My Bad. I edited my post and added the link to the orca page and the download link.

Avant is it's own web browser which really isn't all that bad, btw. Orca is a combo of Avant and FF. Pretty slick too.

they should've used google's javascript engine >.< feels slow when loading ajax heavy websites such as meebo. looks like opera which is a negative imo :/
otherwise it seems like its just another browser?
