![]() Using browser’s developer tools you can look at an extension’s network traffic. Storing the data is considered unproblematic due to anonymization (I disagree), and Avast doesn’t make any statements explaining just how long it holds on to it. The amount of data being sent goes far beyond what’s necessary for the extension to function, especially if you compare to competing solutions such as Google Safe Browsing.Īvast Privacy Policy covers this functionality and claims that it is necessary to provide the service. In the process, it will transmit data that allows reconstructing your entire web browsing history and much of your browsing behavior. When Avast Online Security extension is active, it will request information about your visited websites from an Avast server. Isn’t this necessary for the extension to do its job?.
