Up until now,
Avira has focused all their efforts on traditional
antivirus software that’s intended to contain a security breach after the event. Now, the company is working on expanding their presence (although the company can be considered as one of the biggest online security firms in the world) with a novel approach to stay safe on the web. The Avira Browser will protect users when they’re surfing the web and hopefully prevent problems before they pop up.
Avira’s browser will check sites against their comprehensive database, ensure connections are secure, and keep an eye out for unwanted scripts running in the background according to a report from
Liliputing. The browser is an open source project based on Google’s Chromium and will basically take care of itself. However, advanced users will be able to play with settings, install browser extensions, and more. It runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. You can sign up to beta test the browser by joining the
Avira Beta Community.
