It is basically to enhance security and privacy features thus making it a decent browser. Avast SafeZone Browser, based on Chromium browser includes add-ons like Ad Blocker, Passwords, Video Downloader, Online Security, and Safe Price. It comes by default, if you don’t select the customize option in the installer to pick the modules, the installation will begin. Im really not a fan of programs that force themselves on me, and while this is a far cry from the worst offenders, its not what I expected from a "secure browser".Technically, Avast SafeZone Browser is one of the components of Windows PC, getting added to the machine on installing any antivirus solution.
I'll keep playing with it and edit with anything new worth mentioning.Įdit: I'm not sure if it's bugs or known and approved functionality, but between the automatic start menu and taskbar pinning, and the repeated taskbar re-pinning, I decided to get rid of it. Honestly the red flag I listed in the cons set me about checking reddit to see if there was anyone else complaining about it, but the browser seems pretty solid.

Probably overreacting, but this was a big red flag for me considering how invasive big name software brands have been lately (COUGH COUGH WINDOWS 10 COUGH COUGH COUGH)ĮDIT: Google Chrome themes do not seem to work with the browser. Pins itself to your taskbar and start menu even if you tell it "No thanks, ask me later" when it runs the first time preferences menu.
Sadly did not seem to copy over my Google Chrome theme, despite importing everything elseĭev console seems to work just as well (and the exact same) as it did in Chrome, which leads me to believe this is a modification of Chrome rather than a new browser Seems to block some ads that Adblock Plus, Adblock, and Ublock Origins all seem to miss, but fails to block some ads that they all catch and block. Video downloader seems to work really well.
Imported all my bookmarks from Chrome just fine I've only been using it a short while, and its running with no extensions compared to my Chrome, but I loaded up one of my favorite sites that is more notorious for being slow and it seemed to load faster Here's what I've seen in my short time trying the browser:
