4) Customize rendeirng engine

You can also assign rendering mode for certain webpages. For example, you set firefox rendering mode as default, thus all pages will be opened under firefox mode,but you want always open gmail with IE rendering mode without changing it every time manually. At this time you can assign gmail always open in IE rendering mode.

The steps are as follows:

Tools>Avant Browser Options>Redering engine>Add
① Select HTTP sites and then add the url of gmail.
② Assign rendering engine(IE7,IE8,IE9,firefox)>OK.

Something need to notice:

①Links from the page that has been assigned rendering mode will be opened in the same rendering mode.
For example:If you assign IE8 mode for gmail, open the links from gmail will also be opend in IE8 mode; But if you open the same link from adress bar, it will be opend in the default rendering mode.
② If you change rendering mode of one page, then open the links from this page will be opened in the same rendering mode.
For example, your default rendering mode is firefox, you change the rendering mode of http://www.avantbrowser.com page to IE8, then the links from http://www.avantbrowser.com page will be opened in IE8 mode.
③ when add a website, for example: http://www.avantbrowser.com, you must add http:// prefix. That’s http://www.avantbrowser.com

5) Startup of autofills

Users can open the links under AutoFill>Startup when start avant browser.

The steps:

AutoFill>Startup—

[attachment=1]1.JPG[/attachment]
Add your autofills that you want to open when start Avant browser to the Startup folder. (You can also move your autofills to Starup folder in Organize Autofills)

P.S. We also add the Startup in Reopen page.

Something need to notice:

①This option only works when you have autofills under Startup folder
② You cannot add subfolder under Startup folder.

6) Re-Open window

If you saved the opened pages when exit avant browser, the next time you start Avant, a Re-Open window will pop up.
We add three new options here: Open home page, Open all items under [AutoFill Startup], Open extra home pages

[attachment=1]1.JPG[/attachment]

Notice:
The relationship of these two options:
Tools>Avant browser Options>Home page>Open all items under [AutoFill Startup] on startup VS Open all items under [AutoFill Startup] on Re-Open window

[attachment=0]2.JPG[/attachment]

Tools>Avant browser Options>Home page>Check Open all items under [AutoFill Startup] on startup. When you see the Re-Open window, if you click Cancel, it will open all the items under [AutoFill Startup], If you click OK, then the checked items on Re-Open window will be open.

7) Add shortcut for clear records panel:shift+ctrl+delete

Path of Gecko and Webkit profiles

Gecko and Webkit profiles are saved into Avant Profiles. By default, Avant Profiles is saved in %appdata%. How to change the path of Avant Profiles, please go to Tools>Avant browser options>Profile>please choose profile folder.
