According to Avira, there are many 3rd party web browsers available on Internet such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera but we need to install extra plug-ins and extensions to add security features in them. Avira’s web browser will come with many essential and required security features built-in.

It’ll try to secure your web browsing experience in 3 ways:

  • Client (your PC and web browser): By detecting attacks and blocking them
  • Internet infrastructure (such as Wi-Fi): Fixing by end-to-end encryption
  • Server (malicious websites): By identifying and blocking them

Since Avira already has a huge database of known security threats and malicious websites, it’ll help their web browser in identifying such dangerous places on Internet quickly and easily.

Avira will also implement an Auto-Pilot feature in the web browser which will be based on the security decisions taken by their backend database and experienced experts team. It’ll help users in automating the repetitive security tasks as well as keeping them safe and secure on web.

Avira web browser is based on Chromium which is also used by popular web browsers Google Chrome and Opera. So you’ll be able to use almost all popular extensions and add-ons which you use in Chrome or Opera.

Avira web browser can be installed in Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.

  1. You could also mention about the most secure email provider, it’s in beta state at the moment and desperately needs more users.

  2. Signed up for the beta on same day as this article. Was never sent an approval but am receiving survey requests. Hmmm…..

  3. I got selected but I’m very disappointed, no x64 version and x86 version didn’t even start on Windows 7. Just a white screen nothing else, I’m off. This kind of a error message doesn’t make me to try it more than 1 time. Goodbye Avira.
