New Version: 3.55.2393.527 - BIG update

ondrejz · 2017-02-07T15:32:13.000Z

Hi all,

today we released a new version of Avast - more details: https://forum.avast.com/?topic=196445.0

This release includes a new version of SafeZone browser (3.55.2393.527). It is one of the biggest browser updates in the history. We’ve made a lot of exciting changes that will make your browsing even better.

Major changes:

Save your settings across SafeZone
Now, whether you’re in Default or Bank Mode, you’ll use the same settings, bookmarks and history. You’ll even be able to switch between modes without losing your session, so it’s never been easier to shop or bank safely. Simply, you can switch to bank mode anytime you want and continue in it. Your shopping basket will not be lost!
Please note that if you had some custom bookmarks in the Bank mode, they will be migrated to the “Bank mode” folder on your bookmarks bar after update.

Restore recently closed tabs
Everyone has accidentally exited out of a tab they still needed, but getting those pages back doesn’t have to be a headache. Now, you can reopen recently closed tabs with the click of a button.

Bookmark your bookmarks
Now, you can save all of your SafeZone bookmarks in a separate file on your PC, allowing you to import them to other browsers, or keep them at your fingertips if you uninstall Avast and/or SafeZone.

It’s time to protect your passwords
We’ve removed your passwords from SafeZone’s auto-fill function. If you’d like a safer alternative, please consider activating Avast Passwords, which will store, manage, and auto-fill your login information, all for free. If you do so, your previous SafeZone passwords will be migrated to Avast Passwords.

Other interesting changes:

New currency converter - select a value with your mouse and it gets converted automatically in pop-up (you can set your default currency in settings)
If a page is zoomed, it’s indicated by a new magnifier icon in address bar. There is possibility to reset zoom using this icon
The mostly visited websites are displayed on the Shortcuts page
Bank mode notification prompt does not interfere with website content
Modern browser window shape
Bank Mode environment
- Faster load of the browser
- Improved UI on high DPI settings
- Fixed opening MS office documents in protected mode
- Bank mode orange floating button, which is displayed in the bottom right corner when Bank mode is running, can be temporarily hidden by right-click. You can still switch to Bank Mode using task bar icon
- Website notifications are now displayed in Bank Mode too (for security reasons, you will see them only if they comes from a tab in bank mode)
- “Switch back” button border changes color into white when a new window or dialog is displayed on your default desktop to notify you that something is happening on the desktop
New Bank Mode settings (SafeZone Add-ons page)
- You can set your custom websites that you want to switch automatically to the Bank mode
- If you set a website to ignore bank mode, you can change your mind and reset it in settings
- You can turn off displaying the bank mode notification prompt

We hope you enjoy this update!

After update of Avast Internet Security the browser Safe Zone did not work. Profile error: the system was unable to read and save the data, it is possible that some functions will not work. Somehow he managed to upgrade the Safe Zone t (SZB subdirectory), it is now working, but only in Bank mode! There is no switch to the default mode, there is no video-download button, there is no Restore recently closed tabs, etc. What to do?

Hi

I really do not know what did you managed but it is not good idea to do something like this.

I recommend to verify you have the latest version of the browser
Try repair install of avast
If it did not help, please export your bookmarks from the Bookmarks manager page, perform uninstall of avast and then install it again

Let me know how it helps. Thanks

After installing the latest update, the Bank Mode is no longer an option. Help seems to indicate that it still is, but it no longer appears on the Avast SafeZone menu. Is anybody else having this problem?

Hi,

Please make new thread here in the SZB forum for any issues
describe your problem in more details, what is exactly missing and when
, thank you

Hey guys,

Since the new update, when using the safe zone browser in bank mode, some of my web links automatically disable the bank mode (that never happened before) and even worse, some of my webpage links open a new window on my normal desktop (not safe at all)!! Let’s say I open my bank’s web page in bank mode and click on the online banking link, nothing happens on the safe zone browser but when I close the browser and return to my normal desktop, the pop-up window from my online banking login page is now displayed on my desktop - that certainly never happened before the update - can you fix that? - can’t use the safe zone browser like that…
Cheers

Avast SaveZone jest niestabilną aplikacją. Zawiesza się. Nie można wpisać adresu, haseł. Czasem udaje się po wielokrotnych próbach.
