SafeZone and AOS
« on: April 25, 2017, 04:48:02 PM »
Why doesn't this browser have the Avast Online Security Extension?

My guess, for the very reason that it doesn't allow other add-ons, because they are coming from outside of the safezone browser. Its whole point is its isolation from the normal system desktop.

@Asyn,

Thank you for posting the link.

I can't see it and also Ad Blocker is greyed out.

Maybe I should do a repair?

What I suggest is, if you're not using safezone for shopping or banking, go ahead and put as many extensions on it as you wish.

I feel safezone is to be used solely for money transactions (bank mode only) so no extensions ever.

You can use the normal browser mode for anything. But it is true that we do not allow any 3rd party extensions for now. We plan to change it later this year.

AOS is not in SafeZone.. There is just a lightweight AOS which detects phishing and malware sites.
