Comodo Dragon Web Browser

Downloaded and installed it today but when I click on Browser Protection it doesn’t show Comodo. Would like to know why it doesn’t.

testing another program you dont understand ::slight_smile:

questions about comodo is best answered in comodo forum. :wink:

Because it isn’t compatible.
Why did you download that browser ???

This isn’t the first time I downloaded it. It’s supposed have extra security.

In your opinion what’s wrong with it?

Don’t use it so can’t offer a valid opinion.
I’m quite happy with Google’s Chrome Browser.
For most users their browser is a personal preference and with today’s current top contenders
there aren’t really that many security or performance differences.

My favorite and default browser is Firefox. I’ve downloaded Google Chrome several times but don’t really like it. To each his own I guess.

Hi -midnight,

If you like Firefox, then experimenting with Comodo’s variety is beyond me. Are you trying to re-invent the Internet wheel on your own or do you do this just for the sake of the experiment?
Some security solution features ftom different vendors may conflict. This is just in the bargain and we know about these various issues…
Some may play very well together (avast and DrWeb’s url checker add-on for instance).
So listen to what bob3160 has to tell you…
Here on these forums, we had many a thread on incompatibility issues beyween comodo’s and avast. You can enhance Google Chrome or Firefox for that matter also with various security extensions (script blocking, ad blocking, blocking trackers etc.). Know that Google Chrome has real time Google Safebrowsing aboard. That will cost some CPU (into the 30%), but Comodo’s browser will use even more than 50%.

Browser security should always be measured between “enough and proper” and “an amount of needless overkill”. So experimenting is OK, but do not go " too far overboard"…

I didn’t know about any incompatibility issues between Commodo’s and Avast so just to be safe side I’ll uninstall it.

See, like has been said, to each their own. Personally, I have never liked any version of Firefox and Chrome is just okay. I’m an IE guy all the way.

The Dragon browser is a modified version of Chrome, supposedly with the privacy issues removed. Since it is such a niche product, I highly doubt whether Avast will ever support it. It’s hard enough keeping up with the big three when they keep changing all the time. :slight_smile:

Hi Dch48,

That is not avast’s fault, but browsers like Google Chrome and firefox changing all the time. Almost like the flagellants - three steps forward one step back (for incompatibilities)…
Must be very hard for extension developers too keep up with developments. DrWeb’s url checker extension not working with firefox latest version now. Avast web rep constant struggling with the constant updates of Google Chrome. I know software should be constantly hardenened and updated against threats but not in such an amazing tempo…

I once asked Rapport Trusteer about Comodo Dragon… Most security software development occurs about IE and FF because they are most widely used. If you think about how often they go updated, it would be a nightmare for them to keep updated if you include the other marginal browsers…!!! (I meant for example the web module protection of your AV is often build for IE & FF, doesn’t work on Dragon).

I use the dragon browser and not really had any issues with it.Only gripe i really have is the multi architecture nature of the processes and the resource usage can be quite high although it hasnt affected my computers operation in any way.
I also like the way dragon updates internally where as with firefox which was my previous browser requires re-installation with every update and it is a real pain and the updates are just too frequent for my liking.
But yes i would recommend comodo dragon as it is no worse than some of the other browsers out there and it is noticebly faster than firefox and IE. :slight_smile:

I really like how Comodo Dragon warns me if a sight has low assurance SSL.
No one else does that

Can be achieved via extension in Chrome named Recx Security Analyzer, example: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=100964.0
Page has script from non-verified sources - cache control does not follow best practices, only x-frame options follow best practices and secure and also access-allow-origin secure - here you get an in-depth analysis of all Header Security and Cookie analysis…

My experience with Dragon is that it’s faster than Chrome, maybe because of all the datamining and reporting things that are removed. It is updated after every new Chrome release. Another difference is that it does not contain the built in Flash player that Chrome has and has to be updated with the plugin version that is used for Chromium. It now also contains PrivDog which is a new method of handling ads.

No problems with comodo dragon here… :slight_smile:
BUT…!
I do miss the noscript extension within firefox and chrome has nothing which can compare to it. :cry:

Over the years i have noticed a steady decrease in the speed of firefox and although i love the fox dearly,the slowness was getting unacceptable although of course my network connection and speed might be a primary factor.

Sadly i bid farewell to the fox and embraced the dragon which is faster.
Im still a firefox fan though. ;D

Not quit true. For Chrome, there is [b][url=http://forum.avast.com/I do miss the noscript extension within firefox and chrome has nothing which can compare to it.]ScriptSafe[/url] [/b]

Adding…

I’ve used Flashblock for quite a while, and find it works just fine on Chrome.

(Some guy in a recent review says it doesn’t work with YouTube - it does here.)
