If you’re a Chrome, Firefox or Edge user you probably don’t give a second thought to other web browsers. Avast Secure browser is a good choice if you want a browser that puts an emphasis on security and privacy. The Chromium browser has the ability to click-reference VPN and ad blocker among other features.
Its ad blocker lets you modify the settings and activate strict blocking mode to block out even the most persistent ads. It also supports the uBlock Origin plug-in, which provides dynamic filters and third-party lists to provide better control. Its phishing detection helps to protect you from fraudulent sites, while its banking mode hides your passwords and credit card information from the eyes of a snooper.
Other features include tab grouping, which makes browsing multiple tabs more efficient by keeping them together and well-organized. It also syncs bookmarks and history across different platforms so that you can browse where you left off on another device. It also blocks ads on websites which helps speed up website loading speeds.
If you’re already familiar with Google Chrome, you’ll feel at home with Avast’s version of the browser since it looks similar to Google Chrome. It lets you import all your bookmarks, settings for configuration and other features that are optional. The only drawback is that it sends usage statistics and crash reports to Avast’s servers, which you can change at secure://settings/importData. It’s a solid web browser that comes with a lot of security and privacy features.
