One more known issue, update does not work. Only clean install is posible :frowning: We will try to resolve it.

3

Hmmm, are you sure about that - I got updated a while ago, so it works for me.

4

The update might be delivered by different CDN than on my machine… Yeah, it’s possible… I am glad that you got the update!

5

That would explain it. Cheers

6

Has the Video Downloader issue been fixed ???

7

Hi Bob, just tested it with one of your tutorial videos and it works for me. :slight_smile:

8

Maybe it works in the EU but it’s not working here.
There is no Downloader icon to be found.
Nothing has changed since this function stopped working.
The icon was turned off - after turning it on I still can’t get it to work.
States no videos available for download on this site (YouTube) ???

Yes, well no in-program update here. Will wait for a while to see if the issue is resolved. :-\

10

Hi, we fixed this update problem a bit later… but it went finally live…

Today we released a new BETA version: 76.0.1632.101 (This is the final RC, it seems). Feel free to share any feedback. Thank you.

11

It updated via the browser update process. Thanks

12

Same here. Cheers

13

Well unfortunately here, the ‘In Browser Update’ function is not working.
2 attempts, 2 different ERROR Messages :frowning:

14

Could it be time to do a clean install of the Secure Browser?
Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browserDownload the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
Uninstall Secure Browser via Programs and Features - RebootRun the removal tool, reboot, run the installer import your favorites if you saved them.
A video to help with the installation: https://youtu.be/r_VLA0HMLQMReport back if that’s solved the problem or not.

Thanks Bob, I’m aware of that option.
I’m going to wait for a few days to see if the issue clears.
As you can see from screenshots 2 different errors which makes me think maybe Server. :slight_smile:

16

The beta channel appears to be experiencing issues with the update :-/ Most probably related to our CDN.

I will make sure we track these issues and solve them early after release. Thanks for reporting the errors and your patience

17

Has cleared for me as the ASB installation updated itself.
Thanks :slight_smile:

known bug

NO DARK THEME YET.

So, already did a full removal of the old browser and removed all instances of old setup files. Only thing left when I search for “avast” is my license.
I click on the link provided by the OP and it still tries to download the original file and then fails. Seriously puzzled?

Current vesion,

Before removing the old version I suggest your save your settings an bookmarks to a file.
I’m port those after re-installing the new version. There appears to be a problem with importing from your browser.
