It is a stand alone application (not an integral part of the antivirus program) that should be in your regular Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall a program function.

Have you looked there ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Hi, we are sorry to hear that. The Browser is installed as part of installation of Avast if not unselected on installer screen. Its a separate product as mentioned before and you should be able to see it in your windows uninstallation utility. If not you can try to use our Secure Browser Removal tool from here https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe

Either way I suggest to at least give it a shot before uninstalling :)
