Shame on Avast! for refusing to acknowledge Pale Moon as a valid browser!!!!!!!!!
Not customer friendly at all. Your only mission is to promote Google browser because you probably get $$$ from them. Wait until Firefox will loose even more customers in the future.... will you then kick your Firefox customers also to the curb?
I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Avast and am sure that many Pale Moon customers feel the same way!
First I'm an avast user who has been using avast for eleven and a half years (not an avast employee).
It has nothing to do with Avast! refusing to acknowledge Pale Moon as a valid browser, it is about its small userbase and it being 64bit. Originally avast only supported the three main browsers of the day Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer and if I recall correctly Mozilla Browser (pre-dates firefox by many years). No chrome back then.
Avast has continued to expand the supported browsers, but it hasn't added them all at once and the programming effort has been applied on a market share/user base order of priority. But for the most part avast is set up
to try and support all 32bit browsers html protocol, that you can see in the default settings (attached image).
Some browsers using html however, aren't able to work so have to be restriced to avast only scanning well known browsers.
As far as I'm aware avast are working on firefox 64bit which has recently been slated for release - so that in itself should be good news for Pale Moon, a 64bit browser based on firefox, yes/no, I just don't know.
