AVG Secure Browser is a free-to-use web browser designed to help users navigate the internet safely and securely. This software from the known cybersecurity provider AVG Technologies offers additional customization options such as limiting who sees your search history and browsing activity. With an intuitive app layout, this safer alternative makes your transition smooth and easy.
AVG Secure Browser comes at a time when conventional web browsers are becoming more prone to various cybersecurity threats. Aside from managing your visibility, it also comes with a couple of quality-of-life capabilities like password management, built-in VPN, and importing settings.
Enjoy increased web surfing security
Designed for user security, AVG Secure Browser automatically protects your privacy as soon as you run the app for the first time. Hide your geographical location and surf anonymously with its built-in VPN tool. Then, this browser encrypts all your data by default—tabs, downloads, browsing history, and even your opened tabs. Lastly, the browser keeps you search agnostic so you can use the search engine you prefer without any setbacks.
By default, this browser blocks all third-party cookies. These are small files sent by websites you visit, designed to gather information about you. While cookies are intended to give you a more customized user experience, these can also be used by companies to track your activities and send you ads. With its Anti-Track capability, however, cookies and other forms of tracking are mitigated. This includes various forms of browser fingerprinting and cookieless tracking.
Other tools for a secure yet well-rounded browsing experience include its private video downloader. Grab content from the internet without leaving a trace, or play them using the browser’s own media player. Additionally, the browser supports QR code reading. Beyond protecting you digitally, the browser also has reliable physical protection by locking your session, which you can access with a PIN or a fingerprint code.
Designed for optimal user experience
Aside from protecting your user information, the AVG Secure Browser Privacy Guard also helps improve your experience. Without cookies to process and ads to interrupt, websites load faster and more efficiently. Also, the AVG-developed platform is built using Chromium, the largest open-source web browser, ensuring that users have access to the latest web technologies and support for a wide range of extensions.
It also has standard browser features to make life easier. A password manager stores all the login credentials you use to prevent typing them every single time. You can also import settings and bookmarks from other browsers to instantly customize your experience. Of course, it still gives users freedom to modify settings and make them suitable for their usage and preferences. This resolves the browser’s main catch since the default lack of saving user info prevents customized user experience—making it feel like an incognito session every single time.
Total security and complete anonymity
While most browsers have incognito modes and can be fitted with VPN tools and ad blockers, AVG Secure Browser takes all these security features to the next level. By integrating them into the design of the app, users enjoy these capabilities without compatibility issues and with greater flexibility. Aside from protecting users from various tracking methods, it also offers sufficient capabilities for improved user experience.
