Avast Secure Browser Reviews

by Hfksjsirbs

Compared to other browsers, this is weak. I really like Avast security and VPN, but the browser leaves much to be desired. One of the single most infuriating things is that if you have a browser open, but need to open another window to search something else, the other browser will completely re-load when you switch back again. Really annoying for video sites like Bitchute, as it will not save your spot on the video you were watching. I’m also annoyed that I can’t change my default homepage. There are a lot of bugs, I could spend hours writing, most of which center on opening more than one tab at a time. Pretty annoying.

I get that you guys run a business, but it’s funny when you are blocking ads and at the top of the main page is a “Upgrade Now” button. Crap man, if I wanted to upgrade I would.

I remember many years ago Avast was amazing because they made good stuff and never pushed their product. But at some point it became “Upgrade now”, “Use This”, etc. Really diminishes their product.

It’s way better than safari but the only issue is that when I type the font is white. It’s near impossible to read the search bar. And dark mode does not seem to work. Idk if this is on my end or the apps issue but I hope it fixes soon

For a browser that purports to protect one’s privacy is rather odd that when you try to see Avast’s privacy policy in AvastSecureBrowser the screen goes blank and then reverts to the home screen. Haven’t seen it yet so I’m not using AvastSecureBrowser .

UPDATE - The developers responded to my review demonstrating what I believe to be good customer care. I went back and found that my pop up blocker was preventing the privacy policy from loading. The blocker was set only for Safari so I don’t know why this browser was affected. With the blocker turned off I can see the privacy policy.

I’ve noticed that AvastSecureBrowser takes up an increasing amount of memory on my phone and iPad. After using it for only a few searches, the memory used jumped from 137mb to over 400mb and increasing. Most of this increase is data storage. What’s up with that? And is there a way to fix this? Good app otherwise but the memory issue is a potential deal breaker.

I was logging in one day and AvastSecureBrowser didn’t read my face properly and locked me out, I seem to have forgotten my passcode and cannot figure out how to change it.

As a mobile notary, I received many secure documents via email, secure portals, etc. Having a completely secure browser is an absolute must! Thank God for avast… I would be lost without it.

AvastSecureBrowser has made me feel a lot more secure online and using their browser has also made me feel much more secure in making purchases again. As a victim I am pleased with their service!!!!

This is a great browser. I’ve been using it for about a month and have had no problems. I love the fact that it’s secure and fast. In fact I like it so much I deleted my Google app so I don’t have to be spied on just to search the web!

by Rainbow6games

Use this on pc as well as phone it’s very good for security an will save you many times the adblocker is also nice

The browser is fast even with the vpn on and it’s easy to use. Only thing that’s not clear on any of the Avast mobile apps is if the vpn encrypts cellular data as well as WiFi connection’s data if even at all. But the biometric password is a nice touch ;)

I don't have to touch the VPN setting when I open up the browser, it turns on automatically. Weird.
Can you tell me what other browser does that kind of weird thing? I Love using Google Chrome or Apple Safari, but their browser are not weird enough. I Love Avast too now, weird.

AvastSecureBrowser is awesome. I love AvastSecureBrowser because it prevents any ads from popping up related to what you have recently searched. I used to watch PornHub all the time on Safari and random porn ads would pop up when I was not watching PornHub. Now I can watch all the PornHub I want without having to worry about those random porn ads popping up when I let someone borrow my phone.

Of course I have no way of knowing what this browser does or how it works. Maybe a little test utility would be nice to challenge it and see what happens. The truth is these hackers are far more sophisticated sometimes more than the programmers themselves. But still grateful to have an option to protect ourselves with this browser program.

Update: when I used "system-wide" VPN (across all apps), my iPad is maddeningly slow. It was practically impossible to do anything with my photos/camera roll. I circumvent this problem by turning OFF system-wide. I use VPN on Avast Browser only. Back to 5 stars. I've encountered a few other annoying situations (logging in to social media when it does not recognize me, and annoying Google CAPTCHA's) as well. Usually it blocks ads, as promised. I do like AvastSecureBrowser 's search engine to discover a variety of PDF's, eBooks, new sites, and other items. This is my first experience with VPN. I'd say the benefit outweighs the liability of slowing things down, at this point. I do trust the Avast brand; I've been using their antivirus software for years.

I had been using DDG as my mobile browser and Avast as my desktop browser. As soon as DDG went full GoogTard and began censoring and labeling search results, I bit the bullet and purchases Avast Secure Browser Pro and set StartPage as my search engine. I do like a browser built on the Chrome framework with access to Chrome extensions and themes, and the privacy features and search engine options are well worth the annual fee.

This is the most secure browser on AvastSecureBrowser Store and I highly recommend it I just wish the Anti-Fingerprint feature was added soon. I also have a suggestion for the adblocker, my suggestion is that currently the strict adblock mode blocks 99% of ads but could you add a feature where strict mode blocks 100% of ads for people who have a paid avast subscription because it would make AvastSecureBrowser a lot better.

Earlier this year using this browser I experienced some waits. However I am using it currently, not experiencing unreasonable waits. I appreciate the VPN; plus the controls given me thru the browser's settings. Thank You!

From the anti phishing to the built in browser vpn. Avast secure browser will not let you down. After using it for years as well, I’m still learning or finding new little things that make me love it all over again.
