SafeZone discontinued - eta on new browser?
figueroa419:
While trying to figure out why my SafeZone no longer loaded Bank Mode or Passwords I came to the site to see why my new install no longer showed SafeZone at all. See that Avast is discontinuing it. (See here: https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB209)
Does anyone know the eta of when the newer/better browser will be available?
Also will it include a type of Bank Mode with it as well? That's the only reason I even used SafeZone, to pay bills, order online etc through Bank Mode. I also loved the fact that I could open my Excel file from within Bank Mode. I really hope that you keep that feature. It was a pain in the bum to keep getting out of Bank Mode and going back and forth to see my spreadsheet before that was implemented.

It looks like the new browser is rolling out but it has some issues as noted on this separate board posting https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=207624.0
I am sure they working out the bugs but, in the meantime I am going to see if I can backup my favorites from the Avast browser in case it takes a while to resolve.

Nope, not yet.

Well, FAQ is not totally right. SafeZone Browser was based on Opera browser (Chromium-based browser) with support from Avast (bank mode, secure DNS, ...), but Avast Software acquired Safer browser ~9 months ago and next SafeZone browser will be built on Safer (Chromium-based browser as well). Avast component will be included winthin 6 months, you will definitely not miss Avast features.

we will start shipping the new browser in October
