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)

2026-08-10	Je*****	I am not able to download any Google apps at all from this Avast secure browser. I have to use being as a search engine, which I don't mind. Anytime I try to use anything Google it states that my data might not be secure. I really haven't trusted Google anyhow but it would be nice to be able to use Google apps with Avast secure.

It offers built-in anti-tracking, phishing protection, HTTPS encryption, ad blocking, and privacy tools to help keep your browsing safer. It is fast, easy to use, and supports Chrome extensions. While it provides good security features, some advanced options are linked to Avast Premium services. Overall, it is a solid choice for users who want a secure and privacy-friendly browsing experience.

2026-07-21	Ja*****	I guess this is a rather useless app. It absolutely does not reveal any scam sites, it evens confidently says the site protects passwords and other user data on the short live websites (which Malwarebytes flags correctly). Even the lock feature first shows the window content before showing a lock. It is a shame, unfortunately. And clearly it's not developed anymore. How many known vulnerabilities must a year unupdated browser contain?

2026-07-19	Li*****	I purchased my Avast suite of subscriptions a year ago, have been mildly satisfied, however, investing the time to review ALL menu items & additional options ie Widgets today has gotten me excited and I will be dedicating more time to further investigating & running some dummy tests , as lots of options and functionality places to check out. My mild satisfaction for the Avast products is stepping up the ladder to "Glad I purchased from Avast" Watch This Space...
