I simply clarified the fact that Avast AV isn't a requirement for the browser.
Totally agree with you on fixing the bugs. I don't like them any more than you do.
I probably do more complaints about the bugs than you do but my complaints are quite often
directly to the developers. Some of the bugs have been unpatched for a lot longer than they should have been.
Don't mind me, I'm frustrated. The bugs in Avast Secure Browser are piling up, been living with many of them for a very long time because they were just annoying but not critical to my overall browsing enjoyment. Then broken Adblock (GRRRR!) and now no more Video Downloader (AAARRRGGGHHH!) started, just reached my Full Mark. LOL
The reason I pay for Avast Premium is simple, I wanted to support Avast so they could keep offering us good products. If the Avast (Anti-virus and Browser) development teams are actually doing it for free out of the generosity of their sweet little pea-pickin' hearts, KUDOS to them, but even if employees are working for no pay, there still must be monetary support for other things like keeping the lights on.
Thing is, when I 1st started using Avast Secure Browser it worked almost seamlessly (except for Translate, it never has worked), but with every successive update something else breaks that wasn't broken before. Wrong direction! Perhaps they could review their previous code from a couple of years ago and trace the changes up to present. I realize it may not be possible to use old code, since many changes were in response to changes made by outside entities like Y.ouT.ube.
Avast Secure Browser does carry the Avast name, therefore it is a public representative of Avast, reflecting on the entire range of Avast products, whether it should or not, perception is everything. At this point, Avast Secure Browser is reflecting poorly on Avast's public face, everyone in whatever branch of Avast should care about that, if they want to remain a viable company.
