If you’re a Chrome, Firefox or Edge user most likely do not give much thought to alternative browsers. However, if you’re looking to find one that places a strong emphasis on privacy and security, Avast Secure Browser is a worthy taking a glance. The Chromium browser has a click-reference VPN and ad blocker among other features.

You can modify the settings of the ad blocker and enable strict blocking mode in order to block even the most persistent ads. It also can be used with www.connectsecure.info/how-to-stay-safe-online/ the uBlock Origin plugin, which provides third-party filter lists and dynamic filters for better control. Its phishing defense helps keep you safe from scammy websites while its banking mode helps keep your passwords, credit card details and other sensitive data from the prying eyes of others.

Tab grouping is another feature that makes it easier to navigate through multiple tabs by organizing them.

If you’re already familiar with Google Chrome, you’ll feel at home in Avast’s browser since it looks similar to Google Chrome. It lets you import all of your bookmarks, settings for configuration and other features you may want to use.

However, it’s a good browser with lots of extra security and privacy features that can be an alternative to the big three.
