SafeZone is too Slooooooooooooow

system · 2017-05-08T18:04:07.000Z

I was using SafeZone browser before Avast updated recently and it was great. Speed good. After the update it takes almost a minute to load everything. Feels like I’m still using an old 386 IBM compatible with Windows 3.11
When can I expect to have this very annoying bug sorted?

I can confirm the issue, same here.

Unfortunately, you are right. This issue is already reported to our developers. I am waiting for fix now.

Sorry for inconvenience

The issue with browsing seems to have been fixed now. Sadly, the same can’t be said about opening programs, uploading and downloading.

For some reason, whenever I want to add an attachment, save an image or make SafeZone open any other program, I have to wait for about 30 to 40 seconds before the file explorer or said program opens.

Nothing freezes, it just takes a lot of time and is rather irritating because it’s impossible to tell if it’s actually attempting to open anything as there is no indication.

No other browser seems to have these problems, so since the AdBlock list has to be refreshed now every time I run the browser and I can’t generally use the browser efficiently anymore, I’m afraid I’ll have to stop using SafeZone for a while now. Which makes me sad, because I really used to think I’ve found the perfect browser.

Please, let me know if these issues get fixed.

Issue confirmed here also.

[Off Topic]:
Did note a general speedup of avast gui opening once Microsoft installed their latest cumulative update on Tuesday.

Now opens in less than three (3) seconds.

[On Topic]:
Now takes about eight seconds to open, which is about 1/2 the old time. No context or data in browser window at eight seconds, window is blank.

This should be already fixed (several days ago)
