I Download This For My Phone And Its Perfect T0 Use T0 Browse The Web. Have Also Got The Avast Web Browser Too. I Think Avg Web Browser Is Faster Connected T0 Websites Than The Avast One.

"Absolutely Incredible This AVG Secure Browser Is I Love It Because It's Safe To Use For The Most Part Thanks For Being Here."

★★☆☆☆ davey d · Jun 12, 2026

No browser extensions tab available, and it still plays ads on YouTube with the integrated ad blocker enabled. Skip this avg browser and find one that does what it says. This is bogus!

★☆☆☆☆ DS2012 · Aug 29, 2026

I have paid for the VPN and avg the other day. I got charged twice. Then after they refunded me fit the double. Now I don't have any VPN service. Thanks, Google and AVG. Maybe I should find another service. Fix this please. I am supposed to be upgraded and have VPN service. You got until 11:00 today to fix. I pay, and you have the money.... I still get screwed! Yup typical of tech lately.

Browser doesn't even launch, stuck at the initializing phase forever (same with Avast browser too), and these two are security companies that got caught selling users data multiple times.

★☆☆☆☆ Asha Landsberg · May 21, 2026

Keeps telling me to upgrade to pro, I have pro, have had it for a while now, click on upgrade, it tells me "you already have pro", then proceeds to not work or sign me in to pro... have had to uninstall/ reinstall this browser every so often because it'll just have a major glitch & stops working... what is the point in paying for something that refuses to work?
