I can't run Opera browser inside the Avast Sandbox
« on: December 30, 2015, 04:16:50 AM »
Hi guys :)

The topic title tells it all : I can't run Opera 34.0.2036.25 inside the Avast 2016.11.1.2245 Sandbox.
In fact Opera opens, but keeps on loading and is not usable.

Opera runs perfectly well outside the Avast Sandbox, or even inside Sandboxie that I am using too.

Questions :
- Can someone test/confirm this problem ?
- Could it have something to do with the Avast 2016 SafeZone browser, that is also Opera based ?

Opera has runned perfectly well inside the Avast 2015 Sandbox, but I have never tested it before with Avast 2016.
And I have no problems with running Firefox inside the Avast 2016 Sandbox.

Greetz, Red.

Isn't there something different avast 2016 in that the Safe Zone is no more ?

I though that in the latest 2016 version it was replaced by a new SafeZone browser that is all combined. Also I thought that avast were moving to an Opera based version for the SafeZone browser ???

David,

SafeZone and Sandbox are two different things.

David,

SafeZone and Sandbox are two different things.

OK - but I thought that things were getting amalgamated.
