Actually what you're running there
is IE - that's how deeply it's embedded into the OS.
And while I'm at it, I'll mention that Windows Help, Outlook, Outlook Express and numerous other apps use IE for rendering content.
Right click any Windows Help page and you'll see an IE dialog popup.

Avant is the fastest browser ever made, it's download is 1.3MB, it has an pop-up blocker, ad-blocker, built-in search bar, tabbed browsing, plugin support, theme support, and many others that I can't think off the top of my head. |
Avant, which is a modification of the IE GUI, is 1.3MB and it's not a browser in it's own right.
It has the same speed, security issues and memory leaks that IE has, because
it is IE.
You obviously don't know enough about browser technology to provide a worthwhile contribution so I suggest you stay out of it.
