While trying to figure out why my SafeZone no longer loaded Bank Mode or Passwords I came to the site to see why my new install no longer showed SafeZone at all. See that Avast is discontinuing it. (See here: https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB209)
Does anyone know the eta of when the newer/better browser will be available?
Also will it include a type of Bank Mode with it as well? That's the only reason I even used SafeZone, to pay bills, order online etc through Bank Mode. I also loved the fact that I could open my Excel file from within Bank Mode. I really hope that you keep that feature. It was a pain in the bum to keep getting out of Bank Mode and going back and forth to see my spreadsheet before that was implemented.

It looks like the new browser is rolling out but it has some issues as noted on this separate board posting https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=207624.0
I am sure they working out the bugs but, in the meantime I am going to see if I can backup my favorites from the Avast browser in case it takes a while to resolve.

Nope, not yet.

Well, FAQ is not totally right. SafeZone Browser was based on Opera browser (Chromium-based browser) with support from Avast (bank mode, secure DNS, ...), but Avast Software acquired Safer browser ~9 months ago and next SafeZone browser will be built on Safer (Chromium-based browser as well). Avast component will be included winthin 6 months, you will definitely not miss Avast features.

Martin, will it still be free ??? Will it be part of the Avast install or a standalone browser.
-
it will be free and more independent on AV. but still distributed with it ;-) for some features aka Bank mode the AV is still needed.
-
Can I ask if it will include a feature to change your search engine that I (the customer) wants, rather than a select list based no doubt on some 3rd party arrangement ;D
Or am I missing something so obvious here?
I want to select DuckDuckGo :-X

Great news, as I a 3-PC licence but can only use the browser on one PC due to installing on the other PC's just after you withdrew it ::)

If you still have the installation program of Avast from the older version, why not remove Avast from the 2 systems that installed the newer version,
install the older version on those systems and then simple update the older version of Avast after it has installed SafeZone browser.

f**k I uninstall Avast Premier because I had conflicts with another program then I installed it back then no more conflicts but what the f**k no more SafeZone what am I supposed to use ? all the others browsers are crap.
-
Safezone is still there, it is the Safezone Browser that is gone.
All others are crap?
Yeah right, you have tried the 100's of other browsers.

yes I tried

Just wait a bit, new browser will be out soon. (See Reply #4.)
-
I just hope the new browser version supports extensions. I want add adblockplus and socialfixer to block all the nonsense on facebook and ads everywhere. The current adblocker on safezone really stinks. Im also tired of having to use more than one browser because of safezones lack of extension support

You could install an old version that still contains the SafeZone browser and then update that version after the install. :)

I saw somewhere that the new browser will replace Safezone on PC's that have it installed. It lost all of the extensions and I thought something had been fouled up, so I did an uninstall with the intent of re-installing. Of course, it's now gone so I can't reinstall. I can live with that, but my question is this ... with Safezone now uninstalled, will my system auto-update with the new browser when it is released? If not, how will I know about it so I can manually install it?

What year? I just re-installed to find that it's no longer included. That's the only reason I have renewed my license. When will this be provided?

See reply #22. Delivery date is totally up to Avast. Since it's still in beta, it isn't yet ready to be released.

True but not likely. :) I just want to see it completed and released regardless of the name that it ends up with.

The Avast Hero Browser FAQ (https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Hero-Browser-FAQ (https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Hero-Browser-FAQ)) implies that this new browser will only run on Windows 7 and later. Is that really the plan? :-\

http://avast_free_antivirus.en.downloadastro.com/old_versions/
I cant get any of the old versions to work. I tried clicking a bunch of versions from 2016 and I always get an error saying that the website tried redirecting me too many times. Is there another way to get the latest version that still came with safe zone?

I Have this one available that I can upload to my Google Drive:

Remember that before installing this old version, you'll need to go offline and change your settings
so that the auto update doesn't update to a new version. (Let me know.)
