![]() ![]() One example is the ‘bank mode', which opens a virtual computer when you visit websites where you’re dealing with important information – such as online banking. If you have other Avast services installed on your computer, the number of features increases a lot. Unfortunately, this setting is not as visible as the ad blocker, since you will need to click the three dots to open the menu to get to it. Moreover, you also get a video downloader that lets you download videos from any website you are visiting, YouTube included. It comes enabled by default, but you can disable it anytime without even going into the browser's settings. Nevertheless, Avast comes with a handful of features that will respond to almost all users' needs.Īvast Secure Browser comes with a built-in ad blocker, which you can find on the right side of the address tab. However, extensions that will change this browser’s interface are out of the picture, which means that no themes are allowed. ![]() It does come with a built-in extension block, but Avast Secure Browser always gives you decision power and will let you install any extension whose source you confirm to be trustworthy. Since Avast Secure Browser is a Chromium browser, it’s compatible with most Chrome extensions. For now, it's only fully available for Windows 8 and onwards, but there is already an early access version for macOS users. However, that also means extensions are limited, and therefore no themes are available, which is a fair trade-off when compared to full protection online. To do so, Avast Secure Browser comes with plenty of neat, built-in features that will make sure you can fearlessly surf the internet. Avast SafeZone’s successor, which was removed not long before this launch, comes with three main objectives: fast browsing, protecting personal info from malware, phishing, and other threats, and protecting your privacy. Will keep Secure Browser installed for now just in case someone knows how to get my bookmarks back coz I live in hope that I may have overlooked something and they are somewhere, waiting to be recovered.Avast has one of the most popular free antiviruses in the world, and in 2018, launched a free Chromium-based web browser: Avast Secure Browser. My paid-for AV Premium ends soon and will not be renewed, no matter what the deal. I have decided to end our long-term relationship. Losing several years worth of personal bookmarks is unbearable! What a bloody headache that one caused me! There's more but I don't have all night. Like Av Cleanup - which did exactly that after auto-starting without my input. Without going into details, Avast have riled me and upset my pc several times over the years with moves like sneaky higher payments with minimum notification, and half-truth auto installations. I mean, all SZ needed were a few tweaks (and the security issues fixed o) ).īut the worst part was, my bookmarks were gone! Every single link, GONE! I couldn't even import my bookmarks coz the new browser installed itself 'over' SZ, replacing it completely! A warning would have been nice!!Īvast was once good, reliable and had a great reputation. It has absolutely no character and no visuals like before. Then came Avast Secure Browser, installed without my permission - y'know, like malware does, but that's another story.Īnyhoo, I thought it would be even better than SZ. This became my main reason for using Safezone daily. I could find my way around them with relative ease. In Safezone, I had collected around 1000 bookmarks (maybe more) and all were painstakingly organised into groups and categories. But images help me visualise and remember stuff. I know this can be done in other browsers by way of extensions, but Safezone had this as standard.īut what I really, really, really liked was the Safezone homepage and bookmarks sidebar, and how it handled bookmarks. I used it constantly because of it's (alleged) security and pro's like the ability to download videos instantly and watch youtube vids without ads (oh the joy!). ![]() I actually really liked Avast's SafeZone Browser. ![]()
