Safe browser for browsing bank websites

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall I am quite satisfied with using Avast Secure Browser in the avast security suite

Pros:

Avast's antivirus protection is very effective, and web browsing with Avast Secure Browser makes me more relaxed than other browsers, so I mainly use Avast Secure Browser to browse banking sites.

Cons:

When installing, it keeps opening along with the operating system loading and you have to disable this option manually.

The great protector!!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I've been a soft user for about two years and I adapted easily to it, I've seen its growth and it's always being updated, I like it because my devices are much lighter and the protection it offers is more attractive than in any other company.

Pros:

Easy to install and configure, I like the daily reminders to scan the system, VPN is increasingly strengthening the entire operating system and it's not heavy.

Cons:

The pro version could also be free, making life easier for the user, as this version is much more complete.

This browser is so annoying if you have another one.

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: I use Avast Secure Browse when I need to work on a website as a developer. It's a good browser but I think all of us prefer to use Chrome or Firefox or another browser. Well, my problem whit this is that browser is set itself as the default browser and it's so annoying so I need to change the browser every day. If you're a developer I'm recommended the browser but I'll let you know that it is a little bit annoying sometimes.

Pros:

- Security - Malwares are blocked- It has a good "face"

Cons:

- Setting the browser by itself as default browser

Very good - but has a flaw.

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Generally very good. I still need Chrome for some things, but mostly use this browser for privacy and security.

Pros:

It's just very good and provides the protection you want.

Cons:

Big flaw: if you use it all day, it slows down to a crawl. This doesn't happen with Chrome. I am using version 109.0.19987.120 . You have to close it and reopen it.Another flaw: right clicking text and selecting "Translate" doesn't work as often as it does on Chrome.

PC version is excellent, Android version no so much!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I feel confident that my data is not being harvested by ASB.

Pros:

I really like ASB for my laptop. I made the transition and stopped using Chrome. ASB for PC is top notch!!!

Cons:

ASB for my Android phone was clunky and hard to use. I tried it for a couple of weeks and got fed up and frustrated. So I uninstalled the app.

My experiance with this Secure Browser

5.0 last year

Comments: I had a good experience with... It made browsing safer through its great and important features to make it more advanced. I think it deserves five stars.

Pros:

what i loved about it that the browser often includes a Bank Mode, which is designed to provide a secure environment for online banking transactions. It isolates the browser from the rest of the system to prevent potential security risks during financial transactions.

Cons:

it's can be resource-intensive, leading to slower performance on older or less powerful computers.

This app is absolutely amazing

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: This is great app for anyone who values privacy and wants to browse the internet safely and ad-free.

Pros:

This app has many useful features. One of my favorite features is blocking unwanted ads. The application works smoothly on android devices. Another positive feature is the automatic removal of browsing data on exit. Thanks to this, I do not leave traces of my browsing history on mobile device. It may help save your mobile data by removing unwanted ads. Privacy statistics show: private browsing data, number of blocked ads and amount of times the vpn hid real IP address.

Cons:

Limited vpn locations. All the rest is great.

Avast For Faster And More Secure Browsing

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: 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.

Very lightweight to use, and also provides heightened user security

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Avast Secure Browser has been a very useful program to have on all my personal and professional devices. In this age of constant file sharing and online downloads, it feels great to know that I can use a browser which is able to assess files before they are even downloaded and opened on the device. The frequency of my routine drive scans, and the number of threats identified during these scans have greatly reduced since I began using Avast Secure Browser.

Pros:

What I found most useful about Avast Secure Browser was the efficiency with which it managed and filtered spam, online security threats, and downloaded files. When downloading files from the internet, I feel the safest when using Avast Secure Browser because it always flags potential threats that are allowed by other browsers.

Cons:

Notifications are extremely difficult to manage and can be quite a nuisance when they keep popping up incessantly.

For security, try Avast Secure Browser.

4.0 2 years ago

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.

5.0 3 years ago

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.
