Where things get more interesting is that it includes an integrated VPN that could potentially save you the need from subscribing to one of the best VPN (opens in new tab) services already out there. The built-in VPN offers access to 30 locations worldwide so it’s not as comprehensive as a dedicated VPN but it does cover every continent except for Antarctica. And, of course, it encrypts all inbound and outbound connections as you would expect from a VPN. Avast also promises that there will be no buffering, throttling or encrypted bandwidth limits through the service.

Alongside that, Avast Secure Browser Pro also uses advanced Adblock technology to keep pesky adverts at bay while you’re browsing. Advanced Adblock is set to Strict Mode as the default option so that all ads and trackers are blocked automatically. It’s possible to tweak things to Essential Mode or Balanced Mode which blocks 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 of your browsing experience.
