We’re pleased to announce that we have released a new version of Avast Secure Browser (ASB) for Windows - version 87.1.
Changes
(NEW) Improvements of Avast Sync
Several improvements to notifications for all the extensions
Made displaying of page hints in omnibox consistent
Fixes
Improved overall stability of the browser
Improved compatibility for importing data from your previous browser
Improved stability and speed of Avast Sync
Improved consistency of displaying bookmarks
If you have ASB already installed, it should be updated automatically (feel free to visit ‘secure://settings/help’ to trigger an update faster), in case you are installing it from our website, you might get an older version first and be updated to the latest one in a few days. We are working on a fix of new installs intensively. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
We hope you enjoy the changes we have made, and as always we would love to hear your feedback. Please try our Browser also on your other devices. Next to Windows version, it is available on iOS, Android and MacOS platform and with new Avast sync, you can synchronize the settings on all of them. You can download the MacOS version here, more information for iOS see here (English locales only), and for Android here or go straight to the App Store or Google Play Store.
Seems for whatever reason, I am trying to log onto my account at Macys.com or Kohls.com and its giving me a technical error with the new browser update version 87.1
I was able to log on a couple days ago under the previous version, but now it keeps telling me a technical error. I can sign on fine when I go on a regular chrome browser, but I would prefer using the Secure Browser.
Avast isnt giving the error message, its the actual website of the store I am trying to log into. It says A Technical Error Has occurred. Please call…" and gives me a number to call. I noticed this happens with the newest version of Avast Secure Browser though. The old version 86 allowed me to log on fine. The minute I updated to Version 87.1.7587.142 (Official Build) (64-bit), now there is a technical error on the website not allowing me to log on.
But as I said, I can log on fine when I go through the regular Chrome browser outside of Secure Browser? So I am confused why there is a problem on the Avast Secure Browser preventing me from logging on.
I had to do a full unistall of the secure browser with the uninstall tool, then reinstalled it and I got version Version 86.1.6938.199 (Official Build) (64-bit), and that allows me to log onto the website. But I know that will just update again to version 87.1.7587.142 (Official Build) (64-bit) in a couple of days and I wont be able to log on again. I hope Version 88 wont give me these issues.
