Avast Launches New Premium Browser for PCs With a Built-in
Virtual Private Network
-- An integrated VPN with No Logging
-- Advanced Adblock that blocks ads and trackers by default
Emeryville, California, United States, October 26, 2021 - Avast
(LSE:AVST), a global leader in digital security and privacy, has
launched a premium version of its free secure and private browser.
Avast Secure Browser PRO*, a Chromium-based browser for Windows
PCs, includes an integrated Virtual Private Network (VPN) and
advanced Adblock technology for people who need a lightweight but
comprehensive suite of security, privacy and performance services
to tackle today's most pressing web-based threats. The built-in
VPN, which provides access to 30 locations worldwide covering every
continent except Antarctica, helps to ensure the highest levels of
privacy protection by encrypting all inbound and outbound
connections.
Avast Secure Browser PRO for Windows provides people with
seamless, high-performing digital protection, no matter their level
of technical confidence, and ensures that privacy choice is
available to everyone when browsing the web. In 2020, Avast added
built-in VPNs to the premium version of its mobile browser for
Android and iOS; now including them also in the premium version of
Avast Secure Browser on PC signals the next step in Avast's mission
to deliver a safer, more private and faster browsing experience
across devices and operating systems, and aligns with the broader
company goal to enable personal control of privacy for all.
"The browser is the modern day operating system, and with
browser-based web threats one of the most common avenues of attack,
we have a responsibility to protect our customers online by keeping
their internet connections secure and private," said Fiona Cliffe,
Director of Browser Product at Avast. "We've built our browser
around a Security & Privacy Center to provide this in a way
that is frictionless for the user and based on the belief that in
order to preserve people's digital freedom, security and privacy
needs to be simplified and demystified."
Avast has also added accompanying privacy and compatibility
features in Avast Secure Browser PRO alongside its existing
Anti-Phishing technology, Anti-Tracking, Bank Mode and Password
Manager services. These include:
-- Advanced Adblock: set with 'Strict Mode' as the default
option so that ads and trackers are blocked automatically. Other
options include 'Essential Mode' and 'Balanced Mode' (recommended),
which block all ads that violate the Acceptable Ads Standard,
including pop-ups and auto-playing videos. Balanced Mode also
blocks other non-intrusive ads to improve the speed and safety of
browsing sessions.
-- Built-in VPN: no buffering, no throttling and no encrypted
bandwidth limits for a smoother, faster, unrestricted online
experience.
-- Connection for up to five devices: on both mobile and desktop.
Avast Secure Browser PRO is compatible with Windows 10, iOS and
Android, with support for Mac coming soon. The subscription service
has three tiers and includes a seven-day free trial. The monthly
subscription is priced at GBP4.99 per month; the year-long
subscription at GBP2.92 per month; and the two-year offering at
GBP2.08 per month. Avast Secure Browser PRO is available to
download at www.avast.com/secure-browser .
*In order to activate Avast Secure Browser PRO, users have to
install the free version of the browser available at
https://avast.com/secure-browser , and follow the upgrade steps.
Users can choose between immediate upgrade to the PRO feature set
(payment required) or take advantage of the seven-day trial (no
payment details required).
