We\u2019ve seen new computers, modems, routers, games, apps and so much more to make our lives more convenient and pleasurable. You can even watch the top shows and movies from the comfort of your home now, and remote working is a global phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that there are hackers and companies that want your information. They\u2019ll use it to break into your online bank account, see which products to advertise during videos, or infect your devices with malware. If you want to continue safely using your PC, you need browser security to <strong>protect your data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Phishing-EN.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unlocking the full potential of the internet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, we have VPNs that let us <strong>anonymously browse the internet<\/strong> without anyone tracking the I.P. address. No one can see what you\u2019re watching, and you won\u2019t have third parties studying your online behavior to market products on social media. The best part is that you can view content from other countries thanks to tools that circumvent geo-restrictions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are so <strong>many VPN solutions<\/strong> on the market, though? What sets Avast Secure Browser apart from competitors like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Avast Secure Browser PRO\u2019s VPN stands apart from the rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, it isn\u2019t necessary to access a VPN for your entire computer. It may mess with some of your apps, such as Steam, Phoenix Miner, or Xbox Games Pass. This issue has been a problem for anyone that has a VPN installed that covers the whole device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avast Secure Browser PRO comes to the fore with a solution by<a href=\"https:\/\/press.avast.com\/avast-launches-new-premium-browser-for-pcs-with-a-built-in-virtual-private-network\"> adding its <strong>VPN to the browser<\/strong> last year<\/a>. If you look to the left of the address bar in the free version, you\u2019ll see a built-in VPN icon with a line through it. By upgrading to the PRO version, you\u2019ll immediately unlock the full power of the internet while safely browsing sites you love. The best part is that it won\u2019t affect any of your other apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That also means you can enter your online banking account without someone spying on you and stealing your login information. With top speeds, you\u2019ll jump onto a server in a specific country to <strong>watch movies in that region<\/strong>. For example, you can watch U.S. shows while relaxing on your sofa in France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This solution is based on the <strong>Mimic VPN engine developed by Avast<\/strong>. There are two types of security protocols that use this engine. One activates for your entire computer, while the other focuses solely on your browser. Avast Secure Browser PRO uses the latter, which is why you\u2019ll have an extremely fast and steady connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Avast Secure Browser PRO VPN\" class=\"wp-image-193576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Secure-Browser-PRO-VPN-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other top security features you\u2019ll enjoy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides military-grade protection, you won\u2019t need to worry about <strong>annoying adverts<\/strong> while enjoying your favorite shows or visiting sites. Avast Secure Browser PRO blocks them completely, so you\u2019ll start seeing messages asking you to disable your adblocker. That\u2019s ok; you don\u2019t have to. You can continue reading the site while skipping the default ad plug-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also <strong>unlimited bandwidth<\/strong>, so you can stream as many shows as you want or download all the top games without stressing about a cap. Simply enjoy fast internet speeds with safe browsing with absolutely no logging of activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Ad-Block.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Ad-Block.png 803w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Ad-Block-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Ad-Block-768x541.png 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Ad-Block-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/Avast-Browser-Ad-Block-150x106.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avast Secure Browser PRO: An award-winning solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re not the only ones that feel Avast Secure Browser PRO is an exceptional browser with impressive performance and quality protection.
