AVG browser - customize new tab icons

When I open  new tab, how can I customize the icons, so I see the website I want to be displayed? and to save that so it doesn't change next time?

Hello Gerry,

You've reached the AVG community support forum.
Please follow the below steps to configure shortcuts in your AVG Secure Browser:

Open a new tab in your AVG Secure Browser > Click on the Customize button (pen icon in the bottom right corner) > Select Shortcuts > Select My shortcuts > Add the websites of your choice.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

I don't have a customize button in the lower right, I have a gear that says personalize and it doesn't help with the tabs

Hello Gerry,
Thank you for sharing the screenshots.

Open AVG Secure browser window and click on three dots at the top right corner.
Click on "settings" and then select "Appearance" from it.
You will see the "show home button" option.
Click on the slider available to the right of it and enable the home button.
You can then set the respective website to be opened when clicked on home button using the field appearing below.

Thank you.

enable the home button - only gives me 1 website. Look at my screenshots. I see about 12 icons that will go to a website. That's what I want to change. I want my custom websites links to go to

Gerry, please accept my sincere apologies for the misinformation.

I'm sorry to inform you that the "Customize shortcuts" options isn't available in AVG Secure Browser.
We'll certainly consider this as your valuable feedback and try out best to introduce the feature in the future updates.
Feel free to write back to us if you need further assistance.

There is a way to customize shortcuts partially. On a new tab you see 10 shortcuts. each one has 3 dots to the upper right when you hover over it. You can either remove or edit the shortcut. If you edit it, you can choose any website URL and name it.

Strangely, some shortcuts only have the remove option. Many of my shortcuts were duplicates, so in a round about way you can customize. It would be nice to understand how and why this works this way. Why certain shortcuts are added and why can't you always edit a shortcut.

For anyone wanting to know how to do this. I've discovered something else very useful for customizing the shortcuts. When you open a new tab you see 10 shortcuts to websites below. If you click on the 3 dots on the upper right of each shortcut you have an option to remove the shortcut. Once you remove enough shortcuts you end up with less than 10, then magically you see a new icon that says "add shortcut". You can add the name and URL of your custom shortcut and it's there. To change the order of the shortcuts you have to remove them all and manually add each shortcut in the order you want. ON some shortcuts you have the option to remove or edit the shortcut. Editing will enable you to customize it also.
