If you’re a Chrome, Firefox or Edge user, you probably do not give much thought to alternative web browsers. Avast Secure browser is a great choice if you want a browser that puts an emphasis on security and privacy. The Chromium browser comes with the ability to click-reference VPN as well as an ad blocker, among other features.
You can modify the settings of the ad blocker and activate strict blocking mode in order to block even the most persistent ads. It also comes with the uBlock Origin plug-in, which has dynamic filters and third-party lists that provide better control. Its phishing protection keeps your information safe from fraudulent websites, while its banking mode protects your passwords, credit card details and other sensitive information hidden from prying eyes.
Other features include tab grouping, which makes browsing multiple open tabs easier by keeping them in a group and organized. It is able to sync bookmarks, history and other data across different platforms to allow you to continue browsing from where you have left off. It also blocks ads on websites which helps speed up website loading times.
Avast’s web browser appears almost identical to Google Chrome. It lets you import all of your bookmarks, configuration settings and other optional features. 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 great web browser with plenty of privacy and security features.
