Version 79.0.3062.80 (Official Build)

That actually makes sense to me.

Hi Bob, maybe for the average user, but I'm on ASB beta-channel and it didn't work here either. Cheers
Let's see if this changes after today's announcement: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=226524.0

I'm still seeing:
"Avast Secure Browser is up to date
Version 72.0.1174.122 (Official Build) (32-bit)"

Guess I will wait a bit for an automatic update, before I force it.

Hi guys, beta channel working from now: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=226524.0

Verify that you are actually using browser beta on about page. Thanks

Thanks Ondrej, good to know.

+1    Lets see.

Should this topic now be labelled 73.0.1258.87 (Beta) ?
At present people will be misled to think 73.0.1258.87 is latest stable version of ASB from just looking at the topic header, then complain that auto update does not work without reading the whole thread.
Just a thought.

I am confused (easily done )

Going by sumo updater the latest version is 73.0.1270.87.

I downloaded installer from avast secure home page https://www.avast.com/en-au/secure-browser

I installed and now have 73 .0.1270.87 and I have nothing of this being a beta.

Edit:  I had version 73.0.1258 .87 installed before I updated. (that also did not say it was a beta version)

That's because you aren't using the beta version. If you want the beta version you need to follow these instructions:

OK. I am confused as to why I am stuck on "72.0.1174.122 (Official Build) (32-bit), which is still indicated as the "up to date" version.
If not in Beta, surely v73 should by now be offered for normal in browser automatic update?

The in browser update function does not work as efficently as some would like.
Use the link provided and download/install the latest stable version

[rocksteady]

OK. I have now manually downloaded and installed Avast Secure Browser Version 73.0.1270.87 (Official Build) (32-bit) over the top of Version 72.
I assume Avast plan to fix the in-browser automatic update mechanism same as other browsers, so that ASB is always kept properly up-to-date and secure according to its name.

[schmidthouse]

Yes. 

[bob3160]

Yes. 

But not as quickly as the updates on the Beta channel.
