Hello Avast community,
We’re pleased to announce that we have released a new beta version of Avast Secure Browser (ASB) for Windows - version 102.1 with our brand new privacy feature, Privacy Guard, a solution that protects you from invasive ads, trackers, device fingerprinting and more.
A few of you will have the feature available in the browser. We are thoroughly testing it and making sure it's exactly what you want and need before we make it available to all of you.
So all feedback (https://support.avast.com/) is welcomed and expected :)
Why better than ever
- Faster than ever privacy shields that help you optimize your browsing experience and set your own rules when you are online.
- With just one-click-of-a-mouse you can now block the ads you want, trackers, and even device fingerprinting to block even the expert tracking tech out there.
- Want even more? Check out our more premium offer and see if it makes sense to you. Go PRO now! (https://platform.avast.com/pro)
How to find it
Privacy Guard, just block anything you want when you want. Look for the icon on the top right corner of your toolbar, where all your extension icons are.
Or look for our brand new tile in your Security and Privacy Center
Privacy Guard
Enhanced privacy protection
Block ads, trackers & more
Safeguard your online identity
Privacy Guard allows you to have the best experience when you browse the web. With faster loading times, less cluttered views and peace of mind. Control the level of privacy you want, from basic ads & trackers protection to a more advanced free-browsing experience.
Watch out for upcoming Avast Secure Browser blog posts (https://blog.avast.com/en/secure-browser/) about new features.

We hope you enjoy the changes we have made, and as always we would love to hear your feedback. Please try our Browser also on your other devices.

Hi,
I've got version 102.1.17190.115 (Officiële build) (64-bits) but don't see the Privacy Guard on the toolbar and as a tile in the Security and Privacy Center.
Could you show us a screenshot?
and also no Privacy Guard visible in version 103 :-[

Hi Ruslan S,
You requested feedback on on V102/3 ASB Privacy Guard. (I've put my diagnostic info at the end.)
Privacy Guard main menu dropdown
1.1 cannot activate settings (the gear icon) or progress to the the Security and Privacy Centre using the arrow. The cursor is active and changes on hover but the command fails to execute.
Privacy Guard Settings page
1 The radio button to switch form Basic to Balanced fails to execute.
2. The radio button to switch to Strict mounts a new window in which the Set Strict command button
and cursor are active but fail to execute.
3 Always allow ads on the following sites Add mounts a new window for the url to whitelist, but the Save command fails to execute.
Many thanks for your attention to the above.
