### "Best Browser for safe and secure browsing"

September 22, 2021

5.0

Safe Browser with good speed. Protection against Online threats. The browser extensions of Avast browser gives you good options for security and protection while browsing online.

Pros

For maintaining protection from online threats this is one of the best choice. Avast has been well known for its security against virus and other online threats. Interface is good and browsing speed is also good. For secure plus fast browsing Avast Secure Browser is good choice. You can maintain good privacy and Password protection is also amazing.

Cons

Haven't found any missing security features that I wanted.

### "Avast For Faster And More Secure Browsing"

September 10, 2021

4.0

I do a lot of browsing and researching the Web for my work and Avast Secure Browser speeds it all up by cutting out the ads. Moreover, I enjoy greater security.

Pros

I liked the way I could load and browse pages without them being slowed down by ads. Also, the bank mode for visiting my banking websites made me feel much more secure. The fact that Avast had previewed a load of browser extensions for security and safety was excellent and gave me confidence when selecting, installing and using extensions. It's based on Chromium (Chrome browser) so I did not have to learn anything new to start using it.

Cons

I found bank mode a bit confusing because when I was in standard Chrome (not Avast browser) I was prompted to open a bank website in bank mode. I was not prompted the same when in Avast Browser. I wasn't sure if I was automatically in Bank mode when I was using Avast Browser.

### "For security, try Avast Secure Browser."

July 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

The speed with which Avast Secure Browser handled and filtered spam, Internet security threats, and downloaded files were what I appreciated the most about it. I feel most secure when downloading files from the internet using Avast Secure Browser, as it always warns of potential threats that other browsers approve.

Cons

Alerts and warnings about dangers might be a little bothersome at times. Otherwise, the app is good.

### "Too good, to the point where it can be annoying."

May 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

It has a fairly friendly interface, which makes it easy to understand from the first use. It fulfills its purpose of ensuring the integrity of your data, which to a certain extent can be a bit annoying, but in general it is a good product for any user who wants to surf the Internet safely. It offers good guarantees for the information that is handled through it.

Cons

Sometimes alerts and warnings about risks can be a bit annoying, unintentionally making the user want to avoid them. Also, I think you should try to mimic the way of browsing and using other popular but not so secure browsers so that Avast becomes more popular and commonly used.

Overall, I still use it on occasion, it nice, does the job like most browsers.

Pros

Like most browsers, it nice and easy to use with some added features such as Adware block that make browsing safe and secure. Highly recommended

Cons

Really nothing to say that I liked least about this software, like most browsers, it can freeze up for a second, causing you to go, huh but otherwise, no real problems.

### "Excellent browser option"

June 11, 2021

4.0

I found Avast secure browser to be a great choice for ensuring privacy and security while browsing.

Pros

1\. Has more features related to privacy, security etc. than other browsers. 2. Good option for people looking for privacy protection browser. 3. Has good GUI for Privacy and Security features. It is shown in almost the same style as extensions are in chrome based browsers. 4. I did not find any slowdown because of the extra features the browser has. 5. It is easy to setup and use. 6. I like that it does not change the chrome GUI at all.

Cons

I did not find anything to dislike in the application and I found the webpages loading to be a bit faster than some of the other browsers.

### "servicio automatizado, poco feedback con la compañía"

May 11, 2023

4.0

La experiencia en general es razonablemente satisfactoria, puesto que estás cubierto bastante bien, ante posibles ataques, y en seguida que te metes en algún tipo de página peligrosa, se te muestra y te protegen.

Pros

anteriormente no había utilizado VPN, me parece importante de cara a la seguridad. La implementación es sencilla, siempre que no tengas problema. Como tengas algún problema, tienes que reinstalar casi seguro.

Cons

Ultimamente se están produciendo demasiados cortes en la comunicación, el programa corta por problemas de seguridad, y no sabes muy bien a qué puede ser debidos estos cortes

### "A Fast and Highly Secure Browser"

December 21, 2025

5.0

Overall experience good bank mode are very useful to more secure for transaction some times problem with over consume ram

Pros

I especially like the Bank Mode feature which provides a secure virtual desktop for online banking and sensitive transactions protecting against hackers It is built on Chromium, so it feels as fast as Google Chrome but with much better privacy controls right out of the box

Cons

the browser frequently pushes notifications to upgrade or buy other Avast products which can be distracting The Bank Mode also takes a few extra seconds to launch which can be a bit slow when you are in a hurry

Pros

It is faster than most to detect you went to a bad site, which these days can be hard to tell with Cyrillic lettering being used

Is seems clunky and basically just a chrome rip off that doesn't seem to really have the same functionality
