The Avant Browser...


Here it is, displaying it's 'What's New' page. It was developed (and still is) by a Chinese programmer, who has incorporated a lot of user suggestions and requests into it, and it gets a lot of very favorable reviews.  It is probably more configurable than any browser you have ever seen. You should check it out...

  2. @ Uncle Ron:

    I've been making some changes lately because a week or so ago I got hit by that ransomware that locked up my browser and encrypted my files, and demanded a hundred bucks to turn me loose.
    It took me hours to clean up that mess, and since then, I've been going over my security, and making some changes, and trying different things. And ever since then, those bastards that messed things up have been trying to get back into my computer to mess it up again.

    So this isn't just me fooling around for the hell of it - I'm looking for and installing safer ways of doing things. And I'm passing along some of the findings. Not all of them, but some. So please be patient. It's either this or pull the plug on the whole damned thing and throw it into the big blue bin. I'm certainly not looking forward to spending half my time making sure this damned thing is safe to use, and then wondering if it really is. If it's going to be that much trouble, then I'll have to find some other hobby.

    And as for which is best, that's changing all the time, and that's why it's a constant battle between the good guys and the bad guys. I originally got the computer to learn something new, but what I'm learning is that there's a hell of a lot of crooks out there trying to screw it up all the time, and that takes the fun out of it for sure.
