Avant Force Joins the Browser Wars by Releasing New Orca Web Browser Based on Firefox Platform

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS ANGELES, CA, September 9 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Avant Force, creators of the critically
acclaimed Avant Browser, today announced the launch of the new Orca web
browser. The Orca Browser is an extremely fast and user-friendly web
browser designed to add key functionality out of the box (and not requiring
additional extensions) based on the Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3) platform. The
Orca Browser is dedicated to supporting socially responsible causes such as
improving the environment which will be part of future initiatives.

With the recently launched Google Chrome browser based on Apple's webkit,
the same rendering engine powering the Safari browser, Avant Force shows
support for Firefox with Orca. The Orca Browser supports Firefox extensions
and includes many new features which do not require any type of additional
extension downloads that may cause speed or performance limitations. They
include the following:

-- Avant Online Storage allows users to create a unique account with
username and password to save and access personal settings such as
bookmarks, RSS feeds, configurations and web passwords. Conveniently access
personal data from any location such as your office, home or Internet caf?.

-- Ad Blocker and Flash Blocker included settings help dramatically
increase surfing speeds when enabled

-- Built-in RSS/ATOM Reader: read RSS/ATOM feeds just like browsing web
pages, and keep your favorite feeds as bookmarks.

-- Auto Form-Filler allows user to have a master security password to
memorize multiple log ins/passwords for user visited sites

-- Multiple User Preferences such as selecting browser skins and button
customization

-- Additional Mouse Functions: Open new windows with the middle mouse

button: great for opening forum posts. Also includes customizable Mouse
Gestures to easily navigate the browser by moving the mouse.


"Due to the tremendous success and adoption of the Avant Browser, we
received many requests to provide the same type of experience on the more
open Firefox platform," stated Anderson Du, president of Avant Force. "We
spent over 3 years of research and development time to create features
which really improve the user experience on the new Orca Browser. We are
pleased that we are able to address the needs of our loyal user base."
