Unique functionality

Avast Secure Browser comes with built-in privacy and security features that shield you against a variety of attacks without compromising performance and reliability. That’s because it’s based on Chromium – an open-source project. This means that it provides all the efficiency and functionality of Google Chrome. Its graphical user interface is exactly the same as Google’s homegrown browser.

The key distinction is that the Avast Secure Browser has built-in privacy and security features and this all is available by the click of a button. To be precise you can get a clear overview in the Security & Privacy Center by clicking on the shield icon, displayed on the right of the address bar. When you press the icon, it will load a new tab showing all the privacy and security features that the browser provides to help defend you against attacks and scams.

The Anti-Tracking is a useful feature that blocks web servers from tracking your online activities.  On the other hand, the Anti-Fingerprinting feature makes your online fingerprint more unique and less visible while the Privacy Cleaner and Stealth Mode protects your browsing history and stops it from saving any caches and clutter that could violate your privacy.

Security features

Avast Secure Software also comes with real-time, 24/7 monitoring capabilities that make your user experience even better. The Extension Guard functionality forbids third-party applications from being installed unless they’ve been verified by you – the user. Anti-Phishing and Bank Mode blocks malicious sites and deters them from stealing your personal information by keylogging.

This privacy browser also comes with a Password Manager that helps you to log in quickly while keeping your login information secure. Because of its lightweight Chromium build, the speed of the Avast Secure Browser will certainly contend with similar applications like Google and Firefox; however, the built-in features like Adblock and Flash Block will render it much quicker. Adblock blocks most advertisements so web pages load quicker.

Flash Protect disrupts Flash-based content that can overwhelm computing resources and bog down the whole system. With Avast, you will be able to monitor which websites will access their webcam because of the Webcam Guard feature. The search engine will also impose HTTPS encryption on connections while surfing. Lastly, the browser also comes with an optimized video downloader but is not compatible with some websites like YouTube and Facebook.

Standout web browser

Avast ensures the safety and protection of its users with Avast Secure Browser. For additional stability, other Avast products such as Avast Free Antivirus and Avast Secureline VPN can be combined easily with the Avast Secure Browser. The catch is that it provides adequate online protection to at least guarantee a private internet user experience. Quick, safe, and user friendly,  Avast Secure Browser is certainly worth a try.
