GIVE US A DARK THEME LIKE WE ALL WANT!
« on: September 09, 2019, 01:45:52 PM »
Why won't you listen to your customer base? We have been asking for a blasted dark/night theme for years now. You implemented it for a beta then removed it, seriously how hard is it to add an option to change colour like in stealth mode?

It's either i boycott the browser for chrome or constantly run it in stealth mode.

Avast Secure Browser hasn't been here for years, the old Avast Browser that had a couple of different underlying browser code, chromium and opera for a while I believe.

You have to decide what you want in your browser, aesthetics or security.

Hello Simon234,

Thanks for reaching us. As guys here correctly stated we focus mainly on security and privacy features, but we also take in mind comfort of our users.

I am not sure about which theme you are talking. I think you are talking about windows dark mode. I will rather answer you for both options that i know about.

1) Windows 10 dark mode for applications. This functionality will be included in Avast Secure Browser soon. We had a bug that caused this feature to stop working, but we already fixed it and it will be part of the next v 77.0 release.

2) Themes from Chrome store. We plan to support themes but it’s not an immediate priority.

STILL NO DARK MODE?!?!?

I ONLY use browsers that have a dark mode which is all of them these days.

A great browser otherwise, I just can't use it cause I will go blind!

Hello,
Avast Secure Browser has the Dark Mode.
It's enabled by default when Windows uses dark mode theme.
Also, this option will be added to the settings page in the future release.

You can enable dark mode by the following instruction from this post
