Description
Been using Avast Secure Browser for a couple months now. It’s basically a privacy-focused web browser that blocks ads and trackers to keep you safe and secure online. Pretty solid app if you’re into private browsing.
Here’s what you can do: there’s a built-in VPN to hide your location and encrypt your data, plus an ad blocker to stop those annoying pop-ups. It’s got some other handy features too like a password manager and file shredder. Took me a while to figure some of it out but it’s all pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.
Look, if you’re into private browsing and want extra security, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the VPN can slow things down sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if that’s what you’re looking for.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Avast Secure Browser. I've tested a bunch of privacy browsers and this one's pretty solid. The built-in VPN and ad blocker work really well, and I like the extra security features like the password manager. It's not the fastest browser out there but the tradeoff for the privacy is worth it in my opinion. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you want a secure, private browsing experience.

Open link in new tap should open it next to the current tap. The same should apply when using the plus sign. The plus sign in the bottom bar behaves...
latest update went a great way to make the app usable. worth giving another shot if you were having issues before
I want to give 4 stars because its crashing sometimes. I'm using Samsung galaxy S20+. So at least it should work without crashing. I have a lot of free space...
