Title: New browser version 89.0
Post by: Jana Ernekerová on March 10, 2021, 05:53:50 PM

Hello everyone,

We’re pleased to announce that we have released a new beta version of Avast Secure Browser (ASB) for Windows - version  89.0.

Changes

• Many accessibility improvements: it’s incredibly important to ensure that our browser can be used by everyone and anyone. 
• NEW Made it easier to find the setting to turn on the full URL option. It can be found in the settings menu, before it was more hidden and required you to right click the omnibox.
  
• NEW Extensions are now easily accessible in the main 3-dots menu on the top right side of the browser - before extensions were only accessible under the “More Tools”.
  

Fixes

• Improved the overall stability of the Browser
• Improved speed and stability of Avast Sync
• Other Chromium 89 fixes
• Minor design improvements and fixes
• Fix of displaying the Browser after PC restart
• Fix of playing video on Facebook feed
