The Avast Secure Browser Review is one of the best browsers that place the most importance on security and privacy, with features like Bank Mode and Anti-Tracking Technology. It comes with an integrated VPN that lets you stay secure and access the internet quickly. It is built on Chromium which means that it functions and looks just like Chrome and supports Chrome extensions, as well as its own set of security-oriented extensions.
Avast Secure Browser includes a variety of security and privacy extension pre-installed. These include an adblocker as well as an antiphishing extension, an extension for anti-tracking and fingerprint masking, HTTPS encryption, extension guard, password manager, and even the ability double-check credentials on websites like HaveIBeenPwned. All these extensions are accessible within the browser’s Security & Privacy Center. You can also configure each of them depending on your preferences.
The adblocker is robust and can be set to block all ads. It can also block flash files, which helps pages load faster. The browser can also identify phishing websites and warn you about scams that could be a possibility. However it is not as robust than Google’s Scam Alert.
The browser claims to be «track proof,» but this is an elaborate method of saying that it utilizes the Do Not Track standard, which isn’t as robust as it should be. The anti fingerprinting capabilities of the browser are also limited and only scramble part of your user agent string.
