Avast Secure Browser is a Chrome-based web browser that offers a variety of security and privacy features. It’s a great choice for people who are already satisfied with their browser but want to add additional features such as advertising blockers and a VPN. It also has a range of personalization options, making it ideal for people who prefer to set up their browser exactly how they like it. It’s also fast and is compatible with all platforms, so you will get the same browsing experience across all devices. Bookmarks and history will follow you.
You’ll first notice how fast this browser is. It’s almost as quick as Chrome and this speed is carried across to the real world. It also blocks ads to ensure that your browsing experience is free of distractions and will block flash data files that will help websites load faster as well. It has an anti-tracking option that stops websites from tracking you. It also checks your passwords on websites such as HaveIBeenPwned and ensure that they’re secure.
The browser comes with a handful of extensions already installed, but you can install more easily via the Store. One of the most fascinating is Bank Mode which is a similar feature to a sandbox, which runs your browser and other applications within a virtual machine isolated from your main system. This is intended to shield your identity from frauds that involve phishing by keeping your banking data private.
