It took a bit to figure out where bookmarks were but I live this app now. The only thing I miss is searching from a highlighted word but other browser list that ability as well. Maybe I accidentally shut the option off. Great app and I plan to pay for a yr once I get my new fone activated this week.
Reviews for AVG Secure Browser
← Back to AVG Secure BrowserBrowser worked well for a few days, but now closes automatically whenever I try to use it. I attempted to reset the browser multiple times, cleared the cache, and uninstall then reinstall the app, but nothing worked.
Love this browser! However, it is not working as of the last couple days on my Samsung S24+. Device updated and since then, it crashes almost immediately after opening, even after deleting and reloading the app.
broken , constant reminder of the app closing..will not work on my phone, constant crashing. never tried to really use because I have the avg secure VPN.. soo if theirs a conflict between the two idk I know my VPN works. but for the browsing option I'm not sure and have try a few times to use this direct secured app ..just keeps closing, so I never really tried till now.
Very irritating. 1) I keep some websites open and no matter what page the site was closed on, it always goes back to a different page, one I haven't looked at for weeks. 2) Links in emails and WhatsApp don't open. The screen flashes, then nothing happens. I have to copy the link and paste it into my browser myself. 3) At certain times, the app decides that it won't open any sites at all for "security", when I had them open a couple of hours earlier. I'm going back to Chrome.
update: yes I complained to the 'app developer' link below and was given an automated email that, "this email is not monitored, please reach out via...". fix yo 💩!!! and fix your contact info... ________ unable to use. the app will open long enough to type part of a URL and then it just closes... not off to a good start with this browser change... 4/29 problems persist... not thrilled I've paid for vpn and anti virus and now I can even use the browser on my phone?
The mobile version of AVG Secure Browser still crashes very regularly and consistently for me on the latest Android platform/Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. This app is completely unusable by me in its current state. I cannot in good faith recommend this app to anyone on Android.
So far it's terrible. Go to a sites then it keeps popping in and out everytime I press a button Terri it's terrible this will be second time I've written something things you go to a site pops in and out just every time you put your key I wrote this before and then it disappeared I've got a writing again yes uninstall
I thought that this would be a great application, but I've had to recertify the activated even downloaded it and paid for it several times because it kept thinking that it was an unpurchased item. There seems to be A LOT in this application and I for one will be complaining about it to try and get my money back or at least reallocated within the same company. Good luck to anybody else that downloads this application, though!
I purchased this app a month ago. Worked fine at the beginning, however, few days ago the app stopped connecting with the server. Tried Uninstall/reinstall but this time couldn't restore my purchases despite all my trials. Have sent more than 10 follow up emails to the app customer service without any solution. I would give the app 0 stars, but unfortunately it's not an option. Stay away from it!!
After downloading this browser and using it to view a few pages, I closed it. Now, after starting it again, when I touch the screen of the last viewed page (reloaded), the app "retreats" into the background, and I'm thrown back to the Android home screen. The AVG browser is still shown as active, but when I bring it forward again, the same thing happens … over and over. I don't even have the opportunity to enter a URL. :-(
Private tab still keep my search history. No way to prevent or delete it.
Awesome crawler, protects against anything, like wearing a condom for the net! The ads are smaller now, so that's good. The VPN is easy to use, and for me, it works better than surfsharks. All AVG's software can be relied on to simply work, without constantly nagging you with pop-ups. For me, it's the first thing I install on anything that hits the net!
Horrible browser, I bought one year's subscription. I had to uninstall it due to rising temperature of my phone day by day. My phone use to get so hot that I couldn't hold it. It is use less on android devices. It refreshes constantly and uses background data, which damages the device. As soon I uninstalled it after one and half month, my phone's temperature went down within 10 minutes. I would never recommend it
Absolutely awful! Have used it on two separate phones from different brands and same issue. Works fine at first, then it randomly starts dropping connections to sites in the middle of browsing. And now it won't connect to any at all! I guess the best way to ensure Internet security is never being allowed on it in the first place!
So far this browser blows away Firefox. Trying to use a secure browser as rock solid as the Tor Network without having to use the Tor Network. This is most definitely the closest browser I have found. It has the search features of Google and the security features of Samsung. It's a underrated browser. Pay the $9 a year, it's a no brainer. VPN, Custom Modes, etc. No need for adding plugs and or extensions when they are already part of the browser? You just need to arrange it the way you want it.
My VPN got switched and it went from decent, if a tad slow, to horrible. I cannot switch it back. It won't often download sites properly - they show up in a form that reminds me of sites that were garbled up in bad loading during the 2000s. Sometimes the site will not load at all. Refreshing the browser doesn't work to solve the problem either. There is no way I can do my shopping or pay bills with something like this and expect things to be ok.
Pretty good internet browser. Found my Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung bookmarks. Does not play well with Google and has an annoying "This browser is not the default browser, Click Here" button on its home screen. Also, does not have an option to select another home screen. I have been using it to increase my confidence level. UPDATE: Found a way to select a home page which helps (and which improves it over Firefox which requires a sign in a sync delay prior to being able to customize the home page. Found that I needed to delete all cookies, cache files, etc. a couple of days after using it to prevent slowdown. I have been wondering about add-ons and other tweaks to improve my personal experience.
I would give this app 5 stars, BUT it is terrible when it comes to downloading things! Whenever I download something, the item goes to a hidden media vault that is difficult to access. I have had trouble with this for the last 2 days! Then when I find what I am looking for, the vault will not let me save to another location. I am going to start using another browser (not AVG) for downloading!
As far as the browser itself goes, I love it! It gives me flexibility to set things up the way I want them, not the way Google or whoever wants them to be. So far AVG has made me feel very secure with all of their helpful tools, not just the browser. The ads, on the other hand, which you get stuck with if you can't afford to buy their premium packages, are filthy pics of half naked women and scams for everything you can think of, so don't assume the ads are safe just cause AVG's software is.
