Review summary

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.

Pros

Ad blocking capability
Malware protection / security
Regular updates and security checks
Ease of use when functioning
Built-in VPN availability

Cons

Stability and reliability issues (crashes, glitches, reloads)
VPN performance and control issues (slow speeds, cannot turn off)
Sign-in/account management problems (password manager inaccessible, signed out)
Installation/setup difficulties (hard to install)
Subscription management issues (can't unsubscribe, refunds)

2026-07-05	Ke*****	a year ago I bought the Ultimate Multi-Device.. 6 months ago I had to reinstall the app ..and it would only D/L Avast one . I'm a little bummed that it didn't see my router getting hacked.

2026-06-23	Je*****	probably one of the WORST browsers I've ever laid my hands on whether you pay for it or get it free it's like an old rusted car. there's ALWAYS going to be a random issue that ruins the whole thing using this browser makes me want to go to a library and just do my own research instead it's genuinely the most buggiest thing ever and the customer service is probably the worst I've seen yet and that's saying a lot if you're considering using this browser I STRONGLY suggest you don't. 0/10

2026-06-03	be*****	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.
