L'extension plante régulièrement et fait parfois planter certaines fonctionnalités du navigateur, comme les thèmes sur le edge store qui ne se télécharge pas.

Seems to do what it says. There a couple of minor glitches but It works good. I have been using Avast for over 10 years. Saved me a bunch of times.
