This Chromium-based browser doesn't look too different from a basic Google Chrome installation, but it does include a few tools and plug-ins exclusively from AVAST that can help improve privacy while browsing the web.
The browser implements a few different features for different tasks including banking mode, built-in ad blocking, a video downloader and some anti-phishing and anti-tracking tools. It's also a default setting inside of the program to disguise the browser user-agent to prevent targeted attacks.
A stealth mode included also helps security by performing HTTPS encryption checks so that the security between you and the web site is guaranteed. Avast Secure Browser also has a password manager and support for VPN connections.
All in all, Avast Secure Browser is another Chromium-based browser that's been tweaked by the antivirus creator with a bit more focus on security and privacy.
