Every time I open SafeZone Browser, I get a warning about detecting an old version of chrome.
Very annoying.

I can’t access anything with safeZone.

Today when I was going to do some business on the net, it’s impossible to access anything with SafeZone. The browser opens OK but when I enter the name on the site I want to access, nothing is happening. The arrow in the left corner of the screen which symbolizes “get site” just rotates and rotates and rotates and nothing more is happening.

No problem to access the same sites with Google Chrome and Firefox

Hw can this be solved?

Hi,

please disable SecureDNS in Avast (Avast → Settings → Active Protection) and restart the browser. Does it help?

Thanks

I updated Avast to the latest version from the link in your first post and after doing that, there were no problems with SafeZone. It worked without disabeling anything.

Thanks for help and advice anyway! :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I have to inform you that the problems with SafeZone browser continues.

Today when I tried to access my bank account the same thing happens again. The site is loading and loading and loading and loading for 1 minutes and nothing is happening. I disabled the Secure DNS as you recommended but that doesn’t help either.

Unfortunately I don’t have the time today to wait and wait and wait so I have to use the regular Google Chrome browser to access my bank and I don’t like that

So what can I do now? Re-install an older version of the SafeZone browser or re-install Avast completely?

Just for your information, I have Avast premium.

This browser blocks Ajax.googleapis and results in me unable to access most of the internet.

once launched, it messed my internet connection by blocking google, youtube, video websites…

i wonder if this conflicts with opera browser. had to uninstall firewall, switch off avast activeshield and uninstall opera, chrome before I can access google, youtube with Microsoft Edge. After launched this browser again and same thing happened again.
