If you use Chrome, Firefox, or Edge you might not give alternative web browsers a second glance. Avast Secure browser is a great choice when you’re looking for a browser that is focused on security and privacy. The browser that is based on Chromium offers the ability to use a click reference VPN, ad blocking and other features.
Its ad blocker lets you modify the settings and enable strict blocking mode to block out even the most persistent ads. It also can be used with the uBlock Origin plugin, which includes third-party filter list lists and dynamic filters for better control. Its phishing detection helps to protect you from fraudulent sites and its banking mode protects your passwords and credit card details from prying eyes.
Tab grouping is another feature that helps you navigate through multiple tabs by keeping them organized. It also syncs bookmarks, history, and other data across all platforms to allow you to continue browsing from where you started. It also blocks online ads to speed up loading times on websites.
Avast’s web browser appears almost the same as Google Chrome. And it allows you to import your existing settings, bookmarks, as well as other features that are available as you switch to the new browser. 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 has a variety of security and privacy options.
