading another.

Also, I really like the "groups" feature, grouping my favorites into a callable function.

After signing onto my dial-up connection, and clicking-on the Avant Browser icon, I can then select the appropriate "group", walk away, and my favorite sites (including DG Forums) loads automatically into multiple windows.

It's free, and available at http://www.avantbrowser.com/
