Webroot SecureWeb Browser 3.7.0.7170

A feature-rich web browser that helps protect your device while surfing online
Smartphones ensure that people can go online at any given time, but that also comes with some risks. The internet is filled with all sort of websites that contain malicious files, but there are applications that can help protect your device from them.

One of such applications is SecureWeb Browser. It's a browser that keeps your phone secure from malware and warns you about sites that may contain viruses. It has a neat UI with lots of features at hand.

Lightweight interface with many features

SecureWeb Browser doesn't launch with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, but you wouldn't really need them since the UI is quite intuitive. It launches directly with the home page, allowing users to navigate online using multiple tabs, which open at the top of the screen.

It doesn't use material design, you'll find multiple options under the overflow icon on the right side of the screen. It does have a help section which opens in the browser and it's filled with all sort of tips that could benefit users. The app lets you browse the internet safely, by blocking sites with malicious content.

Browse the internet safely

The app has all the features that any browser would have, it lets you bookmark pages so you can access them easier, find words on page and zoom text so you could read it faster. You can also access the password manager and save your most sensitive information there.

This section is protected by a password and username. Because it focuses mainly on security, the app doesn't come with any customization features for the UI, it doesn't have themes not even a night mode. It also lacks incognito browsing, meaning that it will record cache and the history of your web searches at any time.

More features

Still, it has some settings that you can change. You can pick from only three search engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing. Safe search can be activated but it doesn't seem to work on Android, it doesn't display any messages in search results.

You can set a start page but there's no option of making several shortcuts on your home page. The app lets you clear cache, history and reset the app to its initial state.

The history manager is under bookmarks, it's quite easy to miss especially for new users. You can change the browser user agent string, choose from Android Mobile, Tablet, iPhone, iPad or Desktop PC. All in all, the app is lightweight but it surely needs more features.
