Hello everyone,
We’re pleased to announce that we have released a new version of Avast Secure Browser (ASB) for Mac - version 90.0.
Changes
- NTP Speed - Significantly increased the new tab load speed with some clever static resource management
- FLoC disabled - we will be releasing some more info on our decision behind this soon
- HTTPS Encryption - Chromium v90.0 introduces a new way of handling HTTPS requests (https://blog.chromium.org/2021/03/a-safer-default-for-navigation-https.html). We have incorporated this approach and plan to replace our existing mechanism via HTTPS Everywhere extension, this will reduce our resource footprint.

- Fixed some minor Dark Mode Security and Privacy Center issues
