SafeZone Browser discontinued.

Well, FAQ is not totally right. SafeZone Browser was based on Opera browser (Chromium-based browser) with support from Avast (bank mode, secure DNS, ...), but Avast Software acquired Safer browser ~9 months ago and next SafeZone browser will be built on Safer (Chromium-based browser as well). Avast component will be included winthin 6 months, you will definitely not miss Avast features.
