I've officially changed my stance on HTTPS scanning

[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 966298, member: 78686"] Avast uses a different method for HTTPS inspection, without injecting fake certificates into the browser. This doesn't seem to break HTTPS on the browser level, and even preferred by browser vendors over the widely used by AV vendor's MITM method. Privacy is still violated if that's your main concern because Avast sees and scans everything loaded by the browser, but this method is better and even faster in my experience. I mean, page loads faster for me with Avast than with Kaspersky/ESET/Bitdefender when they do HTTPS scanning. [URL unfurl="true"]https://textslashplain.com/2019/08/11/spying-on-https/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
