Avast Secure Browser is a Chromium-based web browser that is packed with a range of privacy and security features. It’s a great choice for people who are already happy with their current browser, but would like to add additional features such as ad-blocking and a VPN. It also comes with a variety of personalization options making it great for those that want to configure their internet exactly how they like it. It’s also quick and is compatible across all platforms, so you can get the same browsing experience across all devices, with bookmarks and history that follow you.
You’ll notice immediately how fast this browser is. It’s the same speed as Chrome and that speed extends into real-world use. The browser also blocks ads to keep your browsing free of distractions and will stop flash data files which will help websites load faster. It comes with an anti-tracking feature which prevents websites from tracking you. It also scans your passwords on websites like HaveIBeenPwned, and make sure they are safe.
The browser comes with a couple of extensions already installed but you can download more easily via the Store. Bank Mode is one of the most useful features. It’s an sandbox feature that runs your browser and other applications in a virtual computer, which is separated from your main system. This is designed to safeguard you from phishing scams by keeping your bank information private.
