User Reviews

Summary: Reviewers praise Avast Secure Browser for strong security, including malware protection, regular updates, and effective ad blocking, with some noting an easy-to-use interface. However, multiple reviews flag stability and performance issues (crashes, glitches, reloads), installation challenges, and account-management hurdles (sign-in and password manager access). The built-in VPN is a mixed bag—some appreciate it, but others report slow speeds and difficulty turning it off. Subscription/unsubscribe and refund concerns also appear. Overall, core protections are solid, but reliability and VPN usability need work.

I see now why the ratings are so low, Ad Blocking doesn't work at all!

WORST browser I've ever used.. the UI is absolutely shocking poor, the bookmarks do not sync between devices, the user log in details do not synce between devices, can't organise book marks on android device, can't organise short cuts into any order.. WOW has vpn built in but doesn't work with my EXPENSIVE avastone subscription and wants another £50 a year for it to function when the app is an absolute joke to use.
