Hello all
We have released a new beta version of Avast Secure Browser - 75.1.1520.101 / 75.1.1520.100. It contains two new features that make the browser even better and faster than before.
We need your help! It would be great if you can try the new version and provide your feedback. Also if you find any problems, please let us know. Thanks.
-------------------------------
This version includes a new performance optimization feature, called Performance Manager, which reduces RAM and CPU usage and extends battery life. Also we have added Hack Check notifications.
Performance Manager - Optimizes CPU & RAM and extends battery life:
This feature will benefit browser users who regularly have multiple tabs open, particularly those using machines with limited memory or laptop users, for whom it will help conserve battery.
Automatically suspending tabs reduces memory consumption and leads to longer battery life, which could translate to better performance of the user's computer.
Hack Check - Be alerted if your data has been compromised:
The Hack Check feature has been improved with new warning pop-ups. These pop-ups are shown when we detect that your login data might be compromised (most likely stolen). In this case Hack Check recommends changing your password immediately. It also prompts a user when we detect that the user’s password is weak and offers a password generator for creating a new one.

Other changes and fixes:
- Fixed potential issue with H.264 video decoding
- New doodle on the New Tab Page
- Fixed manually added search engine disappearing after relaunch
-------------------------------
Existing beta channel users will be updated automatically asap.
For clean install, please download installation package here:

No worries.
This morning I booted up and Avast Secure Browser (beta) updated automatically. Maybe I tried a manual update to early after your original announcement.
All's good now, thanks. :)

Strange, the version# matches but I can't find this Performance manager. :o

Can not find the Performance Manager here either, however am a bit confused as to whether the version should show .101/101 0r .101 ???
-
Mine shows .101
-
Mine shows .101
Mine also, hence my confusion as that's not what's showing in Ondrejz's post.
It's showing .101/101 as you can see :-\
-
Click the settings-> Advanced-> Performance Manager.I have 2 options on the PC, I believe the others are visible for notebooks, netbooks etc.
My version here is 75.1.1528.101.

Hi Jefferson Sant
Yes but what version does your Browser show. Sorry I see it now.
As you can see from my Screenshot with version 75.1.1528.101 mine is showing very different from your screenshot.
-
I put the version 75.1.1520.101 previous post.it was a mistake is actually 75.1.1528.101.

Yes I saw that however, My Options layout under 'Advanced' is not the same as your screenshot and I don't have a 'Performance Manager' Option, neither does Bob; while we all apparently have the same version.

If you type in the search field the "Performance manager" option does not appear in the settings as in the image below.

"No Search Results Found"
Well no worries. It will show up eventually :P

Strange. As it shows up for Jefferson and me, it might be language related. Just guessing...

Hey guys, I saw your discussion and realized that not all of you have the right beta campaign installed. You are using beta channel and get new versions but sometimes we add new extensions and these are not distributed to all users.
Performance management is displayed only when a new extension is installed. If you want to have all the latest beta features, please make sure you have campaign (cid) "9998". You can find the number in Diagnostic information on About page.
Some of you might install beta with Anti-Virus beta and got different campaign.
To get the right campaign, please backup your bookmarks, uninstall browser, cleanup Browser registry keys under Avast Software (in HKLM and HKCU), install browser again using the link in the first post.
Regarding to version 101/100.. The version is either 75.1.1528.100 or 75.1.1528.101. There is no difference in functionality. Only browser icon looks different.
Thank you for your interest in Secure Browser
Speak to you later.

I have sumo lite installed and there was a update 75.1.1528.101.Checked about but no update.
Downloaded installer from https://www.avast.com/en-au/secure-browser (https://www.avast.com/en-au/secure-browser)
Installed over the top now have version 75.1.1528.101 installed
Is this beta or final release.
-
So it looks like I'm not on the "right" beta and to get there, I not only need to use the removal tool
but also have to dig into the registry.
Think I'm going back to the regular full release and leave the beta testing to someone else.
I'll just wait till the features come to the regular stable version. Thanks
-
Well I'm not going to go through all that. I have the regular Browser beta installed on Machine with Premier beta.
It seems to me that this addition (Performance Manager) should be made to update (via developers)through the beta channel regardless of campaign or beta.
Thanks anyway :)
-
We decided to add new extensions to all campaigns from now. All beta users should get it in the next 24 hours.
This problem should not happen again. Sorry for inconvenience.
-
Thanks Ondrejz, greatly appreciated. :)

Hey fvmb, could you please provide us with the diagnostic information (Settings icon at the top-right > Help and About Avast Secure Browser > About Avast Secure Browser > Diagnostic Information) so we can understand the scope of the issue as I was able to reproduce this on my machine. Also do you have Avast Passwords enabled?

fvmb,
do you have Avast Passwords enabled? if so, then this is known problem (actually wanted behavior) and is going to be solved somehow. We have to avoid multiple popups after login to website.

Yes i have Avast password enabled. So if is a Known bahaviour i need to disable avast password in order to enable hack check right? i tried and off course it worked as you said.
So i guess i will wait until avast release some kind of fix instead of this workaround, beacuse i need avast passwords enabled :)

What happened to the Video Downloader ???
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1563887092780-7165.png)
It doesn't appear in the upper right hand corner.
I see it on select videos once you open a video here:
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1563887428152-38591.png)
On many videos it doesn't appear at all making it pretty useless. Sorry.
It's very hard to keep up with the changes. Features seem to change from build to build.

Could you provide Diagnostic Info and some example videos where it doesn't work? I believe there was a known issue caused by some library changes on Youtube's end but I will double check.

What diagnostics do you need?

The version number of Video Downloader that is installed on the browser.

Will do once I get back home.

We decided to add new extensions to all campaigns from now. All beta users should get it in the next 24 hours.
This problem should not happen again. Sorry for inconvenience.
I was of the understanding that the beta I am running would be updated to include the "Performance Manager" within 24 hours.
It's been 3 days and no Performance Manager and the beta is still on CID=2108
Am I misunderstanding this information?
Please advise
