Martin JørgensenToday, your online security is arguably the most important factor in the modern world. Your data and the digital footprint you leave when you browse the internet must never fall into the wrong hands. That’s why it’s important to use a browser that takes your safety seriously.
With 1, you get a lightning-fast browser plus a host of features developed by AVG to protect this browser against malicious viruses and other threats. You get anti-phishing, anti-tracking, HTTPS encryption, a webcam guard, and much more. These features protect different aspects of your online activity, and many of them aren’t included in other browsers.
Built-in ad blocker
Another feature that comes standard in AVG Secure Browser is the ad blocker. In other browsers, you have to download and install extensions from third-party developers to block ads. In AVG Secure Browser, it happens automatically with the built-in ad blocker developed by AVG, which works flawlessly.
The ad blocker automatically detects ads and blocks them instantly. That means you don’t need third-party downloads, and you get an ad blocker tailored to the browser you use, developed by AVG’s security experts. With an ad blocker installed, your browser can be up to four times faster than if your internet connection also had to load ads.
AVG Secure Browser compared with traditional browsers
As mentioned, the automatic ad blocker isn’t the only feature that’s missing in traditional browsers but integrated by AVG in theirs.
Above you can see other advantages that don’t exist in classic browsers such as Google Chrome, 1, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. You get the aforementioned features like anti-phishing, anti-tracking, and HTTPS encryption, and your browser also works perfectly with AVG’s antivirus suite and their secure AVG VPN. This lets you integrate all your PC’s security components for optimal protection.
AVG Antivirus
The browser is designed to work optimally on your computer if you also have AVG’s antivirus installed. With the free edition of AVG Antivirus you can stop viruses, spyware, ransomware, and many other types of malware. Unsafe links, downloads, and emails are also blocked, so you’re fully protected. A virus scanner is of course included to scan your computer for anything that harms its performance.
AVG VPN
The second component Secure Browser is built to work closely with is AVG VPN. It ensures you never connect to an unsafe Wi‑Fi network, no matter where you are. Your activity on the internet also stays private, and you can set your IP location to, for example, the USA. That way you can access the US Netflix library and enjoy far more movies and series than you can at home.
Ease of use and interface
Secure Browser is developed by the renowned security company AVG, which is why you get a truly top-tier product. All features in the browser are easy to access, so users can find and use them quickly. The browser also installs itself in Danish automatically. That means you don’t need a dictionary to translate difficult English terms. You can find help for all menus and features by clicking in the upper-right corner, as you know from other classic browsers. The interface is modern and simple, much like Chrome.
Inspired by Chrome
Google’s Chrome appears to have been a major source of inspiration for AVG and their Secure Browser. Besides the logos looking remarkably similar, the entire interface is heavily inspired by Google’s browser.
This means you’ll get a very familiar experience when you download and use AVG Secure Browser. You won’t need time to adjust, as it looks almost identical to Chrome. It’s essentially like using an enhanced version of Chrome with stronger security.
Built by experts
AVG Technologies has developed security software for computers since 1991. Their antivirus program is among the most popular and respected on the market. Figures from 2015 show that over 200 million users rely on AVG’s products to secure their computers against threats. The company started by developing security software for PC, but has since begun developing for both Android and Mac. That way the whole family can be protected by the same products, even if you have different operating systems at home.
Updates
Like AVG’s other products, Secure Browser is updated regularly. This keeps the browser up to date with the latest technology that protects you around the clock on the internet. Updates arrive automatically, so you don’t have to look for them yourself.
Availability
Although AVG Secure Browser appears to be inspired by Google Chrome, one area where it can’t quite keep up with Google’s browser is availability. AVG Secure Browser is only available on Windows operating systems. You therefore can’t download it for your Mac, unlike Google Chrome. AVG Secure Browser can be used on computers running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, or 7.
Alternatives
If you’re looking for a new browser, take a look at our full list of browsers here. There you’ll find the very popular Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, both available for Windows and Mac. You’ll also find other popular browsers such as the Norwegian‑developed Opera and Apple’s Safari for Windows.
For some, AVG Secure Browser is the perfect browser
AVG Secure Browser is the perfect choice if you want a reliable and fully secure browser. Developed by the security company AVG, it’s a truly top-class product. The browser is fast and can keep up with the biggest names like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Security is, of course, the main focus at AVG. It protects you against phishing, tracking, and hacking, and it also includes an integrated ad blocker that can make your web browsing up to four times faster than browsers without an ad blocker. The browser integrates perfectly with AVG’s antivirus and their VPN, which you can read more about and find download links for higher up on this page. Combine these three elements for the safest way to browse the internet. It’s also designed to look very much like Google Chrome, both in appearance and functionality. If you switch from Chrome to AVG Secure Browser, you should quickly feel at home with the various menus and features. The browser is completely free to download and installs in no time. It also installs automatically in Danish, so you don’t have to worry about English terms and the like.
